On a serious note ...

How times have changed. I may be 200 miles away but this is really hurting. Since day one of the changes when club officials, staff and players all departed through one reason and another the new owners have been unable to stabilise a rocky ship and set foundations for the future. We are now in a serious place where some believe the club could even go out of business. This is a crucial time for all and time to pull together in support of the club. The management situation has been very unsettling and is still affecting the feel around WP and IMO the owners need to address this asap. No one is going to want to come to the club at this time but we are still not even at the Christmas period.

Can we change the mood, can we change the situation? Any ideas on initiatives?

1986/7 Trailing 2-1 to Crewe with only minutes remaining of their final game, Torquay were heading out of the Football League and – according to their chairman – into “financial oblivion”.

At that point, fate intervened in the most unexpected of ways, when a police dog named Bryn ripped a chunk of flesh out of Jim McNichol’s thigh – for which the Torquay defender required 17 stitches.

The game was held up for four minutes, “but it gave my team-mates time to regroup and reorganise themselves,” explained McNichol. With the referee about to blow his whistle, Torquay equalised – in the fourth minute of injury time – and saved themselves. McNichol missed the post-match party “because I was having tetanus checks,” but he was later reunited with Bryn for some nauseating press pics.
