Torquay United Fans Forum

My take on events, based on nothing other than reading the Herald article, would be that new blood/investment has already been agreed, probably by the board members who haven't resigned. The three that have, were not consulted, or disagree. Hence the "make way for new blood" statement. Th...

Rowe was high profile when we were doing well in the Conference and was happily in the centre circle before a game microphone in hand taking the paudits. Once we got beat in the play offs by Exeter and then blew the Fa Trophy final he was like a tortoise going back into his shell. He soon stepped d...

For what reasons have they left? There has been nothing official yet but it is alleged on the Rumours 'thread' that Alex Rowe resigned because decisions were made whilst he was on holiday which should have gone through the Board. If this is correct, it is understandable that he has resigned because...

This is dreadful news just five days before the first game of the season. The pre-season preparations seem to have gone reasonably well but now this. I really hope there can be some sort of reconciliation because Alex Rowe, Mark & Chris Boyce are important members of the Board. If they leave, I ...

To answer your question, Greybeard - young whippersnappers like Matt are still relatively sane but it doesn't take many seasons of watching Torquay United to degenerate into a Dildo. Hope this answers your query

Grass was created for football to be played on. Okay, I'm a luddite but there will be no more of those 'entertaining' games played in ankle-deep mud and the likes of the late great Cyril Knowles won't be able to turn the hosepipes on the pitch to get a game postponed when there's a lengthy injury li...

Very much hope he is not the striker who we have today offered terms to!!! How has the Rovers pre-season gone, Friendlygas? How's Lee Mansell looked? Are you confident for the new season (silly question - we're all confident as this stage !)? Have you moved into your new stadium ? Personally, like ...

That is truly terrible ........ but made I laff !!

Thanks Gillygull & Matt for reports of the match (I hadn't realised that Tim Sills had signed for Weymouth). The only positive I can take from your reports is that Cameron played which hopefully suggests that we won't be losing him before the start of the season. I suppose another dubious positi...

3 - 1 ????? I bet the Weymouth fans are going bananas ..........

Now this is going to stir up a bit of controversy and maybe accusations of insanity from Matt and others. If it is felt that there is a lack of a ball winner in midfield, why not try Karl Hawley when he is fit (and assuming he's still at Plainmoor at the start of the season). I told you it was a con...

The idea is stupid, no personal abuse here. If you think that suggesting someone should be sectioned is A) disgraceful or B) anything other than an obviously exaggerated expression of disagreement with the sentiment of an idea, then the internet really isn't the place for you. Matt. Wrong Matt. Hid...

I will bow to your superior knowledge. I couldn't pick one conference team from another anymore. That said, I reckon the football we're playing under Jesus is better even than that which saw us promoted last time round. Unless the conference has improved considerably since, I can't see us strugglin...

Dartford were... I don't want to say unlucky, because that's not quite right, but they finished where they did last year because they lost 10 straight games at one stage. Until then, they were looking likely to do at least as well as they did the season before, when they came 6th. They look like th...

I'm really proud. Neal is my half brother, and deserves this. Really good point made about the parents, every weekend they have been taking him around the country to trials and away games, but the club has also really done him well. We are a family of Torquay fans anyway, but Neal started out at 8(...
