Torquay United v Maidstone Sat 14 Oct KO 3pm

They drew Oxford away. Not too inspiring. Can remember going away there in the early 80s. Had my boot laces removed on entering the ground. When I went to collect them on the way out, instead of my pristine red laces was presented with a scrappy, tatty old black pair. Complained but told by a copper like it or lump it!!! Charming place

Torquay United v Maidstone Sat 14 Oct KO 3pm

I thought Ash was brought in to capitalise on the head and knock off's from Jarvis. Instead he seems to be stuck out on that wing and not really very effective, but then again what do I know?

Torquay United v Maidstone Sat 14 Oct KO 3pm

First half not bad, second half atrocious. Got to say it looks to me like we'll be involved in a relegation battle rather than a play off push. On the bright side Buckland away will be an easy one to get too next season.We are a very poor side.

Torquay United v Maidstone United, Saturday 7th October, 3pm

Just seen the GJ interview. I think he knows.Looks drained and worried. That squad will not be good enough to be promoted. Can't really see us having much of a cup run either. On the bright side attendances are good and away following excellent. I phoned Taunton yesterday regarding tickets and they told me interest from TUFC fans was frantic (stated they expect tickets to be on sale Monday). Apart from the football things are quite positive!!!

Torquay United v Maidstone United, Saturday 7th October, 3pm

Sadly we were very poor 😢. The truth is we are not really very good. Good attendance on a lovely day but civil war in the Pop at the end. Think this may be the worst TUFC side ever. Still me and the boy will keep attending as I did with my old man but every time I watch the opposition warming up, rather than feeling anticipation, I feel fear.

Torquay v Hungerford. FQ Cup 3rd QR

I think he may have brought Hanson on in hope of Hungerford taking him on loan 😬

Hemel Hempstead Town v Torquay United, 23rd September 2023

Strangely, considering we are full time and they are part time, they looked fitter than us in the latter stages. I thought that we would be out pacing these part timers as the game wore on but it seems like us puffing as the game wears on.

Finally got through to Wimborne today. They told me they would accept the booking reference as proof of purchase. They asked me to arrive early as they are expecting a big crowd. Seemed very pleasant so hope there will be no hassle getting in.

Thanks Lad's. I'll present the order number as I have not had no confirmation from Wimborne. On the bright side Weston-super-Mare email tickets arrived immediately 😀

FA cup

I've had the same issue. The boy bought tickets by email but has had no confirmation as to how we get the tickets. I tried phoning this morning but no one answered. Hope it is resolved on Monday. The boy can't concentrate on his school work (although that's not unusual!!!)

Torquay United v Farnborough Tue 5TH KO 7.45

Always good to win but Boy was it scrappy. First goal came at just the right time. I was beginning to see visions of an 88th min away win. Jury still out for me, we I'll either click and take this league or scrap and scrape our way to the play offs. Hope it's the former.

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

I have been a big supporter of Johnson but something doesn't seem right with him. He looks tired and even a bit disinterested. As I look back I do wonder whether a number of those players that gave us three decent seasons were infact recruited by Owers. My boy has gone to bed he is gutted. He spent all last week trying to talk me into driving it. Sadly I have seen nothing this season to justify it. Don't take it as bad as my boy anymore but must admit working with Exeter an Argyle fans is difficult. Sadly they no longer regard us as a proper club, let alone a threat.

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

Something ain't right, we have no shape and our game does not flow. I've no idea what it is but unless something clicks were in for another season down in this dreadful league. Hate to say but that could be the final nail.
