So it turns out that requests by the Trust to speak with the owner have been blocked by the club, not even passed on. If anything summed up the toxic mess that is Torquay United...

And three players out ill?! Give me a f@cking break.

Yes, beautiful day here in North Cornwall but too cannot summon up the willpower to do the 150 mile round trip from Bude. I just know I would end up driving back depressed. Good luck anyway what's left of the club.

The Trust have a mandate to try work with the owner whereas i believe wholeheartedly that this just isn't possible and they are flogging a dead horse when energies would be better spent fighting them. I fully understand why they want to work with Osborne so i'm not being critical but i think they have to accept that he simply isn't interested in them, the fans or the club and so it's a futile exercise.

Osborne will communicate and co-operate only when it's to his advantage IMO and therefore of no benefit to the fans or the club.

Chances coming our way, on top, but no goals. We all know how this goes...

EDIT: Seems Barrow have had a goal disallowed, pages just put them 1-0 up but then corrected to 0-0. Woking now 1-0 down, however.

UPDATE: Barrow now losing 1-0!

I thought Rhees Healey was suspended for getting sent off?

One game only.
Same old story here, huff and puff with no end result

Just a thought. but what would the chances be of the club going into administration now? could the owner do it? would there be any advantage to him? we are down anyway so a points deduction is of no consequence. but it would get rid of a large debt to Thea. and he could walk away laughing.

1-0 TORQUAY!!! Jamie Reid!

Attendance: 1,567.

We’re winning, Woking and Barrow both losing. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I just can’t help it....

Halifax now down to ten. It's still hard to imagine Barrow not beating Guiseley on Tuesday, I have to say, but the faint sliver of hope remains.

Or Chester on the last day.
It is possible that we could go into the last day needing to win and hope both Woking & Barrow lose. As Barrow play Chester on the last day that's very unlikely.

Full time. The door still ajar.

Thea wrote off all the money she put in, so wouldn't make any difference.

Thought we were on top first half but there was no excitement second half it showed that it meant everything to the players to win McGinty was shouting at the bench players gave their all. In the end we got what we deserved but perhaps it should have been by more than 1 goal.

Am I right in saying if Barrow & Woking win Tuesday were officially relegated?
