The petition needs 25 signatures to be considered by the Council and I'm pretty sure that Bay residents made up the first 25 to sign. I'd say that it's important now to show the Council the strength of feeling by getting as many signatures as possible from far and wide.

So spread the word - post on social media etc :scarf:

What's the likely plan / outlook for TUFC if GI decide to back out? Anybody know what plan B is?

Do we continue on the path of having a procession of poor boardroom members, making poor decisions at board level, subsequently only being able to put out poor teams on match days. What is our future business model which will allow us to be competitive in this League, if not higher? Are we waiting for the next Lottery winner to step forward?

Is the likely scenario - The Devil (GI) or the Deep Blue sea (Administration)?

I'm guessing you don't have to live in the Bay to sign the petition - that's why the registration form asks what County you live in.

Because not everyone wants to force the club to remain at Plainmoor when moving to a new ground might actually be for the best.
I am more interested in making sure GI build us a new ground first before being allowed kick us out of Plainmoor.

Personally I am 100 % in favour of moving the club away from Plainmoor, but I did sign this petition because it's an issue of trust for me, can we trust G.I on past history clearly not.

I fully admit to be one of those who have said, give them a chance, however until I see some concrete evidence of them putting plans in place to move our club forward, we should remain vigilant, and I will not trust them until they do so.

So it doesn't matter where your thoughts in terms of whether we should move or not, or where you live, sign the petition.

My feelings exactly Dave. Until a new stadium is built which can enable Torquay Utd to survive and hopefully prosper then yes to staying at Plainmoor.

The trouble with putting plans in place forevertufc is they mean nothing because plans do not always proceed to a conclusion.

On balance, I can see the business argument for leaving Plainmoor, but I hope GI are cute enough to understand why so many of us are fearful of their intentions purely because of their track record over many years of NOT delivering. Simples.

Gosh I find myself in agreement with the last four posters, two of whom seem to come from the EU. Trump that!

:goodpost: I have copied and pasted the comment below from a post I made on the Torquay v Woking thread.

The petition is not against GI. It is about making sure that the Council as landlords of Plainmoor do not sell the club down the river.

The petition is, as the title says, about saving Plainmoor to ensure that TUFC continue to play there. As David Thomas has written/said, GI have made no secret of the fact that they want to build a new stadium. Fair enough. But their record shows that they are prone to taking over clubs and promising new stadiums which never materialise. I have said before that if GI want to build an all singing, dancing fandango stadium with bells and whistles on for TUFC to walk into as they walk out of Plainmoor I will be the first to learn how to do cartwheels. The petition is about trying to make sure that the Club do not end up groundless.
