Torquay United Fans Forum

The silence about the outcome of all of this is deafening. Just bloody tell us! Checking back on here and all over the bloody internet every 5 minutes is bloody stressful. It's bad enough being a Torquay fan right now without all this 'who is it?' malarky. Football is supposed to be enjoyable (for ...

I’ve heard that there are three firm bids. It looks increasingly likely that TUST is not the preferred bid. From what you’re saying Owlgull, it sounds like the Hayman bid is not the preferred bid either. This means that if there are three firm bids, this mystery third bid, who no one knows and no o...

Not now we are in administration.
They call the shots and will take the best bid/best offer.

Nobody cares about Jarvis he spends more time injured on current form and goals scored AJB will overtake him on goals scored by the season end. Spot the difference one is a full back on loan with passion and the other is a Marquis signing ! 🤔 de Sade? :rofl: Only one I know.... :whistle: :oops:

Thanks but the one who truelly deserves a medal is Paul Bastard. He has been attending all the games for years. When I pointed him out to my boy, at one particularly dreadful game, and explained he had been attending all games for eons, my boy stated " no wonder he's known as poor bastard"...

Yes it was blatantly obvious but without his £5m gamble and 5 year plan it was even more blatantly obvious that TUFC would go into administration 5 years earlier: if you thought about it, even you and UnitedinDevon should be able to realise that. I am no apologist for Osborne but what you don't see...

What's the point in going over the past, Osbourne has gone and yet we're still arguing about him. Whatever the reasons, and there are plenty, we've finally reached the point where we stand on the abyss. This has been on the cards for years, probably decades, the Bristows bankrolled us, Osbourne has...

That is irrelevant and a facile comment. Whatever Osbourne's motive was for loaning money and taking ownership rather than forcing administration, it does not negate the fact that the Football Club has continued to operate for a further five years or more. Hitler wasn't a very nice man who invaded ...

Presumably you split hairs as a profession. The point that you seem to miss is that Osbourne acquired the club - a defaulted loan is even worse than a purchase as the Club was obviously bust at the time. He could have gone into administration at any time so every game that Torquay have played since...

2-1 TUFC.

Meanwhile in Swindon… GI have formally requested a change to their planning permissions to remove the requirement to build a stadium as part of the agreement to build houses on the Speedway site. Just in case anyone on here was still of the view that Osborne was a positive force in Torbay. https://...

Why would we be?

2-1 TUFC.

Well, that didn't work really did it?

Jude-Boyd - brilliant performance and a screamer of a goal. Moxey - how many times off the line?? Kept us in it. Halstead - Crucial save at 2-2 and a couple of others - couldn't do much with the goals - see another poster said he should have done better with the 1st, but he had his angles right and ...
