Torquay United Fans Forum

Sods law , it would have to be Hartlepool who drop into the National League,nice little trip on a wet and cold Tuesday night,
. so much easier to pop up to Newport.

Mervyn Gill who we got from Southampton and local boy Peter Wakham who was bought by Sunderland,two of my earliest keepers but For the odd one or two Torquay have allways had decent keepers.

Great result and credit must go to all the players and Kevin Nicolson,somehow after many terrible results throughout the season to win the last three matches something incredible must have happened.Some of these players must have turned the corner and should be retained for next season but of course the budget is the deciding factor.By the way a fantastic crowd today,best in the league (don't know the Aldershot crowd as I write ),but shows the love of Torquay is not dead.Shame it's going into the pocket of the undesirable.

Dose any of the lads sing,He's one of our own,he's one of our own,Kevin Nicholson,he's one of our own.A steel from Spurs and Harry Kane.

I was sat in my garden in Somerset thinking well that's that when out of the blue Paul Dobson scored,heaven,we where saved,the joy was unbelievable,I had to write to Stuart Morgan who I think was the manager,saying you never miss what you have untill it's gone.Now of course we are used to it.

Anybody got a dog you can bring!!

Dose anybody think that if this group of players were kept together they could get us out of the national south,just that we seem to have been playing better these last few weeks?

Unfortunatly league football is not sustainable in Torquay, whoever is in charge , for all the reasons that have been posted on this site,it's like Tesco opening a giant supermarket in Widdicombe,not enough customers and not enough staff.The time has come to be radical,where dose the money come from that keeps the club afloat,I guess it's the supporters , so without gate money and players fund the owners would have to put their hand into their own pockets,not something that at the moment they are willing to do,if nobody turned up to watch the games the club would soon disapear. Let mr Osborne have the club,let the council sell the ground,hopefully they would build affordable housing so some people would benifit ,I would rather see Torquay play in some league down the pyrimid and perhaps ground shearing with the Tics at the Rec. There must be 1000 people who would put 100 quid into the new club , with voting rites to change committies, and become shareholders .Let's start again , alla Wimbledon,we could become the club south west semi pro footballers would want to play for and if in the future we grow to think about National south football we would be viable and confident to do so, I take no pleasure in taking this course ,as a lifelong supporter , but enough is enough,we must put a stop to this madness and start again,I would not see the fruits of this revolution but true Torquay fans would,a sustainable club,ruled by true Torquay supporters and something to be proud of.

Excellent post gull power , shows nothing changes ,also I will have a bottle of the Pectoral Balsam of Honey !.

Hi Sesimbra, Harry played at left back and John Smith ar right back ,Denis Lewis at right half and Griffin Norman at center half,the forward line was Shaw !Collins ,Calland ,Mills ,Tony Collins and Mervyn Gill in goal,a teriffic team with the likes of Peter Wakham goalkeeper,Graham Bond and Jimmy James ,oh for that quality now.

I was sad to read the news of the passing of Harry Smith,part of the great team that I first saw at Plainmoor,never gave anything but 100%,thanks once again for making me a Torquay supporter for sixty years,R I P Harry.

Thanks for the nice words Gloucester,I ecco all your thoughts.
Merry Christmas All

Who thinks that Forest Green are having a bit of a clereout,four players now out on loan,is the fairy godmother pulling in her majic wand!!

Liked the words that Kevin Nicolson said on the subject,there are more important things than football.

Defiantly, a great night even without Adge
