Torquay United SOS (TUST submit bid to buy TUFC)

[IJN]

The Crowdfunder is for TUST not club affiliated.

Saying that, I'm hanging off arranging anything until we know his moves.

Yeah I know that, I guess what I meant was folk could be hanging back because the little boy has cried wolf, but no wolf has appeared.

If there's no administration there's no fight, ergo no fighting fund required.

They're away to Weymouth today so there's plenty of time to organise a boycott for Dartford on the 9th.

The well intentioned but ultimately self defeating act of giving CO lots of money v Aveley could do with, in my opinion, being backed up with an equal and opposite show of strength... "we can turn up in numbers, we can stay away in numbers, its our club not yours, so go" 👋🏻

Won't happen though, I don't get the sense they are sufficiently engaged/animated enough for that. Worse thing that could happen on the 9th is giving him another payday. But the crowd dropping back to average-ish levels sends out almost as bad a message... apathy.

Torquay should host Taunton and Truro games that would make them some money.

I'm off to see Truro City v Taunton Town shortly in the NL South ... at Gloucester City's New Meadow Park home to NL North football

Bought tickets for the 23rd when we have no game

Sensible to move this to the Football Forum now mods. Any pressing urgency in the situation has long since disapated as it looks increasingly like a little boy (CO) crying wolf.

Caution advised for their game on the 23rd folks. Unless he goes through with his (empty?) threat I for one won't be coming down or buying a 'ghost' ticket. Contribute to the Trust fund instead.

I do wonder whether his threat of administration is in some way trying to pressure the council into doing a deal on planning permission. Very odd that they haven't actually entered administration yet.

Points Deduction Confirmed Torquay United have been deducted ten points from the 2023/24 National League South table, after the club submitted its intention to appoint administrators.

 

[The Pilgrim]

Only 3 points clear of the relegation zone once thats been actioned, relegation would be a disaster for them.

Anyone going Torquay next Saturday during international break?

I'll pop down I think, I do have a soft spot for Plainmoor. Although I don't think I've seen them play there since they were a league side.

When was the last time the Gulls league position was higher than ours? I have a vague memory it was not that long ago, certainly this century.

It would have been 2011/12 where they made the play offs and we just about survived.
Relegated the following season. I remember missing Rochdale’a goal because we were celebrating Torquay going 2-0 down.

 

[Heathrow Green]

Administrators have still not been appointed, unless I've missed something.
