Great page[edit]

Thank you anyone who has contributed to this page, it looks great.

No problems, I live in Torquay and support United so it was more of a little project giving them a wiki they deserved rather than the good but very basic and bare one that already existed. I've also updated the squad list today with a few new players and confirmed squad numbers, added a notable fans section (not that theres many) and inserted a little bit about Waddle's brief stay at the club.

Restructuring[edit]

I'm planning to do a fairly major restructuring job on this article in the near future. Apart from clearing up grammatical, spelling and style errors, I think it would be a good idea to move the bulk of the history section to a separate article. Any thoughts anyone?

I'd be interested to know what the club badge is all about, it's quite unusual. Dancarney 14:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've slapped the 'neutrality' box on here as - although as an Aston Villa fan I know how frustrating a self-serving chairman can be - it's not sufficiently neutral and encyclopaedic IMV Martyn Smith 20:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname - Torque??[edit]

Where does the Torque nickname come from? Never heard it before! Jaded1 07:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone else depressed?[edit]

Should we add something like "the club is currently trying to set a record for most league games without a win"? It looks like that's all the club is going to achieve this year. Slizor 14:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not depressed, just accepting the inevitable. Where's Stevenage when you need them? Totnesmartin 13:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leroy Rosenior[edit]

His article says he played for Sierra Leone as an adult. Should we put this country's flag in the managers table? Totnesmartin 23:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kick off time[edit]

I'm sure I'm remembering this correctly but in the 1970s at least they used to kick off their home games at 7:30 pm on Saturdays. The advantage of this was that their result would always be read out on Match of the Day that evening. That way Torquay got more coverage than most other 4th division clubs. In 1978 a few us were camping in the Devon area and decided to go to a home game on the Saturday against Newport County. Torquay won 2-0. And the result was announced on MOTD later that night. Great days.

Torquay United Association Football Club[edit]

The official name of this club is Torquay AFC. Take a look at the bottom of any of the pages on their website? For instance, http://www.torquayunited.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Home/0,,10445,00.html. Quite clearly it says Torquay AFC at the bottom of EVERY PAGE! jkm 16:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I personally wouldn't trust anything on that particular website! WikiGull 11:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Torquay United F.C./Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

B - Covers all the areas, but uses too many lists and one or two lined paragraphs. The history section is too big. Please make the article, History of Torquary United F.C. and copy and paste it all there. Then start removing some of the information that isn't needed from this article.
