Torquay United Fans Forum

I think the council have looked after us as best they could given the current financial climate. They weren't duped by Osborne so fair play to them I say. and they continue to do so, this from the Mayor (a good fan by the way) after their meeting last night: I will do all that I can to help and wor...

Technically, yes, but the Councillors supervise and look after it as our representatives and need to be kept on their toes.

......and a bit more as I wrote Kevin Foster as well: On behalf of Kevin Foster MP, thank you for your email. Kevin is aware of the club’s announcement, on the back of this he has organised a meeting with the Torquay United Supporters Trust to discuss how he can support fans. Kevin has also requeste...

I have already written to Cllr. Steve Darling no doubt pushing at an open door as he is a fan. Every local fan should be writing to their ward Councillors to ask for their support. The Council is under a lot of budget pressure so every effort should be made by us to keep them on their toes. If you ...

Now Yeovil are miles ahead... Maidstone are big news we will be lucky to claim 5th Spot at best! Yes, Maidstone may not just be big news if they plough their FA Cup income into their team to cement their playoff ambitions (although, having seen the highlights of the Ipswich match I don't think thei...

Look the other way and we're just nine points above Truro (in the drop zone) and they have a game in hand on us

Yeovil finding it tough too

This is really good news, I was impressed with him last season and remember one goal in particular when he cut in from the right and completely lost his marker with a lovely feint to open up the space for the shot.

I disagree, it actually gives both team an opportunity to play under forced circumstances that they will encounter in a full season and learn from it.

Cause and effect, who signed the players?

Well, we went down with all guns blazing and I'm still proudly wearing my TU shirt as I type this. One little aside, hats off to their keeper Foster who took time out just before the second half started to allow youngsters from the Family Stand to take selfies with him. Well done that man. I can't a...

Am I reading too much into the statement as George and Mel get a mention by name but GJ doesn't.

I just can’t see Maidenhead picking up a win! But it’s a funny old game.. I hope you are right about Maidenhead, if you are, our win there the other day will have proved to be absolutely priceless. However, there is nothing funny about the game for me at the moment! My emotions, which were just abo...

I was in line with their last man in the build up and I'm fairly sure it wasn't offside, but as you state, who cares, the goal (which was a peach) was given.
