CLARKE OSBORNE'S STATEMENT
TUST RESPONSE
Whilst TUST is pleased that the club’s owner, Clarke Osborne, has issued a statement in which he confirms Torquay United will remain full-time next season with ‘business as usual’, it still leaves many unanswered questions.
On behalf of the Yellow Army TUST respectfully asks Mr Osborne for more details about his plans for the club’s future and to this end we again ask for a meeting with him.
For instance, are there still hopes for a new stadium? Is there a Five Year plan? Surely, in the light of the Government’s Fan-Led White Paper there should be greater communication and transparency between the club and its loyal supporters - ‘brilliant supporters who have supported with passion and commitment’, Mr Osborne rightly acknowledges - a Fans’ Forum would be a good starting point.
And, of course, Mr Osborne’s statement makes no reference to the decline of the footballing side of the club resulting in almost inevitable relegation. There is no apology for the way the club has operated this season or those in charge taking responsibility for their decision making.
TUST hopes and expects further statements from the club as soon as the season ends.
