Torquay United have been relegated to the National South (and will play Poole Town, if they survive).

 

[AlGard]

Poole won today. 2 points from safety, 2 games to go.

Hadnt realized Torquay had fallen that far. Going to be a while til our next Boxing Day match with them

There's an article about them here: The sad demise of Torquay United. And, as is invariably the case with this sort of thing, there are murky property-developer types lurking in the background.

So easily could have been us. Let's hope that Torquay rise again.

Torquay need an Eddie and Jason and a decent owner - such a vibrant place and fair sized catchment area, which deserves at least a Championship club from the three towns. Two derbies with Exeter and Plymouth, Devon has such a potential, always talked up but never realised.

Good thing we have never been owned by murky property developer types

Having spent the first 20 years of my life there, I'd love to see the Urchins make it an AFC double this afternoon.....

Lost 3-1 after leading 1-0 against a team from a lower league.

Was he not an early version of Fraser?

I recall him being too good for us.

 

[afcdibby]

Had the footballer look and that's where it ended.

Well one half of the double worked

I’ve lived in Hornchurch for 12 years and didn’t even know they were playing today.

 

[chillred]

Never mind, I'm sure they will be celebrating at Upminster Bridge.

I’m very surprised Havering Council didn’t make more of a thing about it though. They’re never usually shy about jumping on a bandwagon.

While I was growing up in 'the village' it was sleepy old Hornchurch UDC!

(Btw, is it still referred to as that or is it now just part of the Greater London sprawl?)

Seemed like a few there - some invaded the pitch afterwards.

 

[chillred]

whoops......looks like I missed the fact that they dropped the 'AFC' two years back - perhaps we should do the same?!!
