Supporter Update: 28/03/24

Post by TorquayFans.com »

Torquay United FC would like to provide supporters with the latest update on the current situation at Plainmoor. Although the announcement of the Club’s intention to enter administration on Thursday 22nd February came as a shock to players, staff and supporters alike, the unity shown by all that hold Torquay United FC close to their hearts has shone through, and has only gone to strengthen the determination of everyone at Plainmoor to ensure that the future will herald a brighter, more sustainable, future for this very special Football Club. Thank You Image Ever since TUFC was put up for sale, we have been inundated with support from our beloved Yellow Army. When YOUR club needed you most, you answered the call, and everyone here at Plainmoor is truly grateful. The significant number of goodwill messages and size of the donations received continues to astound us all, and with every single Club employee directly affected by the recent events off the field, we cannot thank you all enough for all the support you have given us all. Every single donation – whatever the value – is hugely appreciated, but we feel it is only right to pay tribute to Marilyn Windley, who this week made her way up to the stadium with the sole purpose of making an astonishing donation to the Club. Upon her arrival, Marilyn stressed how much the Club means to her and her son, and how she wants to help ensure the Club continues to survive for years to come. Thank you Marilyn, for this extremely kind gesture, and we can assure you we will continue to keep working hard to ensure professional football continues to thrive at Plainmoor. Thanks to the continued support of the Yellow Army – and our friends from all across the local community and footballing world – the total donations received as of Wednesday 27th March has now reached an astonishing £26,719.18, which contributed greatly to ensure that ALL player and staff wages were paid for the month of March. This is obviously a huge relief for all the Club’s employees – playing and backroom staff – and every single penny raised by the Club helps to ensure TUFC continues to function and fulfil its fixtures. Thank you all.   Bank Holiday v Weston-super-Mare Image At present, the Club continues to function on a week-by-week basis whilst new ownership is sought, and until this process is completed, the Yellow Army’s continued support remains absolutely vital. We really can’t get through this without you. With this in mind, we can’t emphasise enough that every match ticket booked, Club Shop item purchased, or even pint in Boots & Laces drank, directly benefits TUFC, and helps keep the Club afloat. In addition to our designated PayPal Donations account, the Club will continue to run a number of fundraising promotions, which we hope supporters will continue to support, whilst gaining the opportunity of getting something back in return. A number of raffles and auctions have already captured the Yellow Army’s imagination, and there will more new ideas to come over the coming weeks! With...
