With the win over Taunton confirming United’s place in National League South for 2024/25, the Club would like to give supporters an update on the progress going on behind the scenes.
Taunton
Firstly, everyone at Plainmoor would like to pay tribute to every supporter that made the trip to Taunton on Tuesday night, for what was one of the most important matches in United’s 125 year history.
The sheer number, and noise generated by the Yellow Army was a huge boost to the players and staff, and undoubtedly played a large part in the side’s success on the evening.
Not for the first time, when the odds were stacked against them, you came to your team’s aid, and are truly grateful for the wonderful support our whole fanbase has shown towards the Club during the past nine months.
Thank you.
Havant & Waterlooville & Beyond
For the time being, it is very much business as usual, with the Club continuing to rely on any income it can generate – primarily from matchdays. With only one game remaining against Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday, we therefore hope as many supporters as possible will join us for what promises to be a very special atmosphere, as we can all enjoy each other’s company for one final time this season, before looking ahead hopefully to better times on the horizon next term.
We cannot emphasise enough that over the next few weeks, all revenue generated remains vitally important – and hugely appreciated – as the Club continues to function during the close season. With our exciting under-18 side heading for Plainmoor’s hallowed turf next weekend for their League Cup Final, we hope that many of you will come along and support the next generation of Gulls stars, as they go in search of an unprecedented triple ‘double’!
Looking Ahead
No-one at Plainmoor can pretend that 2023/24 has gone how we would have wanted or planned, and amid the celebrations and relief shown in Somerset was the determination that this night will go on to serve as a springboard for future success.
Although securing our status in the division was an achievement in itself, given the setbacks and uncertainty of the past three months, Torquay United AFC is a Club that continues to aspire to play its football much higher up the footballing ladder, and with you, the supporters, firmly behind us, we will continue to strive towards the success we all crave. No supporters throughout the land deserve it more.
Last week, the Club announced that a preferred bidder to take over the club had been identified, and we are pleased to inform supporters that discussions are continuing regarding concluding the sale. As soon as we are able to provide a further update regarding the purchasing process, we will, of course, update our supporters accordingly.
In the meantime, we thank you for your continued support & patience, and most of all, for standing with us.
There’s every reason to be optimistic about the future.
