Torquay 5-1 Aveley

Attendance...ooh, over 4,000? (just saw that the website has a queue for tickets, lol)

Do they all have rich owners or more likely an effective business model. the most successful (from a business side) clubs in our current division or the one above do so by having lower costs and higher revenue You lower costs by paying the players less (e.g. being part time). You have fewer overhea...

Does anybody have any contacts with the National league TV. I would like to contact them. I would like to demonstrate to them that there is a significant overseas Torquay United following Who would pay good money to watch them play. Which raises another question, how much of the streaming revenue g...

Administrators. Pick up the phone and call Ryan Reynolds or Rob McElaney. I’m sure they have NO INTEREST in buying the team but they DO KNOW a whole lot of wealthy Americans who might actually like to make a similar name for themselves….Will Ferrell comes to mind but I’m guessing there’s a whole lo...

In my opinion, as a TUST member, they are being a little too cautious. What the supporters need is leadership! I’m not slagging the TUST off, they are very passionate individuals, but they could go a lot further in shining light on Osborne’s real intentions. My suspicion is that first, thr Trust ne...

Good read .. Oliver Ash one of the Maidstone bosses. Laid out all the problems with the game in the EFL and National league South. Many things to take into consideration when running a football club would imagine that their finances are in a pretty good state this season, though - with the FA Cup r...

So no names. Exactly my point. We won't get a full time manager of any note No part timer will come here to go full time. So exactly the whole point. A young part time manager with ambition would jump at the chance to manage a full time club *if* he felt he would be given appropriate support. It's ...

pretty sure we're going to lose but I can't bring myself to put down a prediction saying as much, so..

Worthing 2-4 Torquay

Chippenham 1-4 Torquay

But then the other problem he will have is Kevin Foster MP, who appears not to be a fan (like others) of Osborne. Is he a fan of the club? I seem to remember a couple of bland statements about them from him at some point, but as far as I'm aware, he's never actually been to Plainmoor. (this may tur...

Afraid it it doesn't make sense for Clarke Osbourne to wait, don't know whether Happytorq was aware, Torbay council elections were last held May 2023,less than a year ago, when it was believed to be primarily down to the Torbay road fiasco the ruling Lib Dems lost control to the Tories so there has...

Dover weren't that poor - I was at the match, and as I pointed out on another thread Torquay made them look like Brazil after the first 20 minutes or so. Some of the Dover players were doing step overs and back heels, much to the enjoyment of the home crowd! Asa Hall got clobbered at one point and ...

Can those of you who live in the community help me understand the disconnect between Mr Osborne and the “council and the bergers?” Does the council and its bergers want this team to fail? How would it benefit them if the club went out of business? What is it that they want It would not benefit the ...

Torquay 6-1 Dover

(yeah, I'm not even trying any more)

Why do you think failure to make the playoffs would be a disaster? In my opinion, it would just be another bad season. And a reason to think about making changes. They'll happen one day. The pre-season expectation was that we would get immediately promoted back to the National League - several fact...
