Torquay United and their long-suffering fans face nearly 900 miles on the road in the coming days.
A trip to bottom club Eastbourne Borough on Saturday is swiftly followed by a journey to fellow promotion contenders Worthing on Tuesday night. Players, management, fans and podcasters will have plenty of time on the road to mull over the events on and off the pitch at Plainmoor.
This week’s Yellow Army podcast casts an eye back over the 1-1 draw at home to Maidenhead, that penalty decision and what looked like a nasty injury to leading scorer Jordan Young.
Paul Wotton, meanwhile, says one...
Loan players dominate the agenda on the Yellow Army Podcast this week as we run the rule over Tuesday night’s ‘bump in the road’ and look ahead to a big day at Plainmoor on Saturday.
Torquay United’s seven-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 1-0 defeat at Chippenham Town - a late goal handing the hosts all three points from a game which Torquay dominated. Maidenhead United are the visitors to Plainmoor on Saturday for what will be the first home match since January 17 if the rain holds off.
Manager Paul Wotton mulls over Tuesday’s disappointment, and explains how a change in personn...
It never rains, but it pours! For the first quarter of the season, Torquay United couldn’t buy an away win. Now it seems they can’t stop picking up the big points on the road.
Tuesday’s 3-2 win at Dover made it nine points from three away games on the trot, hoisting the Gulls to the top of National League South, with second-placed Dorking Wanderers due to visit Plainmoor on Saturday. Excitement will be at fever pitch, if it ever stops raining.
This week’s Yellow Army Podcast finds Gulls boss Paul Wotton in buoyant mood, albeit a little sleep-deprived after all those hours on the road. He ...
After the wash-out that was Tuesday night's postponed home game against Farnborough, Torquay United have a massive trip to National League South leaders Hornchurch on Saturday.
It will be a huge game for both clubs and one that could see the Gulls go top if they beat the team they lost 2-1 at home to in November.
The Yellow Army podcasters are Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes and Clive Hayward this week and they discuss this game, and wonder what team Paul Wotton might pick - given the form of young striker Kieran Wilson, who scored that crucial winner at Enfield Town on Saturday, and the re...
After that tough game against Maidstone United on Saturday, in which there were three red cards, two of them shown to Torquay United players, the Yellow Army Podcast gets to grips with exactly what happened.
Guy Henderson, Richard Hughs and David Thomas talk about that game and the two forthcoming matches at Enfield Town on Saturday and at home against Farnborough next Tuesday.
We hear from manager Paul Wotton at his latest press conference and we talk about Big Nev, remembering a glorious couple of years for the legendary goalkeeper at Plainmoor. Then there is Richard's article this week...
Hello Torquay United fans and welcome to our latest Yellow Army Podcast. Guy Henderson is away with a head cold so it's Richard Hughes back in the hot seat with David Thomas and Clive Hayward doing the heavy lifting.
This week there is the excellent 4-1 win against Hampton & Richmond Borough to discuss, and Saturday's big game against Maidstone United - don't we play them every two weeks?
We hear from manager Paul Wotton about those two games, and Callum Dolan's knee injury that will keep him out until the end of the season.
Would you change the team about a bit then, for this one? Liste...
Hello from rainy Torquay United where we recorded our latest edition of the Yellow Army Podcast today. There was much to discuss for Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward, with that disappointing 0-0 draw at Bath City followed by the wasted trip to Dover Athletic.
And we hear from the manager Paul Wotton at his Thursday press conference, who says the Gulls are "one thousand, million, trillion per cent" still in the race for promotion.
The squad is almost back to full fitness too with Matt Worthington available for Saturday's home game against Hampton & Richmond Borough, and Munas...
Happy New Year Gulls fans - and let's hope this is a year that brings goals, goals, goals, and that promotion we are all so desperate for. Torquay United start 2026 with a long trip to Dover Athletic - and following that frustrating 0-0 draw at Bath City on Saturday, a win in Kent would really go down well.
Manager Paul Wotton said his team was 'tentative' at Bath where they had chances but couldn't find a way through. But with players like Louis Dennis in great form - and Matt Jay doing his bit - and with others coming back from injury, could the start of 2026 be one to remember.
Put the...
Merry Christmas listeners - it's the final Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast before the big day and with a big game at AFC Totton on Saturday there is a lot to discuss.
Torquay were on a good run of five wins but lost against Tonbridge Angels last time out, so they will want to put things right in Hampshire on Saturday.
Will there be changes? Will Callum Dolan be back in the team or on the bench. Will Cody Cooke be back?
Then it's back to Plainmoor for the Boxing Day home game against Weston-super-Mare. Get there early, it's going to be a busy one!
We have Michael Westcott and Mark Bow...
It's break time and time to look back at that frustrating game against Tonbridge Angels, which ended the five-game winning streak we were all so proud of.
Guy Hendeson, Richard Hughes and David Thomas team up in the Paignton Dining Room studio to talk through that game - and look forward to the trip to AFC Totton on December 20.
Before that, Torquay have a break, so it will be a long wait for fans to see the Gulls bounce back - and then it's the big Boxing Day home showdown with Weston-super-Mare.
There is also a lot of off-the-field activities to discuss too - with the club restructurin...
Torquay United will be going for six National League South wins in a row on Saturday when they entertain Tonbridge Angels at what is expected to be a wet Plainmoor.
But it will also be Christmas Jumper Day, and fans will be able to buy a beer to drink while watching the game - so that's not too bad, is it?
It's the four-man team of Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward this week and there is much to discuss - including that marvellous debut by Exeter City loanee Kieran Wilson, and the free kick by Jordan Young.
We hear from Paul Wotton about Chelmsford, where we a...
Since our last Yellow Army Podcast, Torquay United have scored 10 goals - seven of them against Eastbourne Borough on Saturday, and another three in the brilliant comeback win against Worthing on Tuesday night.
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are joined by Dave Thomas and Clive Hayward and this is the A Team that talk through those two games, and Saturday's long trip to Chelmsford City.
Further talk is about the injury crisis, with Torquay only having 16 players available for the last two games - and the usual bits and pieces.
It might be getting cold but the season is definitely heatin...
It's a shorter, down the line podcast today as Torquay United have delayed their usual Thursday afternoon press conference until Friday.
So Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes chat over the internet and discuss the latest injury setbacks which may have hit the club ahead of three big games in eight days.
Five players were out last weekend when Torquay were knocked out of the FA Trophy by Maidstone United. Gulls fans are hoping that at least Louis Dennis and Callum Dolan will be back for Saturday's National League South home game against Eastbourne Borough - but that's not a certainty right n...
Torquay United are in a good place after two good away wins following a disappointing result, but good showing, against Hornchurch in their last away game.
They didn't play in midweek so dropped back down to fourth in the National League South - but confidence is high after they beat Farnborough and Maidenhead United on the road.
Now we have Maidstone United in the FA Trophy at Plainmoor - and the Podcasters ask if this is a chance to change the team, or keep up the momentum?
Richard Hughes returns and Guy Henderson is away for this one - so David Thomas and Clive Hayward talk through t...
The Yellow Army podcast reflects on a big night in Hampshire and looks forward to a tough trip to Maidenhead. WARNING: May include tuneless singing

