Torquay United Fans Forum

I bet Cheltenham fans are relishing the thought of back-to-back relegations.

Corrected for you.

I, too, am delighted for him. It just goes to show what a decent manager can achieve.

Having had a really sh!t couple of weeks (work-related) it is such a relief to finally get some good news for a change.

Thanks for everything Aaron and good luck wherever you find yourself next. And, welcome, to Paul Wotton, who I'm sure will get a great reception at TQ1.

Please no! No change to the badge.

My local team had their badge 'rebranded' recently from a version of the town's coat of arms to a monstrosity that looked like the Starbucks mermaid wearing a skirt and holding a volleyball with a pair of 'crab' hands... and as one supporter spotted it looked like a pair bollocks either side of her head...yes, it's that hideous.

So. Leave it alone!

One of, if not the, best left backs I've seen play for Torquay.

Joined us from Doncaster in '88 and went on to play for Birmingham, Everton and West Brom before re-joining to us in '99.

RiP, Paul

I don’t think we’ve ever played Chatham but recall going to Enfield for an FA Cup match when we were 4th division and they were a good non league team.

Feel free to quote me if I'm wrong (I usually am!)... but the team we played back in '94 in the FA Cup was 'Enfield FC'... the team facing Chatham in the play-offs is 'Enfield Town FC' who I think were formed in the early 2000s by supporters who were fed up with the owner of 'Enfield FC'

So, by my reckoning, we've never played either of the two aforementioned clubs.

here we go again... more 'rumours'.

Don't you just love 'em!

Wingman IPA, brucie? .... why not try some Restorative Beverage for Invalids and Convalescents!*


*Yes, it's actually a beer and only £4.99 a can!

Thanks a bunch, desperado.

Poured some new/fresh petrol into the mower and it wouldn't bloody work! ... so I unravelled the electric cable lead, plugged it in... BOOM!

What a difference it makes to go to Plainmoor (or any away fixture) and actually enjoy 90 minutes of entertainment.

No pressure. No stress (well apart from the hour detour at Sparkford which meant we arrived at Plainmoor with 20 mins to spare).

Tongue in cheek, I'd predicted 7-0 in the prediction league... I honestly thought it could have been that at half-time!

But that's it season over for another year, safety assured... now all we ALL want to know is who are the new owners, and, more importantly does my lawnmower need a service before the summer kicks in... **trundles off to shed**

There's more chance of me winning the lottery on Saturday, the 50/50 draw at Plainmoor, and my son offering to buy me a pint!



As long as the powder-puff girls blouses of the PL are happy, then why should the rest of us plebs even be given a second thought.

Dead rubber.

7-0

So, in a nutshell, 700+ clubs have to bend over backwards and lose out on potentially lucrative replays so that the over-paid prima donnas of the PL can have a nice long summer holiday. Cheers FA. What a joke.

Oh, I'm sure there is Culmstock... it was more wishful thinking rather than anything else.

Now that our league safety is secured, I'm sure the club would NOW love to tell us who our new owner(s) is/are.
