DevonBee wrote: 12 Jan 2023, 20:01 Not suprised, more of his depth League 2 with AFC Wombles, not getting regular games for FGR be interesting to see how it turns out for him.
According to Beeb article he has played 25 games this season for FGR. Vast improvement on fitness level compared to when he was here.

Chippenham town cup game 20/12/22

Crowd 768, 15 away. Are those figures actual attendees, or tickets sold. Because due to it being postponed from a date most people could get to, to a short notice rearrangement, I am sure a lot of tickets would have been purchased for the original date that the fans couldn't use for the rearranged ...

Gary Johnson, stick or twist?

For those saying a change in manager would lead to an improvement in results, you might want to look at Slough Town. They have just replaced their long-term management team, and the new manager had a dream start. A humiliating 1-5 home defeat. Just a warning, a change isn't always the best option.

The loyal supporters quiz.

So you think you are a loyal supporter of Torquay united. Both Mrs Dawlish and I have set you a quick quiz that should be easy pickings for a loyal supporter. 1. In January 1979 Torquay united were drawn away against which opposition in round 3 of the FA Cup. Who were the apponants and what was unu...

TORQUAY FA CUP TIE SELECTED FOR LIVE TV COVERAGE

Similar to normal matchday pricing so not that bothered. To be expected to put a quid or two on top. There will always be those that watch from home but I'd rather spend a few bob more and be there in person. For me, the lad and father-in-law £52. Happy enough with that. If we were playing Accringt...

York City v Torquay United, Saturday 8th October, 2022

I see Asa came on for the last 5 minutes. Given his form, this season, does that now mean he will be unavailable for the next 5 matches? :whistle:

Chelston TUFC wrote: 24 Sep 2022, 21:03 If we kick off at 1pm but dont tell the opposition we stand a chance of winning a game
If we did that, we would probably still get even more players injured.

Wrexham v Torquay United Sat 24 Sept KO 3pm

I think we all knew what was coming today but prayed for a miracle. Unfortunately, we seem to have used ours already, in games versus Halifax and Southend.
