Bryn Consortium Take-Over

That's the kind of interview that will bring fans flocking to Plainmoor. I'm blown away by the transparency. Agree - a thoroughly encouraging start. Not much more he could say. It looks as though Mr. Westcott will be te 'front-man' (if you will) for the consortium, which itself is positive given th...

Ex-Gull watch

He is better than regional football admittedly - but I see no reference to him moving to another club having been released from the OPR development squad. Well, yah, because QPR's job is to tell their players whether or not they have a contract. It's not their job to find them a new club. I would i...

Bryn Consortium Take-Over

Not so sure about that, it seems according to the small print the Torquay United AFC Ltd will continue to run the club with the Bryn consortium being the major shareholder, I hope that does not mean that Edawrds and Hayman stay in post. is this not how it always works? you own a piece (or all) of t...

Bryn Consortium Take-Over

Genuinely don't understand the hate that the Trust seems to engender. For 6 years we had an ownership group who patently did not give a toss about the actual club or the fanbase. Do you want people involved who care about the club? That's the Trust Do you people involved who want the club to have lo...

Torquay Utd under 18

Good season from the Under 18s. Hard to tell whether any of them will make it (with us, or elsewhere) but it's encouraging that they are performing well. I'd hope that the new management and ownership do whatever they can to make it easier for players to transition from a youth side to the first tea...

A bit harsh in the circumstances, I think. I thought he did well in very difficult times.
could be that they can't afford him. They struggled to pay players back in february, after all.

"bitcoin club" seems like a hiding to nothing, honestly, because that $4.5m could be worth half that next year (equally, could be twice as much; crypto is a little bit too volatile and opaque for my tastes). Bedford is going to be very well placed to grow as a town in the next 5-10 years, ...

Torquay United v H&W Sat 20th Apr 3pm

Why would Torquay United want to sign any players from Taunton who have proved that they are not good enough to play at this level? I hope to be proved wrong, but I remain highly suspicious about the secrecy surrounding the identity of the preferred bidder. As previously mentioned, other clubs are ...

Next season.

The statement mentions poor runs and a disastrous season, why would we want him here? Most managers have an expiration date - it's incredibly rare for a manager to have success at one club for more than a few seasons. Look no further than Gary Johnson - not only with us, but also with Yeovil, he ha...

So the winning bid had more money, which means the TUST had insufficient. I'd suggest that the bid that TUST has been involved with came in with a budget and a business plan (we know that at least one of the people involved is wealthy), but there was another bid that had a bigger budget and busines...

Reflections on the 23/24 season

Oddly, the first 20 minutes of the season I really thought we were going to piss it. 2-0 up at Dover. Then we collapse (a nice preview of the season overall) Lots of factors combined to make this season a misery, though. Johnson - the manager should undoubtedly have left after relegation last season...
