CO is confusing me!

When CO took control of TUFC, he openly admitted that he knew nothing about football and so we all knew his motive for buying the club was not football related. Yes he acquired Torquay United; no he did not and didn't have to buy it! He didn't have to; it was surrendered to him because those who ha...

Harrop Has Left The Building

I think truth be told; his role had evolved to not only exclude anything to do with the playing side of the game but also to take on the extra admin made necessary through the departure of the Club secretary and he has procured something else in that field that he wishes to work in.

Elections May 2019

I agree with the sentiment that the need to leave Plainmoor isn't massive at the moment. That being said, I do also think it is wrong to instantly shoot down any stadium plan - I think it has been well documented within the Torquay fanbase of CO's inability to deliver on promises before and is some...

oldcommsboy is right; Osborne needs to make the club viable as he can then offload it as a capital venture attractive enough for anyone willing to take it off his hands if he does not realise the development project he envisages.

Harrop Has Left The Building

I'm not questioning anybody elses opinion here, merely stating that the Geoff I knew was a lovely, sensitive and hard working guy who was extremely well regarded in youth football at his previous clubs (Yeovil and Peterborough), and who did several young TUFC players justice by finding them moves t...

Ian Twitchin

It's ten months since the passing of a United legend what have the Club done about it? The news today of the naming of the new grandstand at Exeter City after Adam Stansfield prompts me to ask ~ 'what's happening to the general desire to name a Plainmoor stand after Ian Twitchin? Don't fob him off ...

Wealdstone V Torquay United

Gordon's no idiot; he's a nice little guy who had a struggle through life due to his hormone growth deficiency and (as he says) owed a great debt to Great Ormond Street Hospital and had a chance to repay that debt as he saw it. I'd heard it all got too much for him and had been told he had gone out ...

re: Ms Chamberlain's post. What does 'meh' mean? (I am 76). I'm 66 and I used to hear that sound emananating from Newton Abbot livestock market when I was a kid...

The appraisal is now done

I would like to see Nicholson have another chance in some aspect of football purely because he is such a nice bloke That's not a reason to put him in charge of something he he is patently not qualified to do competently ~ has he got another job? No! ~ and if you did then you are as daft as the last...

FA Cup 3RQ Brightlingsea Regent v TUFC 6/10/18

I'm sure merse will re-evaluate, but at best with everybody paying £10 entry, that's only generated £4700... Well everybody didn't did they; I paid £6 and £1 for my son and there were plenty of other concessionary aged fans there ~ you can knock a couple of grand off that I'm sure and the Brightlin...

FA Cup 3RQ Brightlingsea Regent v TUFC 6/10/18

That's because in any Football Association match where the receipts have to be shared; no free admission is allowed and therefore the £1 for U12s is a token charge. Admission prices need to be agreed mutually between the competing clubs and it is not unknown for higher charging visitors to insist o...
