Torquay United Fans Forum

If the council ever decided to sell Plainmoor there would be a massive objection from the residents of Torquay, not to mention Gulls fans. They would be forced to back down from that decision. I think the fans objections alone would probably be sufficient to change their minds. I believe there is so...

One of the most effective ways of making money, with extra benefit, is if yesterday's gate of over 3600 is repeated at every home game from now until the end of the season. There is also the extra money that is spent at the stadium. This would be a great encouragement for the players and Aaron Downe...

It sounds as though some Torquay fans will expect any new manager to get instant success. In other words promotion in the first season. If he doesn't achieve that, he will be subjected to the same treatment that Johnson is getting now. Fans won't wait for him to recruit all those players who are goi...

To all those who are constantly carping on that Johnson should go, need to realise that getting a new manager in will not necessarily result in automatic success. The latest in a long line of these to prove that it doesn't happen that way is Wayne Rooney and Birmingham City. United fans want to be c...

If the club leaves Torquay it will be diminished. If it leaves Torbay it will be finished. Yes the club may make more money, with all the promised avenues of revenue that will be available, it may even be sustainable, but the football side will be the poorer for it. Torquay United will not be the ma...

Some fans think Plainmoor is bad for parking. So you think the Gallows Gate area would be better? We could all park along the ring road, it's wide enough. Get real. On the question of buses from Preston, it would be better to get a No 22 which would take you St Marychurch - an easy walk from there. ...

By 'community based club' I meant it is situated right in the middle of a community - adjacent and convenient to its fans. I don't think there are that many fans who travel from places like Reading, that would make a difference to the size of the Plainmoor gate. The club has to consider that the maj...

Plainmoor is a community based club - close to amenities, on a bus route, has plenty of on road parking, set in the midst of its fans. A move away to some characterless stadium would be a disaster. There is no flat land anywhere near, either on the ring road, or in Teignbridge, (would all our fans t...

Don't write us off yet for the title. You don't have to look at the Premiership for an example of a runaway club losing it in the end. It was only a couple of seasons ago that Torquay were twelve points ahead in Feb / March and we still missed out on automatic promotion. It's a long way to go to the...

I've only seen the highlights, but I must agree with Desperado that if Havant could finish properly then we would have lost about 6-2. However, given the fact that our team is so diminished, and lacking a lot of key players, we have to be thankful for this win. Good to see the new boys doing so well...

When Stobbs is attacking down the right wing his centres usually reach the far post or are even well beyond it. If Ash or someone could position themselves just beyond the back post or thereabouts they would get a stack of goals. Now that Jarvis is out for a while, perhaps Stobbs ought to try and se...

In the light of the seriousness of the injury list, and the loss of so many of our key players just now, I think we all ought to forget our criticisms of the club, the manager, the shortcomings of the team and individual players, and get right behind our team and support them to the hilt. If the fan...

If the budget has been used up for this season, what could a new manager do if there is no money to spend on new players. He would just be recycling the current squad, to very limited effect.

Leaving Plainmoor could be disastrous for supporters. It would be very tight at the Recreation ground with zero parking. I can't see the planning department allowing it. Imagine the chaos at the end of a match as people left the stadium onto those main roads. If we got anywhere above League One ther...

Anyone know what the gate was at Wimbourne. It looked like a full house on the highlights.
