Torquay v Wrexham Tickets

I was also at the 8-3 win over Newport County in October 1963 when Robin Stubbs scored 5 of our goals. Incredible to think that after 70 minutes the score was only 2-1.

Torquay v Wrexham Tickets

The one thing you can guarantee when you are going through a rough patch is that you will bump into someone for whom everything is working out just right. Such is our luck of having to host Wrexham on the last day of the season. Looking at the results and the league table yesterday during what has b...

Rumour or fact? James Crole

A 19 year old loanee with U23 potential seeking proper mens football can only be viewed as a gamble. To.play in front of a real crowd, with the pressure to perform that goes with that is something some can handle and some cant. As for Trope being taken off Gary says he plays across the line rather ...

Boreham Wood v Torquay Utd - Sat 21st January

I live in Hertfordshire 20 miles from Boreham Wood. The weather has been the same all week with temperatures just above freezing during the day and down to minus 4 or 5 at night. If there wasn't a problem yesterday then there shouldn't have been a problem today. Bad planning especially as the refere...

A New Club Record? A strange statistic.

I was also at the Newport game in October 1963. According to my records we scored 3 against Southport the game before and 1 against Gillingham the game after so another 12. However in the 3 games after that we scored 6 against Bradford Park Avenue, 6 against Barnet in the FA Cup (goalkeeper Terry Ad...

Torquay United v Aldershot 10/9/22

Maybe because the FA President is Prince William.

Ex-Gull watch

When Chesterfield played Notts County in the 2021 Play-offs they didn’t have a backup goalkeeper on the bench and their goalkeeper had to play the entire second half with a bad leg injury. After leading 2-1 at half time they lost 3-2.

Play Off Final 2022

And the BBC still haven't corrected the score. I had to check the Grimsby Twitter to confirm which team had won.

Can We Make the Play Offs?

The FL played their first league fixtures on the weekend 7-8 August whereas the NL didn't start until the 21 August. So the lack of quality opposition for pre season friendlies beyond the end of July was probably due to FL clubs not being available.

30 years ago today

Probably the 1991 Friday night Play Off Final against Blackpool.

My brother had a wedding blessing the following day when I turned up sounding like Burnley manager Sean Dyche.

Promotion chasing Squad?

Unless anyone is able to ask GJ what his recruitment timeline was I guess we will never know the answer. I couldn’t remember exactly what he said in his post match Solihull Moors interview so I copied the following from the club website. “….because at the moment some of them are proving not quite up...

Promotion chasing Squad?

It seems that getting to the Play-Off Final and remaining in the NL did us no good at all. I felt that not knowing which league we would be playing in this season gave us little time to assemble a new squad when pre-season training was only 4-5 weeks away. I’m sure the club already had several targe...

Promotion chasing Squad?

Like many of us I have been scratching my head to try to understand what may have affected our start to the season. Looking back over the last few years there may well be a reason. In the 3 years before the curtailed 2019/2020 pandemic hit season, the National League fixtures ended on the last weeke...

The F A Trophy

20 miles north east of Boreham Wood there are no weather concerns. It is 10 degrees with light rain and a bit windy.
