Torquay United Fans Forum

Considering that if we make the play offs we will very likely have to face Worthing again I think it's safe to say we will still be in the NLS next season.
Time to make a change surely.

Kevin Foster, the local MP, says he talked to the council leadership. All the council did was give the club a polite hearing and reiterated that Plainmoor is NOT for sale, they also queried how the club intended to finance any development.
In other words nothing is going to happen so stop worrying.

Think when it comes to part-time players some perhaps are looking at this the wrong way, Buckland Athletics players are not all from Newton Abbot/Torbay , pretty sure the same applies to the likes of Bideford/Tiverton etc.

I remember seeing a documentary recentlyish about Hereford's win over Newcastle in the 1972 FA Cup. Hereford at the time were semi-professional and I was surprised to learn that they had players from London in their side, so geography is not necessarily a limiting factor.

The team are not playing badly because the atmosphere is toxic. The atmosphere is toxic because the team are not performing.

Has his loan period expired?

In their recent posts both skillsy and brewers boy have indicated that they have no problem with the club going part time. I feel that would be more detrimental to our identity than moving to a new stadium. This club in its current form was founded in 1921 to be a full time professional outfit and regressing to part time would in my mind mean we have given up.

Game no longer segregated and tickets will be in sale on the night. Sounds like we didn't shift many.

And Edginswell is bang next to Kingkerswell, I think that is what Culmstock's is referring to. Others have also mused about land in Newton Abbot next to the Brunel industrial estate.

In his post match interview Johnson says the club is as much his as it is the fans because he's been hear a long time.
Christ he's been a paid employee for five years, there are fans in attendances who can recall the O'Farrell era. Where does the man's arrogance end and his humility begin.

As you quite rightly point out, they are - although bottom of the league, a tricky team to beat - having only lost two more games than they've drawn!

Typical Johnson apologist, talk up the opposition to deflect from our shortcomings. Yes I was there and it was a poor performance.

Fantastic 1-0 win against the worst team in the league in front of sub 2k crowd.
In Gary we trust.

Would be interested to read it but it's behind a pay wall.

I think we can safely say that as long as Torquay United AFC (1921) continues to exist there isn't going to be a Phoenix club, so there is no need to think about it now.
The next instalment in this saga will come when CO decides to relinquish the club until then there is nothing the fans or the TUST can do but hope.
