Don't think that we have any problems with Argyle doing well, look at the great players that we have signed from them over the years, surely it would be in Tqys interest if Plymouth were prem. league, we would be able to loan some good kids from them. It would not hurt for Devon to have a side in the prem. & lets face it , Tqy & Exeter will never get there.yellowsmiffy wrote: That's not true at all!!! I live very near Plymouth and all my mates are Argyle fans. In our promotion season in 03/04 etc Home Park cheered the news of our promotion, and they often give a little 'waheey' at half time when Torquay are winning and the scores are being read out. Of course if we end up both in league 2 next season, a strong rivalry will be held between the clubs, but Exeter are the ones both clubs dislike with a passion!!
City like to claim that their only derby is Plymouth, but I think we all know after some of the derbys they secretly hate us too. As soon as Tisdale leaves they will be back in league 2 with us sooner or later, and maybe even Plymouth! Now that would be some season!
Would not be a bit surprised if T.T. did not get the better of us we should never have got rid of him, far more class than Super (poor & ineffective) Nicky Wroe. Adam Murray could also be a problem.Jeff wrote:Not a great draw - I think the Stags fan above has it right in saying it isn't really either teams perfect choice!
Mansfield will definately be thinking they can win this, and rightly so as they have some names in their squad which ring a bell (Keigan Parker, Rob Duffy, Adam Murray, TT, Alan Marriott to name but a few). I have to be honest though, they've slipped a little off the radar in their time in the conference and although I'd heard of all the above players, apart from the obvious two I can't really say I've seen much of any members of their squad to gauge how strong they really are.
On the plus side its a game I can go to, and a new ground for me to tick off. I just hope for me its not a fruitless journey!
Yes, but he may have been offered a new contract on less money due to present lack of funds. Tqy. could have tried to tempt him with less money, but security. He appears to have rejected the new contract so it would seem that it is not as good as his existing one.Fletch wrote: Wodge - it seems pretty well covered that NW turned down a new contract. Is it in the interest of the club the he stays till summer and leaves for free, or should we try and get a fee for him in the January window?
Don't think that Torquay would want to loan him out to a team in the same div.Jeff wrote:I'd be staggered if Wroe dropped back to the BSP. Form is temporary, class is permanent. If personal circumstance (which could be resolved by him moving back North) is what is holding him back - and clubs know this - I'd expect to see him at a League 2 rival at the very least.
Would you want him in your L2 side on his current form? I think not! Would not be amazed if he is loaned out for remainder of the season, possibly to B.S.P or Conference North or South team.SuperNickyWroe wrote: are you having a laugh??
i dont mind opinions, but im sorry mate i disagree.
he is league 2 standard at least on any day of the week.
I.M.O. he will never be better than a decent Conference player, he has scored the occasional "wonder goal" & up to lately was a good penalty specialist. I don't blame P.B. for not getting rid of him for a good fee when there was interest expressed at the start of last season, he was worth keeping to see if he could make the "step up".Yellow4life wrote:He's a league 1 player when he's at his best IMO. I'm expecting over 100k for him of which will give a good return to the club. He has struggled of late but good luck to him.

He might even give SNW a run for his money in midfield!
Last season Bradfords 10,000 + crowds were nearly all season ticket holders at less than £6.00 per game!Modgull wrote:Memo to all so-called, ex and potential supporters (I reckon Brucie falls into all three categories!):
This has been coming for a long time. I have gone on record before about the consequences of lack of support for the Club and unsustainable pricing policies such as last year's season ticket deal. The fact is:
*We are a small club who can't offer transfer fees or big wages
*We therefore have to rely on young, unproven talent or older, experienced players in the autumn of their careers
*Unless we can get more (not less, Brucie!) through the turnstiles there will be no loanees coming in or quality signings in the January window
*Withdrawing our support - and therefore our money - will not improve things
*Continuing our commitment, attending matches (pay attention Brucie!) and encouraging others to attend - perhaps offering lifts and trying to emphasise the positive aspects of supporting a small, friendly and unfashionable club - has more chance of bringing about the outcome we all desire - a winning team!
Money isn't everything - look at Bradford City and the mess they are in with close to 10,000 crowds - and we all need to do a bit more to make a difference and get through this current problem. Walk away from it and TUFC will find itself in the BSP or worse.
