Bryn Consortium Take-Over

The deal will be far from done. But, there is great hope. To take over the club, you would need a single investor, partnership (two people) or a company. This is what you are seeing, a company take us over and you can see it being formed. There may be additional names arriving to invest. The people...

Bryn Consortium Take-Over

A minor point. Is it four or five consortium members? According to Companies House, Westcott and three others (Bowes-Cavanagh, Allen and Robinson) became directors of Scoring Goals Limited today. I can see no reference to Rob Hawes who was named as one member of the consortium under the new ‘prefer...

Would be brilliant, although unlikely, that he came back to us. And Shaun MacDonald……
That would give us a fighting chance for next season.

Infandous?? Just had to look it up - “infandous” is defined as something too odious to be expressed or mentioned.

Love it when I learn a new word :nod:

Wonder if Ben Gerring is involved. He must have a bit of money selling all those luxury cars, plus he was at Taunton and also donated a meal for four raffle prize last week. Just saying…..

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

I spoke to Aaron Jarvis last night and he said his knee isn't good. He said there was no chance he would be fit for Saturday. Accusations that he doesn't want to play are unfair. I completely agree Skillsy. Watching Jarvis celebrate on the pitch at the final whistle, there was absolutely no doubt t...

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

Am I right in thinking that Dan Lavercombe will be suspended following his recent red card and do they will have a reserve keeper playing? That said, Bath could have played without a keeper so it sure how much of an advantage it will actually be! I think all suspensions have ended for this season, ...

Bath City v Torquay United Sat 13th April 3pm

I was just reading Wrexham’s Rob McElhenney’s comments following Paul Mullins goal in yesterday’s 6 -0 win against Forest Green, thereby confirming Wrexham’s promotion. He said -"This may be my favourite goal of his. Not a game winner or anything fancy. Just perseverance, hustle and grit,"...

Updated after a further point deducted Friday 12th April.

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

Taunton are one down at home to Slough. Dan Lavercombe has been sent off. He’s still eligible to play on Saturday and Tuesday, yes? Apparently there will be no further suspensions for the rest of the season ( according to the commentator I’m listening to on the Taunton V Slough game - yes, this is ...

The silence about the outcome of all of this is deafening. Just bloody tell us! Checking back on here and all over the bloody internet every 5 minutes is bloody stressful. It's bad enough being a Torquay fan right now without all this 'who is it?' malarky. Football is supposed to be enjoyable (for ...

Well I'd have thought a confidentiality agreement would mean TUST not even saying they've put in a bid! Secondly, didn't TUST state they would need £150k from us supporters to fulfil next season's obligations. If so, you'd have thought it obvious they weren't going to satisfy the requirements of ha...

On the Torquay Talk forum there’s a suggestion that The Torbay Weekly posted that the Edwards, Hayman bid was the preferred bidders and that was then edited and removed. No great surprise and I do hope it’s wrong but saves me a journey for the last game of the season I refuse to give my money to an...
