THE NEW SQUAD - AN ASSESSMENT AFTER 8 GAMES
you can't really call it a squad with a couple of exceptions it's a group of players who couldn't get a better club. It's hard to think some of these players have been selected to play for us. They just happened to be available and we just happened to need players and they were prepared to come. Ser...

Torquay United v Chippenham Town 08/09/18
Time wasting, feigning injury, breaking the flow of the game......unfortunately it's all become part of football at the lower levels. Largely every team does it and is considered part of professional game management. It goes unchecked by all referees. The only way to prevent it......ensure that the ...

Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr
ref the councillors and being on the ball....have you seen Torquay recently, the plans for the Pavilion and whether you believe it's a good thing or not what a mess has been made of that, the purchase of Wren Park (when retail is in decline) for £20m. I'll be transparent and say that I don't believe...

Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr
to a degree they got involved by default....lent £100k to the club on condition if not repaid by a certain date the ownership would fall into their hands. Other parties fell through and we end up with GI. GI money has keep the club afloat and there's plenty of people who are party to the current pre...

Option 4. We merge with Truro City. Play at Truro whilst new ground is built. We are losing £6000 a week. £300,000 per year A club 2 divisions below us earn this by way of renting out their 2 4g pitches at £30 an hour. Includes local schools that do their sports lessons there. Basically £300 a day ...

THE NEW SQUAD - AN ASSESSMENT AFTER 8 GAMES
Fair assessment on the squad with exception of Gary Owers being viewed as having done a good job...in general team formation hasn't worked, midfield has frequently been by passed with long balls to Williams who rarely wins a header and as mentioned needs the ball to feet and not back to goal. I'd lo...

Torquay United v Hemel Hempstead Town, Saturday 1st September 2018
Mellow Yellow and Forever TUFC...the point isn't whether you can attract the best part time talent but whether part time talent is better than full time talent or simply whether we could attract better part time talent than our current full time talent. Loan signings may be the way and to become som...

Torquay United v Hemel Hempstead Town, Saturday 1st September 2018
I am well aware we are a non league team and are crap. I totally agree we a former league team and should never consider ourselves a so called big club, how the hell can you do this at this level? My comment on beating teams with ease at this level is based on that we are still full time and should...

Go G.O!!
I have a balanced view of Jamie Reid. the reality is this...his performances are pretty consistent, he,'s right footed and being played on the left and is then required to cut back onto his right which impacts his performances. He's fairly consistent....the only things that change are whether he sco...

Torquay United v Bath City 7/8/2018
the master plan is to give the part timers the ball for 70 mins, allow them to run out of steam and sneak a win in the final 20 mins

Torquay United v Bath City 7/8/2018
a long season awaits. Bath decent movement, crisp passing good energy. Torquay...the opposite. But it's still nil nil and if we grab a goal then we could win. It's bloody awful though

Madness! If there's not enough conspiracy theories already. Jules Rimet must be scratching his head.

it's coming home!
Looking forward to this season. Lots of reasons to be positive and a big push for promotion to carry momentum into next season back in the National League. Gary Owers pulling a decent team together playing a decent style of football. New kit looks good even with a bit of black on it. Pitch is lookin...

Jamie Reid (again, probably)
give the lad a break.....in most games last season the same old faces getting on his back before he'd kicked a ball, he scores a goal and the same people are chanting his name. Reality is if he could hit some of the levels of expectation that fans have for him he'd be playing league football. he pla...
