Fixtures 2017/18 for your calendar

I couldn't see a Google Calendar for the Torquay fixtures this season so I have created it myself. You can add it to your calendar by opening the below link:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/em ... ope/London

Alternatively, if you use Outlook or another calendar (might work with an iPhone?) then you can use this:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ic ... /basic.ics

I've added ground addresses and will keep it as up-to-date as I can.

Enjoy!

New shirt Sponsor

Would like to have Bays Brewery sponsor us... 420 Skatestore was the least embarrassing thing to be emblazoned across our shirts for a few years.

Atmosphere on matchday

Well that escalated quickly!

Personally I used to think one of the best things about the UK was multi-culturalism and our welcoming nature. I hope those days return and we can all look at people who have arrived from further ashore with affection while we enjoy our freedom of movement to the far-flung glories our planet has to offer once more.

....While I dream on, you'll hear my big mouth on the terraces for years to come. We're on a low right now but I've definitely heard it quieter at Plainmoor. I think the fans have done well to be so patient.

Can we raise £400,000. Yes or No?

Lets face it, the club isn't worth anything to anyone other than the fans. Investors will pay for a profit-making venture, all the others go for a pound. A piece of land is worth something to a property developer (GI), the football enthusiasts (unless very rich) won't pay at all.
If the fans buy it then there is no way someone will outbid us unless the council give the go-ahead to sell Plainmoor. Don't get too excited about the 'detached house' quote. Something is only worth what someone will pay for it.

TUST Not An Option

It really isn't hard to imagine matching Newport or Bath's share issue scheme. I'd definitely chuck in over £100 ... how much more would be determined by my financial controller you understand. :slap:

TUST Not An Option

The club are up to its neck and the only firm offer with no strings attached is the TUST offer.... and it has been refused over and over.
I despair.

Dave Phillips: What are the other offers? We are about to go down the pan so what is there to lose? Why hide behind this stupid smoke screen anymore? So far it's got us in debt and taken all of our assets away. The vultures are lurking and we're told to plod on and mind our own business... well it is OUR business. If we don't turn up to the next home game, you will know that very well.

Berry back but theres no money to sign him!

Is there any access to the Players Fund accounts? If I was in a situation to give a wad of cash to it (which, unfortunately, I'm not) I would, at the very least, like to see the numbers.
Our club is incredibly opaque considering when this gang took over they harked on about how transparent they would be.
In contrast, if you're a member of TUST, they tell you the balance of the funds every month. I find this somewhat more palatable.

I don't disagree with having a players fund by the way but it looks like a bit of a black-hole to me.
