The official amount raised is £20k plus whatever gate receipts are profit. The wage bill has hopefully dropped.

You saying Osbourne is still paying?

Can't see it being anyone else

And so should he be paying. This seasons mess is his responsibility. He appointed people to run the club to make contracts with players and he should honour those contracts.

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough 2-2

Pretty sure it's not Osborne paying. His statement said he could no longer fund the club. It seems apparent that all of the revenue of from the home games since the announcement - plus whatever has been donated directly to the club - will be used to pay wages come the end of the month (don't know the exact date).

This is why he's filed the Notice of Intent for administration - he's walked away, presumably because the council told him again he couldn't just have Plainmoor without some sort of realistic plan to replace it.

Torquay 0 Hampton 5

2-0, weird league where anyone can beat anyone.
Big reaction

1-4 and won’t be wasting any more hard earned money, spent a fortune on this lot!

This is the time to blindly rally behind the team, I’m not confident these can stay up but I won’t tell them that.

Don’t Panic - Hope we’re not all doomed!

Unfortunately I wasn’t born in Manchester or London, so Torquay are my team. I understand the frustration, anger and humiliation of this season and previous ones. Losing at home to teams I’ve never heard of is humiliating, however surely you support your team through good and bad, even the really bad ? I can’t understand people saying “I’m not going anymore”, you really just go when we’re having a good season? Even more so now when we need every penny.

I can’t see us winning Saturday, but I’ll still be there. Thanks to the Plymouth and Exeter supporters who are coming along as well. Hopefully they’ll see the bigger picture and not allow alcohol to spoil things.

TUFC 1 Hampton 3. Att 2,800.

Just to explain as to why me and my daughter are not going on sat, (and not just a glory hunter) I have followed Utd for 42 yrs my girl 21 we come from mid East Sussex and follow home and away 4 and a half hours one way, work is very very tight so at this pivotal time in the season we just have to draw a line, we are not jumping ship as someone has basically said,just hope tq1 is full and we get the money and just as important pts, I fear that if we do drop down my away days will be gone some will be just too far away, sing away guys! Want to hear you on the rad!!

No need to explain RedGull, hats off to you for making the trip when you can
