Reflections on the 23/24 season
The majority of the blame must lie at the feet of Johnson! The last couple of seasons he was just taking the piss, how the hell can his brother be considered a bloody scout for talented players? It was a fabulous last couple of seasons for Johnson, on a brilliant golden handshake and no one involved...

That is incorrect. The TUST-led consortium bid has not fallen by the wayside through lack of money. The bid satisfied the requirements of the administrator and the National League. There was an alternative bid that was chosen in preference to it. Let us hope that the administrator’s decision proves...

TUST is the fans representatives part of a consortium. Most of the money I assume will come from elsewhere but some will be required for place on the board. Other trusts have raised more than this and very quickly. The trust is indeed the fans representative of a consortium, but that consortiums bi...

TUST would be great, but what exactly did they mean when saying they'd need £150k raised from us within a few weeks? Can they cover this if we don't, as we struggled to get 25k in a month recently. That would be like being told you weren't going to be charged for murder but manslaughter instead, an...

And Wrexham owe about £9 million in loans to their owners I believe. Wrexham are now in Division one after consecutive promotions, so £9 million well spent me thinks. We spent almost two thirds of that and look like we're heading for consecutive relegations, so money not so well spent. A Mike Bates...

Ok, consider me the preferred bidder for a moment. Now ,I get my accountant and solicitor to go through the accounts and company set up with a very fine tooth comb,considering the previous set uo I would probably pay to have fine combing done twice .That will take a few days. Assuming their are no ...

I think we are to assume there are just rumours and people putting forward possibilities in hope rather than expectation. Whoever, it is, if the first words they utter mention “new stadium” then I’m done. It seems that you're right, though on reflection I don't seem to remember any rumour coming fr...

Truro v Torquay to be played at Meadow Park, Gloucester
Is there a Mrs Bastard?
I liked the way that Arkell looked up to see who to pass the ball to, thought what's the point and hoofed it!

New Revenue ideas?
Very commendable ideas, but in reality that's all they are, commendable, because most of them wouldn't run the club for five minutes let alone a season. I don't have any ideas commendable or otherwise, but the one thing that shouldn't remain an idea and be put into place at the next home game is th...

New Revenue ideas?
Here are a few other quick fire ideas - Save Our Club Crowdfunding campaign with local and national appeal. Use social media, local media, and club website to highlight the situation and encourage donations. - Charity matches (think former players and ex-pros who support grassroots football) - Spon...

Torquay United v Aveley F C Saturday 24 Feb KO 3pm
Probably somewhat late in the day for joining the prediction thread, but given the expected crowd level and with that the volume level, and with the players (if we have any) playing in their correct positions and a plethora of other things happening, I'm going for a 2:0 win.

Osborne gone!
I'm surprised there's still fans fawning over Osborne, it's no wonder why the council didn't engage on where the future was going given his track record. Biggest moan he didn't go to games? Don't make me laugh. You seriously need educating. Osborne saved the club for his own interests, not for anyo...

Osborne gone!
Fair enough. I'm extensively involved with startup funding, and have, in my time invested ( succesfully ) in several football clubs. I also have a lot of contacts on the UK BA circuit. If you want to attract a buyer you need to be prepared to answer questions, and also be receptive to potential int...

Osborne gone!
Your question is a reasonable one and I think merits a response and a little introspection. I'm guessing that was the reason for your post in the first place. It is my understanding that Mr Osborne DID save us from the brink of insolvency and a majority weren't all that concerned about his track re...
