Torquay United Fans Forum

I've been watching your progress these last few months... what's changed? Has he used his contacts to bring in good young loan players?

Anyway I am delighted you're on the way back and hope - and think - you'll do when next season too.

What about off pitch issues? What's the situation there now.

Sorry to post about this again and Danny Cowley in particular. But this is a prime example of the person he is.

He was on the Channel 5 programme tonight...


Colin Murray: 'So basically what you're saying is if any club come calling including Barcelona.. You're not interested?' DC: 'Correct'

What a guy!

It just takes vision, dedication and persistence. Three things that are not on the agenda here currently but must be addressed to go forward. As another poster said we can build a fan base where the results are secondary - right now we rely on results and try nothing else and of course it is failing.

He comes from a teaching background, as does his brother Nicky. That certainly helps. But it's the willingness to work their nads off.

I also like Lincoln and applaud the development that you have achieved.
However, the way we were treated by supposed Lincoln "fans" when we visited on Good Friday last season, was totally unacceptable with their behaviour and abuse to certain fans of TUFC. Most of the said "fans" were situated behind/above us in the stand behind the glass windows...

In the exec boxes? Probably a few too many shandies! Sadly we do get a few idiots, like most clubs. Probably more now because a lot of fans don't get it - they weren't around when we were scrambling for points to avoid relegation to step six in front of 2,000 thoroughly miserable people

Lincoln fan here. I often have a look on this forum out if general interest and because you are a former league team and a club I have always had a lot of time for.

Just 18 months ago LCFC had a near 400k bank overdraft with the Co Op which they wanted back. Not only that there was a real danger we would lose all our banking facilities. Things started to change for us when an overseas investor got ob board. We're not talking big money but without him we wouldn't have got Danny and Nicky.

Those two are someting else. The community work. The way they can engage with absolutely everyone. They are tireless. I'm sure they have visited every school within 30 miles of Lincoln at least once.

This was Wednesday morning after the Chelsea game...

The transformation is down to them. Yes of course results and the cup runs have helped, but they are absolute diamonds. Irreplaceable when they finally move on to better and bigger things.
