Good article on TUFC’s current plight. https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... -plainmoor
It’s worth reading in full, but this kind of paragraph, about TUFC's current owner, sends shivers down the spine:
It’s worth reading in full, but this kind of paragraph, about TUFC's current owner, sends shivers down the spine:
The owner of Gaming International, a company with a history of investing in sports grounds for redevelopment purposes, Osborne is a wrecking ball with a history of razing stadiums on the promise of building replacements that never materialise. To date, he has been responsible for the eviction of Bristol Rovers from Eastville and the closure of greyhound and speedway tracks, in places such as Reading and Milton Keynes. GI is also the tenant of the council-owned Poole Stadium, where it runs the dogs and leases the speedway track to the local club. Osborne arrived at Torquay promising investment in a bid to stave off relegation but no new players were signed.
