Torquay United Fans Forum

Hi All,

Firstly I am a Blackpool Fan, not FTFC but here's how I saw FTFC the other night V Forest.

FTFC were the better team in the first half by far but they lacked any real threat on the Forest goal even wth Ball and Parkin. I do think that these two will get LOADS of goals this season. Parkin was a presence but was f..k.. last 25 minutes. Ball was quick, didn't have a great game but you can tell he will do well working with Parkin.. The full backs pushed on a great deal, particularly Beeley? at Right back he's quick too.
They were quick and neat in midfield and played some lovely stuff first half. Back four were comfortable on the ball but can't help think that Bentley? their captain and centre half will get caught for pace if you have a quick C/F. Thats if he lets him gets past him as he is built like Parkin!
Second half Forest could have had a few more and 3-0 would probably have been a better reflection on the game.
If you are making the trip up have a safe journey and enjoy your day. Jim's Bar is worth a visit which is at the Memorial Stand end of the ground. Open to both fans, TV's galore in there, lots of stewards so nice n safe.

Hi again Andy, Thanks for this, I have also sent you a private message.
Best Regards Dave

Hi All, Thanks to everyone who has contacted me direct and I am posting badges today 1st class. If anyone is making the trip up on Saturday I will be selling the badges around the "Jim's Bar" area. It's a bar in the Memorial Stand which is open to home and away supporters. Enjoy your trip and All The Best to everyone at TUFC. Have a Good Season. Dave

Seaside has emailed Andrew Candy as I feel it would be a good idea if the Members Club had a well produced Enamel Badge at a reasonable price.

Portugull ,Andy says he is too busy right now. Shame as it would have been a good way of raising a few quid for the club. Also it would have been me doing all the work for him with design etc.

At Pool a few supporters clubs have them made each year to raise funds for travelling etc etc.

Anyway if anyone wants any badges doing please let me know.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Ferrarilover. I'm not sure where I will be at the Fleetwood Game yet. Probably nip into the Strawberry Gardens Pub for a bit. With a bit of luck I won't have many left by the time of the game. If you require any saving just let me know and I will put to one side. I can then meet up if you like on the day. Cheers Dave

Hi Portugull, Very sorry not to have replied but I didn't receive a notification and have also been away for two weeks. I make really decent enamel badges and DO NOT rip people off. Its my hobby.

The badges for the TUFC v Fleetwood Town game arrived today. My e-mail is [email protected] if you, or anyone else who is interested in these can send me a PM, I will send scans of the badges for you to see. They have turned out really nice. 100 in total, 4 colourways, 25 of each badge.

Not sure how to post the picture son her, if in fact you can.

Cheers and all the best to TUFC for the new season.

happytorq you would not be the first, it's been tried at other clubs!! Without success though.

Gloucester I've sent a PM
Cheers

Hi All, I've been doing a bit of research and TORQUAY UNITED have unbelievably got NOTHING AT ALL trademarked registered. Not even the name TORQUAY UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB. It's worth your club doing this. Only trying to help.
All The Best to you All.

Yep, traders licence. Some things are trademarked too so cannot use these. Not as straight forward as some people think.

Hi All,

Just a post as I have ordered some badges for the Fleetwood Town V Torquay United game on 18th August 2012 and thought one or two maybe interested.
It's Fleetwood's first ever game in the Football League and I have decided to do some enamel badges to mark the game.

There are four colourway badges in the set. I have made 100 badges in total so each badge I have done 25 of. They are due here end of July. I have already had pre orders for 10 sets (40 badges) so that leaves 15 sets left which if I can sell before the game all well and good. If not I'll sell around the ground on the day.

I have been issuing badges for a few years now and always make good quality enamel badges, unlike some producers. These will be 35 mms in width so quite a large badge.

2 have Torquay's colours on and 2 have just the Red and White of Fleetwood Town. Badges are £2.50, I don't rip people off and can guarantee they will be nice badges. Postage will be £1 as I have to post out Large Class Postage, but also post in a bubble wrap envelope. I do not normally do four colours either, just 2 per game, but thought this was a special game for FTFC.

Anyway, if anyone is interested or knows of any badge collectors at TUFC please get in touch with me.

Good Luck to all at TUFC

All The Best

Dave

PS I will check for replies on here later, be gentle with me I come in peace!!!
