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,"...

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 ...

https://dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2017/11/brewdogs-watt-to-help-buy-soccer-club/ Interesting link based on this rumour ... Hmmmm, maybe there is something in this rumour. I see that James Watt has been dating local girl and national celebrity Georgia Toffolo since last year. Maybe he wants to buy he...

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...

Truro v Torquay to be played at Meadow Park, Gloucester

I shall be attending but not with a great deal of confidence, probably much the same as the players. I keep thinking that I will wake up and the players will start performing to their potential, some have in previous seasons and next season at another club will prove what a shambles this season has...

he obviously didn't like the surface and more or less gave up - embarrassing performance.
I heard that his baby has been ill and been in and out of hospital. That kind of worry helps to reassess your priorities. Good luck to him and his family

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

:goodpost: Theres just no point in buying a ghost ticket if you can get there its so counter productive. Just go along and support the team simple as that. :goodpost: There is just so much riding on this game it is massive. Yes we are crap we all know that BUT we dont need many wins to avoid the dro...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

I was at the Tonbridge Angels game yesterday as well as the Taunton game on Tuesday. Without a doubt Torquay started the Tonbridge game very differently than on Tuesday night. They started with real purpose and energy. Even after going a goal down I felt confident that we could still win the game. T...

Does anyone know whether this embargo will affect our 2 loan players? I know WJD is a season long loan, but Transfermarket shows Jude Boyd’s loan as finishing on 5th March, even though he’s still ( was ) here as of yesterday?

I really don't get the sudden decision to go the administration route. Why not just put the club up for sale without the added risk to the football club? I have no doubt whatsoever, that the sole reason CO announced intention of going into administration rather than putting the club up for sale, wa...
