Never going to be an easy one this. Damage limitation. Get all subs on NOW you Muppet!

Would imagine the sum total of zero. However, in some cases a nominal sign-on fee to assist with relocation etc would be the best of it.

Can see this being pumped back into the club for for future investment / loan budget.

Rainbow Gulls - Big Ron would be proud !

Sure da paddies love notin more than a plate of PO Tatoes !

Could Quinn be a potential backup for Nicholson ?

Pink stinks

Perhaps Ling could adopt a similar approach for players that are underperforming in the first team. Big Mick McCarthy employed a "I had a Macedonia" yellow bib approach when the ROI failed to qualify for the Euro's a few years back. Sports psychology, team bonding, call it what you want - all a bit strange if ya ask me.

Definitely top 8 finish.

Has anyone seen these kids play ? Also does Geoff have any promising talent from this bunch does anyone know ?

Atieno appears to have had some ability. However even when you look at the opposition that he's up against here there at 6's and 7's diving in tackles the lot. Won't have that level of freedom at L2 level. What harm giving him a shot though. If He's half decent rolling monthly contract only.

Lets hope the combined sale of Zebs and his salary structure is used to its full potential i.e. reel in some high quality freebies !

Would Leon Knight be worth a punt, if He cycled down from Swindon ?

Phil Ifil any good ?

Saw on another site that Dagenham have release him.

Really needs his assistant in place as of yesterday. More hands light work !!

It's understandable that He's looking at potential targets but to mention a nucleus of 40 does send a shiver down your spine - should have kept that on the QT if it is the case.

Silkmen "should" be guaranteed 3pts.

Would be great to get to the Crawley game on the 20th of August. Realistically it will start on Nov 19th to take in the Plymouth game and will take it from there. If I could have my way a game a month - beggers can't be choosers though !!

Cheers Southampton Gull.

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum but have followed the trials and tribulations of your club with interest (mid-nineties).Indeed it was Gary Nelsons Season Diary of "left foot in the Grave" that converted me to support Torquay Utd. Aside from a few family Holiday trips in the 80's, the support has never strectched further than the TV remote - a bit tricky to get to home games, being based in County Meath, Ireland ! Please forgive me if I'm not a die-hard !

While the family objective is to set-up seasoned Holiday trips, my personal (selfish objective) is to let off a bit of steam and go to a few local games. I'm looking to make my first (hopefully of many) visits to Plainmoor over the coming season and on this basis I'm asking you, the local die-hard fans to tell me why I should visit Plainmoor and the general Torbay region. You may well say, "get in touch with the Tourist board" and yes I will do but for the meantime your valued, local advice and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck for the season ahead - Let's be positive !!

The very same Gary Twigg. Sounds like he was played out of position friendlygas. The legend that is Michael O'Neill (current Shamrock Rovers Manger) brought him with him from Brechin City. Good on the deck and decent head. The Shams are going to win the League of Ireland again this season and alot of this is down to the talents of Twigg. Would be gutted if he ever left us but would be delighted if he went to Torquay.

Reckon He would cost in the region of £80K but you might be able to get him on loan during the League of Ireland off season.