Wotton looks forward...
Torquay United's players have been posting on their socials about 'cleanos' - sometimes it is easy to feel old in this world of ours. But spring chickens Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are joined by the font of all TUFC knowledge on this week's edition of the longest running Gulls podcast.
We hear about Torquay's win and that cleano at Salisbury, the coming weekend's exciting visit of Dagenham & Redbridge and their former England striker Andy Carroll, and we hear from manager Paul Wotton, who gives us his thoughts on both games.
There have been some changes behind the scenes with a mini...
There was much to discuss in this week's Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast - after a week's break from league and pod action.
David Thomas joins Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes to talk about this coming Saturday's visit to Salisbury, where the Gulls will be trying to get a monkey off their back. Yet to win away this season, this is a great opportunity for the Gulls against a side one off the bottom of the National League South table.
We hear from manager Paul Wotton about that game, and about players coming back from injury, and a new loan signing joining the squad for 28 days.
We hear...

And, with players on the brink of returning from injury, there could be some illustrious names in the Torquay line-up for the Devon Bowl game at ...
That first half against Slough Town on Saturday was a wonderful 45 minutes of football (if you forget the two goals we gifted the visitors). Louis Dennis was fabulous before going off injured at half time - and the podcasters talk through the game, and that performance, in this latest edition of the Yellow Army Podcast.
We hear from manager Paul Wotton who talks about that game and Saturday's visit to AFC Cotton in the FA Cup. Just don't mention Bishops Cleeve! There is some better news on the injury front with some players closing in on a return, but spare a thought for Munashe Sunder, wh...
It was a tale of two away games on Saturday and Tuesday night when Torquay United were awful and beaten 2-1 at Hemel Hempstead Town - and then much better in the 2-2 draw at Hampton & Richmond Borough.

We hear from manager Paul Wotton about those games and two more away games coming up this week - at Hemel Hempstead Town at the weekend and Hampton & Richmond Borough on Tuesday.
Torquay are second in the National League South table and podcasters Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes talk about what's gone, and what's to come. And that growing injury list!
But as Wotton says in his press conference - it is what it is!

Two wins and seven points from three games is a good start, we think, as The Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast talks through the Gull's opening to the National League South season.
But what about those injuries? Do we already have an injury crisis on our hands?

Saturday is the start of a brand new football season for the Gulls and we hear from Torquay United manager Paul Wotton about the squad, expectations, and that first game against Enfield Town.
Joining Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes and David Thomas today is Clive Hayward and there is much to discuss ahead of the big National League South opener.
They talk about that final friendly against Weymouth and a possible starting line up for Saturday - with all agreed that 10 of the 11 players are pretty much nailed on. So that leaves one question mark - right in the centre of the park.
The podcast...
It takes a lot to get the Yellow Army podcasters out from behind their screens, but the offer of tea and cakes by the seaside seems to have done the trick.
Invited to record this week’s edition sitting outside a beach hut beside Preston Sands, they jumped at the chance. Hence a podcast with the sea in the background and one brief interruption when the heavens opened and threatened to turn their notebooks into papier mache.
On the agenda this week is a look back at the Exeter friendly and ahead at the trip to Weymouth, along with a bash at naming the starting XI for the league opener again...
Torquay United had contrasting results in the past week with that wonderful 3-1 win against Newport County followed by Wednesday's 6-0 defeat at Plainmoor by Plymouth Argyle.
It was a bit of a wake-up call for Gulls fans but manager Paul Wotton isn't too worried. In fact he called it 'a brilliant learning curve'.
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes talk about the two games, and how pre-season is going. They talk about the different balls used on Wednesday, and the make-up of the crowd - with many more than the 1,500 Argyle fans in the crowd of over 5,000.
We are closing in on the season and...
Rumours were abound at Buckland on Saturday that another player was about to sign on Monday. That didn't happen but a signing is expected today - perhaps it has already happened.
The sun and the wasps were out at Buckland too - with Torquay playing their first pre-season and winning 3-0 at Homers Heath.
David Thomas joins Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes for this one, ahead of friendlies against Newport County, Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City.
It's all quite exciting - as the chaps talk through another week of Torquay United news.
