Torquay United v Chelmsford City Sat 9 Sept KO 3pm

If it's the Amici's in Torwood Street, then it's very good. I've been there a few times and always had a good meal. It's always busy in there.

Pre-Season Friendlies

The Plymouth manager said some very complimentary things about Torquay's performance last night. We would not have this team, and many of these players if Gary Johnson had left the club. We would be starting all over again with an unknown and untried team, and we know what that can mean. Let's all g...

I'm going to keep up my season ticket, in case we do a Luton. I'm not the Eternal Optimist for nothing.

Does anyone know if Frank Nouble has signed for any club yet?

Torquay United v Wrexham Sat 29 April KO 5.30pm.

In spite of all the negative, critical and sometimes nasty comments on this platform in recent months, the fans during the match yesterday supported the team 100 per cent, and at the end of the game gave incredible applause to the club, officials and management. No chants of 'Johnson out' at all. Ve...

Altrincham v Torquay United, 3pm, Saturday 22nd April 2023

The end of this game was as gut wrenching as the end of the Dagenham game.

PLAYERS CONTRACTS FOR NEXT SEASON.

Why do people think that a big clear out of players and manager, and bringing in all new player personnel will result in a successful team? It will be just like the beginning of this season, with the whole team consisting of players strangers to each other. It will take a new manager, and that if he...

Torquay v Wrexham Tickets

Well said TerryTorq. Next season we'll need all the true supporters to turn up, to get our team back in the NL. For fans to desert the club now would be catastrophic. Last time we were in NLS the fans did not desert the club and we were successful very quickly. From the reaction of the crowd yesterd...

Torquay v Dagenham & Redbridge 25th March 2023

If Nouble's goal had been allowed, the crowd would have carried GJ off at the end shoulder high. Two minutes later, after the winning goal was scored, the popular side were chanting 'Johnson out.' Fine margins.

Torquay United v Wealdstone - 11th March

Anyone who was at the match yesterday would not deny that Torquay should have got something from the game. The effort shown by all of the ten players kept a top team at bay for 91 minutes. Having seen the highlights, it was definitely a red card. Anyone who thinks otherwise ought to imagine if it wa...

Direct Free Kicks

Just as important is that we don't give away free kicks on the edge of the box. Yesterday's foul was totally unnecessary.

January transfer targets

And where are we going to find an experienced proven goalscorer who is unemployed at this stage of the season? As if anyone is just hanging around waiting for us to sign him up. All such proven goalscorers are all gainfully and fully employed, and have been all season. Get real.
