Torquay United Fans Forum

Gargs confirmed for Tuesday July 18th at Plainmoor-useful boost to coffers pre-season.

Darlington's ground was ruled not up to the standard required in National League,the same as Poole and Hungerford.

Not hard to predict the rest- 3 or 4 from either the Gargs,Greeks,Bath,Truro,Buckland,Stoke Gabriel and Watcombe Wanderers.

UKIP humiliated in local elections and Le Pen heavily defeated in French Presidential elections-what a great week.

I can see no reason why the season ticket prices can't be announced it's not as if Osborne has to wait until the Board meets to agree such decisions,given that we still don't have one.

You can go on the Talksport website and replay it.

It was on yesterday on the Hawksbee and Jacobs show,just after the 2-30pm news.

Couldn't present themselves properly from day-one? Difficult when you've got the track record GI have regarding Stadium development/non-development.Osborne never addresses his past record of not delivering and the damage they've caused to a number of other sports clubs ,which is the underlining reason for such mistrust as far as his ownership of TUFC is concerned.

Another feature tonight with the great Robin Stubbs being interviewed.

Would have gone but for a work commitment.Instead will listen to radio and avoid going into town as 5,000 Young Farmers invade the Bay for their Annual Convention/Piss-up.

To be pedantic its not even the freehold that's being discussed in July but the leasehold.

He's been kept fully abreast of the situation by TUST.

Better to persuade all the Parliamentary candidates to make the future of Torquay United a local issue and get them to publicly support Council retention of the lease and the need for GI to invest in the club,engage properly with supporters/the community,be more transparent,etc,etc.
Kevin Foster is supportive but Adrian Sanders isn't standing though will be heavily involved in the Lib Dem campaign,so will no doubt fully brief their candidate on the issues. Maybe Julien Parrott will be standing for UKIP too? Members of the Labour campaign team such as Darren Cowell,know the issues and will be supportive,I'm sure the Greens will too.Ignore any racist candidates from the BNP or the like if they stand,but lets try and get it in the local manifestos of all the other main parties.

How can a deal be done if it's subject to the democratic process? That would infer that the Mayor is going to take the decision alone and not refer to full council;highly unlikely in my opinion.There will de a decision in July but at the moment my bet would be on the Council retaining the freehold,with GI told to come back when they've got some proper proposals for a new ground,or with plans to develop Plainmoor and it's facilities whilst remaining as leaseholders.

Shames the local rag somewhat doesn't it?
