Torquay United Fans Forum

Lets face it, the club isn't worth anything to anyone other than the fans. Investors will pay for a profit-making venture, all the others go for a pound. A piece of land is worth something to a property developer (GI), the football enthusiasts (unless very rich) won't pay at all. If the fans buy it...

Possibly. http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/t ... story.html

To me he sounds like Comical Ali.

Colin Authers is a muppet. He's been trying to open talks with this board since their initial split with the Roberts. I'm amazed they still allow him to spout their names each time he launches a new attack. He doesn't have any financial backing and has been consistently wasting the time of the curr...

So we seem to be none the wiser following the AGM. You seem to have a lot of insider knowledge, care to share? Why has Nicho's remaining budget been taken away? Who has taken it away? Does this mean he no longer has access to the Player Fund? If not then what is happening to all the money being don...

The conspiracy theorist in me says that with no players or coaches on the payroll it will only take a few quid to make the other staff (tea lady etc) redundant and GI have some real estate to sell and make a profit on! ;-) Bye bye Torquay United, hello Wimpy homes estate! They wouldn't be able to d...

Byrne also had connections with Plymouth when Sturrock was first appointed in 2000.

Anything else would represent a massive lack of ambition, which could - in turn - lead to oblivion.

I think they must have got Harrop confused with Dave Byrne, who had previously worked with Sturrock at Swindon.

Boreham Wood average about 300 home fans maybe less! Bloody hell how do these teams compete with attendances like that, must have a wealthy owner. When they played a midweek home game against Lincoln earlier this season, and there were marginally more away fans there than home fans. I think their l...

Oh Forever - please don't list our scorers !!! Top scorers Dan Butler and Andre Wright with TWO apiece !!!! We now have plenty of midfield cover, although I'm sorry Verma is sidelined at present, and so I'm with you that Nicho should leave himself out of the line up and Butler revert to left back. ...

Dazza wrote:Is Allen a defensive or attacking midfielder does anyone know. ?

Not entirely sure, but he did score in a penalty shoot-out on his senior professional debut - so would seem to suggest he has plenty of character.

Ajala is on non-contract terms at Dover, I didn't think you can swap a non-contract player for a contracted player?

I was exposing his ignorance rather than yours.

The issue isn't "osterity measures" (sic) but that the results are not working out on the pitch. The Board have made mistakes (and they are aware of that), but cutting back on certain areas, and removing others altogether, has ensured that the club still exists today. The times of throwin...
