Torquay United Fans Forum

Having had a really sh!t couple of weeks (work-related) it is such a relief to finally get some good news for a change.

Thanks for everything Aaron and good luck wherever you find yourself next. And, welcome, to Paul Wotton, who I'm sure will get a great reception at TQ1.

Please no! No change to the badge. My local team had their badge 'rebranded' recently from a version of the town's coat of arms to a monstrosity that looked like the Starbucks mermaid wearing a skirt and holding a volleyball with a pair of 'crab' hands... and as one supporter spotted it looked like ...

One of, if not the, best left backs I've seen play for Torquay.

Joined us from Doncaster in '88 and went on to play for Birmingham, Everton and West Brom before re-joining to us in '99.

RiP, Paul

Winner of Chatham v Enfield play off will be in NLS next season. I don’t think we’ve ever played Chatham but recall going to Enfield for an FA Cup match when we were 4th division and they were a good non league team. Feel free to quote me if I'm wrong (I usually am!)... but the team we played back ...

As I say just a rumour but I'll be having a glass of wingman ipa tonight in the hope that its true here we go again... more 'rumours'. Don't you just love 'em! Wingman IPA, brucie? .... why not try some Restorative Beverage for Invalids and Convalescents!* *Yes, it's actually a beer and only £4.99 ...

Thanks a bunch, desperado.

Poured some new/fresh petrol into the mower and it wouldn't bloody work! ... so I unravelled the electric cable lead, plugged it in... BOOM!

What a difference it makes to go to Plainmoor (or any away fixture) and actually enjoy 90 minutes of entertainment. No pressure. No stress (well apart from the hour detour at Sparkford which meant we arrived at Plainmoor with 20 mins to spare). Tongue in cheek, I'd predicted 7-0 in the prediction le...

IF. If all the clubs were to stick together and boycott it this year then there is a fair chance that this could be rescinded, or perhaps amended so that if both clubs in a tie could agree beforehand to not replay. There's more chance of me winning the lottery on Saturday, the 50/50 draw at Plainmo...

Dead rubber.

7-0

So, in a nutshell, 700+ clubs have to bend over backwards and lose out on potentially lucrative replays so that the over-paid prima donnas of the PL can have a nice long summer holiday. Cheers FA. What a joke.

Oh, I'm sure there is Culmstock... it was more wishful thinking rather than anything else.

Now that our league safety is secured, I'm sure the club would NOW love to tell us who our new owner(s) is/are.

For the first time in weeks I've actually had a decent nights sleep! ... Yes, Torquay United, that's what you do to us! Was fearing the worst last night even when we went two up... you just knew that it wouldn't be plain sailing... and when they scored the usual text from Jnr came through 'here we g...

After the no-show at Trumpton on Saturday, I very much doubt it!

This is getting tiresome - has there been a proposed / rumoured bidder someone hasn't said ' Oh God we don't want him !' Agree 100%. Whoever it is, be it Brewdog, be it The Range, be it Poundland, we're all going to have something to moan about once they are announced...and that is the crux of it.....
