**23rd March v Hampton & Richmond** - Big Protest Day
Regarding a phoenix type club, how much did it cost FC United of Manchester to set up etc? Anyone know? The provisional development for building a stadium and community facility was £3.5 million See link for how they proposed to raise the capital: https://fc-utd.co.uk/files/documents/FCUM%20Offer%2...

**23rd March v Hampton & Richmond** - Big Protest Day
He is a very cunning, cold and astute operator, and this is like a game of chess, we are trying to catch up and cannot see the whole board, while he is 20 moves ahead of us. Characteristics that are typical of most successful entrepreneurs who have navigated their way to the top. I get the drift th...

Braintree v Torquay Sat 17th Feb 2024
Form guide (last 6) shows Braintree 4th and Torquay 22nd. I am going with underdogs with a record that could be misleading.
Braintree 0 - 2 TUFC

Taunton Town v Torquay United TUE 13th
I'm surprised clubs like Taunton don't go the 3G pitch route. I don't believe there is another 3G pitch other than Dorchester down our part of the world. Yet in the south east many clubs have them. It's a big advantage for the home team and good for the community. Start on the premise that Taunton ...

Message to the "protesters"
Are YOU happy with the way YOUR football club is being run?
All depends what you're comparing it with - Man City or Bury?

It's alway difficult to get a true handle of cost but Maidstone United co-director Oliver Ash posted article a few years back about the challenges the Kent club faced when they were competing in the National League. "It will take longer than we thought to get into the EFL (English Football Leag...

Is it really that unfeasible that the club has lost millions since CO ownee us? ... It all soon adds up Club chairman (and effective owner) David Bosomworth, Halifax Town (2019) "it costs on average £150,000 a month to run National League FC Halifax" Town. 5 years later after Covid and In...

**23rd March v Hampton & Richmond** - Big Protest Day
I understand the point - Uncle Clarke is a property developer. That's not a crime. For me the root cause goes back to Dave Phillips and co. When they took hold of the club the realisation dawned on them that running a football club was somewhat akin to pouring money down the drain. Success they thou...

**23rd March v Hampton & Richmond** - Big Protest Day
If the only solution to all of this "is for a Phoenix club now ... and try to arrange a groundshare with Buckland?" then count me out. If everyone is up in arms for having a bad season in NLS then what hope is there to maintain passion in the Bay for Western League Division football.

Taunton Town v Torquay United TUE 13th
I do feel sorry for Taunton - a winding up petition and transfer embargo for owing the tax man a measly £14k and having to sign up three Bridgwater & Taunton College students to make up the squad. If we cannot convincingly beat a college team of under 18 year old kids then we might as well pack ...

New Blue Card
Football rules (and other sports) evolve over time as things change. There was a time before yellow and red cards... Indeed, I reminisce back to 1967 before the red card when Bristol City played Tottenham in the FA Cup and Spurs captain Dave Mackay refused to walk when the ref sent him off, After t...

I'm going to take we play with intent as we did against Maidstone. With Slough being the 3rd highest scorers in this league I'm going for a high scoring game

Maidstone v Torquay United TUE 6th Feb
Absolute screamer but you have to question how he got so free of the midfield to have so much space to strike from. When you look at the highlights take a look at the inexperience of Archer, playing twinkle toes in our half and getting hustled off the ball when a simple pass would have done at a ti...
