Latest pre-season fixture confirmed Preparations for the 2025/26 campaign are continuing apace at TUFC, with the news that Paul Wotton’s side will be making the short trip to Newton Abbot to face Buckland Athletic in the opening friendly of United’s 2025/26 warm-up schedule. The fixture will take place at Buckland’s VX3 Stadium on Saturday July 12th, with the match kicking off at 12.30pm. A pre-Season trip to our near neighbours at Homers Heath has always been a popular event for the Yellow Army, and this fixture will now be an annual occasion in United’s summer calendar, following the news that the two teams agreed an official partnership earlier this year. As ever, a warm welcome will be guaranteed for all visiting Gulls fans, with a barbeque and ice cream van also on site to add to the festivities. Entrance prices are as follows:

• Adults £10
• Concessions £7
• Under-16 £3

As a non-ticket fixture, all payments will be taken at the turnstiles on the day of the game. With a large crowd expected for United’s first pre-season outing, supporters are advised to arrive early to avoid queues at the stadium. Parking will be available in the field adjacent to the ground. Further announcements regarding The Gulls’ pre-season campaign will follow in the coming weeks, with United’s other confirmed fixture seeing League One rivals Exeter City make the visit to Plainmoor on Friday July 25th (7.30pm KO).
