Good for the community at 360 quid an hour to hire out good for the Club.
Sold out every Saturday and Sunday for 8 hours says how much money we earn??
Sold out 2 midweek nights.
Do the Maths see how much money we could make but no stay at Plainmoor etc etc.
So why did the latest plans presented to the council by the club last month show no surrounding pitches but plenty of housing and commercial development?

There is no land in Torbay for such pitches unless it's Clennon Valley or us moving to Newton Abbot.TorquayUnited wrote: ↑14 Feb 2024, 15:43 How càn they afford the 250 grand needed?? Why you think we need a new ground with 3g pitches built around the main ground.

They even play Rugby on 3G now. They have improved. (Hartbury college held the regional U18 county championship rounds. 4 games each Sunday. No issues at all)TommyGunn wrote: ↑14 Feb 2024, 11:49 I remember seeing Young boys play Man city in the champions league on plastic earlier this season. It seemed to play really well and if it's good enough for the champions league it should be good enough for league 2.
But maybe this sort of pitch costs a lot more? Or was it a hybrid pitch as you mentioned? I have never heard of hybrid before? Just shows how out of touch I am.
