It's been muted many times in the past.dint forget it has only been I recent years that conference clubs have had to prove their ground was up to league standard.wont surprise me if championship becomes premiership 2 with invited clubs and no promotion and relegation So you've basically made something up to suit your agenda, why not be honest and admit this hasn't been mentioned for years and there's zero talk at present about the Championship becoming the Premiership 2. Not at all it was brought up at a meeting of several leading championship owners at a private meeting in the last 4 months.it was leaked by several news?papers at the time.the financial gain for those involved in a premiership 2 is enormous and won't go away.after all lots of people like you were saying it won't happen when the premiership was first floated as an idea by a few leading clubs and we know what happened there. Just be careful of all that sand you get in your eyes from burying your head in it |

Incidentally have you posted anything about the club since your return to Gaschat? |

They just want a bigger share of the TV money and to be able to have their own TV deal. |

If there were a breakaway Super League, they should be excluded from Champions League, Europa League, all domestic cups and every player should be left out of their relevant Countries World Cup squads. Money grabbing sh1ts. |

Like us and many other Clubs hoping they can afford to turn the lights on. And there's Haaland on £850k a week. Makes me sick. |

I'm just shocked how nice and neat Torquay Utd's Stadium looks. Just a shame we could not also have a stand than runs the whole length of the pitch....even 2 would be nice!

Most grounds look ,'Nice and Neat'.Our tents and Dickensian stands look so untidy compared to almost everyone else's set up but our situation seems to just go on and on.What would happen if we got promoted and we were told you have two seasons to go All Seater?
Recall a game under Mc Ghee I think,where were were struggling at the foot of League 2 and in a dire match at the Mem ,Torquay had a young winger on loan from Spurs who was head and shoulders above any other player on view that day and beat us.Think though they were relegated to the Conference with us, narrowly missed getting back last season but really struggling this time along with Scunthorpe,Oldham and Yeovil.
Ian Holloway interviewed at HT.Never lost his accent.
NB.Shown Robin Subbs.81 now.Liked him.

That's the main reason that the European super league was blocked. Because they didn't want promotion and relegation. I can see them wanting to go under the Premier league umbrella, but I don't think they will stop promotion and relegation. |

When Wael was presented as the new owner, he said that funding would not be an issue and, as an investment banker i am sure that he would be able to sort the funding but, having now said that, we were in different times and not facing possibly the longest recession in a century. The deal with UWE came to a grinding halt as it seems that they had a much bigger split of any profits plus car park and so it was not a good deal for the club. Lord knows what is going on but i do not understand why we would sell the mem only to rent, that is IF the FM is still on. My own gut feel is that it isn’t but , as always, i could be wrong. It is a totally different scenario to when the Al Qadi family took over and even more so now Wael is the sole owner. |

It is a totally different scenario to when the Al Qadi family took over and even more so now Wael is the sole owner. There’s no way the club would sell the Mem and move into a rented stadium with no long term protection. A very long term leasehold would be the most obvious route, not too different than someone buying a flat with a long leasehold compared to buying a house with a freehold. Being the optimist I think the FM is still a possibility until such time as it’s confirmed otherwise. The club are very guarded with sharing information but if it is totally dead in the water there will be no point in them keeping quiet. The council, the developers or planners will indicate whether a stadium is still part of the overall development of the area. |
