Reading that Stefano - I can add that Lee Mansell had a 2nd 'job' whilst at Plainmoor - he was/still is an agent for Herbalife!

Assuming TUFC stay in this league for next season - or at worse get relegated into the Conference South - how long can the Club finances afford to cough out full time wages for a squad of players?

If finances are not healthy now, surely part time players on part time wages has to be a serious consideration for the future?

Discuss!

I would switch Eric Welsh for Scotty on the left wing and possibly put Alan Welsh in for Spratty as well - but apart from that you have a top-team there my friend!

Another goal for Sam Hancox - good to see him following in his Father's footsteps.

Ah ... but was he pushed or did he jump!

I see Cedric 'deep pockets' Munslow has been released - having recently left the Gulls Lodge accomodation and the Acadamy Squad.

Spelling error on the official site as Will Hancok is actually the son of Richard Hancox

Nice to see a local lad doing well for the Club once again.

Radio Devon have a good commentator and a knowledgeable summariser today thank heavens.

The undertaker is relegated to the tannoy system!

1) A fiasco because Radio Devon dropped the link more time than the England cricket team drops catches!!


BUT..

You cannot be serious re Breed & Fleet!!

Whilst dear old Steve Breed sounds as though he is about to orgasm in his pair of over-tight trousers every time a Gulls player has the ball around the penalty area - Chris Fleet and his monotone Brummy accent sounds as though he is at a funeral at the local Crem!

And before anyone says "you try it then"... been there, done that, have the t-shirt - for local radio elsewhere.

Bring back the days of Richard Greene and Julian Gaunt I say!!, or maybe send the current pair on a commentators training course.

Interesting to note that during the Radio Devon commentary fiasco last week (Breed & Fleet?) - they remarked about the lack of advertising boards along the perimeter fencing!

So Rob Stanley is still in charge of the stewards then - a shame he didn't get the job at Compton Pool Farm so none of this would have arisen!

Anyone any ideas who that could be?
