Torquay United Fans Forum

Well I want to see it damn quick, at least then we'll get an idea of if CH actually does have any ideas and any managerial evil.

From what I saw today, the majority of those players haven't got any commitment whatsoever.

I cannot wait to see what the retained list looks like.

[quote][b]Anyway, he then says that we have a good youth system that is beginning to produce players. Errrr where? Perhaps instead of considering offering another contract to a long term injured player who has not done anything for us then we could instead see these youth players that we are apparently producing?

You can't get much shitter than the conference so if the young lads can't get a crack at this lowly level then they may as well go and work for Asda or something.[/quote]

Posted this yesterday but I thought it was appropriate to post it again. If you missed Alex Rowe taking the Gulls for idiots then have a look at it.

:O Anywhere but ASDA...!!

Just seen the short interview on the BBC Sport Football League 2 website with Alex Rowe talking about our drop into the conference.

Strangely he is bigging up the fans and saying that he is "confident as usual our fans will rally round and we can keep the financial deficit to a minimum".

Hmmm, nice touch. As usual mate everyone else will get the club out of the shit and not those culpable for the mistakes. It's like the bankers and taxpayers all over again!

I just hate this assumption that you cash cows will turn up trumps again and come up with the goods. It's statements like these that make me think that Dave (forever) and others are spot on to stick two fingers up. Renew if you want but I just can't see why anyone would other than the 'true supporters' argument being levelled.

We also had Steve Woods and Matt Hockley I believe, and Chris Robertson had been with us on loan.

Yes we have gone from being bankrupt to the conference big spenders in the space of a week so its probably a case of wait and see.
One difference between this and the last time we went down was that on the last occasion with the exception of Mansell and Kevin Hill I don't think we had any other players if I recall correctly.
We do however have a slight ly better nucleus of players so wouldn't presumably have to sign the Conference all stars eleven to have a new team.
Other than that I have no idea whats going to happen - I don't think the Thea Bristow interview refrerred to her saying we were going to buy every player in the conference, more that she thought the supporters at Mansfield looking like bananas were good and she was looking for something to do in July.
Thats hardly the same as "we are going to walk the conference next year"

THEA IS OUR LEADER! THEA IS OUR LEADER! NAH NAH NAH NAH! NAH NAH NAH NAH!

[quote="potnoodle"]What about the rest of board. What about their commitment. You going to shouting at their names too.

I don't get you lot on here. Only last week CH was shocked at how bad the finances were. Now we have commitment from the board to get us back up. How come there will now be money ready for next season. Why wasn't to available for us to stay in the football league???

The club are sending out their comments. It's a smoke screen keep you lot on side.

You all need to take a step back and have a think![/quote]

I don't for one minute believe what has been said. It's just words and I think many Torquay fans would look at it that way. For those who don't renew their season tickets now and are perhaps waiting to see what happens over the summer then maybe the actions will speak louder than the words but for now I totally agree potnoodle. It's just more empty words. When the actions begin to speak for themselves then we will only truly know for sure if they are genuine.

I'm not going to let that stop my positivity for next season because I have an idea in my head of what CH REALLY has to work with and it equates to a fish and chip supper and a can of Fanta. With that in mind I expect mid table and some better football. If the board are telling the truth then great, we can go **** mental but for now I believe my own mind which is accept we have nothing, move on and remain optimistic for the new season no matter how much or how little cash we have.

COYY!!

Fair play to you Steve to fronting up and admitting regret to comments which anyone of us could have made after the Daggers game.

just realised cant play any more signing games ive been outed lol

I'm just disappointed that Breedy types like a 4 year old. I always thought it was put on to cover an identity or writing style.

[quote="ferrarilover"]How on Earth have you been going so regularly and for so long without meeting Breedy? f***'s sake, he's big enough (he must be 6' 3")

Also, no one seems to have got excited about Teeboo being unmasked.

Know who Steve Breed is, just never spoken to him, as for his unmasking, lol. Thought most had figured it out from his postings, I had.

I am, it's an iconic forum moment. I'm still reeling from it.
