It's nearly Christmas and on this week's edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast we are celebrating Paul Wotton's Manager of the Month for November award.
We hear from Wotton about the win against Horsham in the FA Trophy and Saturday's big game against Farnborough. He also gives us a rundown on the shape of the squad and whether Cody Cooke will be available.
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are joined by legend David Thomas ahead of his big celebration at Plainmoor on Friday night - where Torquay players from the past and the present will be paying tribute to the former Herald Ex...
It's a wild and windy day so snuggle up and get the tea and biscuits ready for another edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast.
With Guy Henderson away, Richard Hughes reluctantly takes the lead with guests David Thomas from the Torbay Weekly and Clive Hayward from Torquay Talk happy to answer his stupid questions.
We hear from manager Paul Wotton, who talks about Saturday's FA Trophy home game against Horsham, and we wonder what he will do about replacing Lirak Hasani in the middle of the park.
Will Jenkins Davies and the new white shirt also come up in the Pod. So warm your hand...
What a night that was! On Tuesday Torquay United beat National League South leaders Weston-super-Mare on a wet and windy night under the lights at Plainmoor. There were six goals, a missed penalty, a sending off - and a brave, brave performance from the Gulls in front of a crowd that were on their A game too.
Podcasters Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes and David Thomas talk about that game, and Saturday's trip to bottom-of-the-table Enfield Town. We also hear from the manager Paul Wotton, who definitely doesn't enjoy nights like Tuesday, at least not until the final whistle.
There are also Chr...
Hello Podcast fans - and welcome to the new Torquay United media suite where today's episode of the Yellow Army Podcast was recorded. Thank you, the all-new, forward-thinking TUFC.
On the agenda - after a week away because of clashing holidays - is the win against Truro City in the FA Trophy, another ghost goal - this time that went for us - and we ask the questions, if it suddenly worth protesting goals after years of not getting referees to change their minds?
This weekend Torquay have a tough game against Boreham Wood (two words) in Borehamwood (one word) and then on Tuesday the leaders ...
Hello from Plainmoor where the latest edition of the Herald Express DevonLive Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast (to give it its full name!) was recorded this afternoon.
After four points from the 2-2 home draw against Chelmsford City and the 1-0 win at Salisbury, the Gulls now have three home games on the trot with Tonbridge Angels coming to Plainmoor on Saturday, and Maidstone United following them on Tuesday night. Then it's Truro City in the FA Trophy.
Joining Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes this week are guests David Thomas and, making his debut (although he had to scoot halfway throu...
After that performance at Hornchurch, we hope this halloween edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast won't give you nightmares as we pick apart what went wrong there.
But there has been some positive news this week with the club signing forward Jordan Young from Yeovil Town for an undisclosed fee. He is sure to play a part when Torquay take on Chelmsford City at Plainmoor on Saturday.
The regular Podcasters, Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes, are joined by special guest David Thomas to talk through the good and the bad. And a whole lot more.
Watch out for the trick or treaters toni...
It's Podcast time people and this week Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are musing over the business of the last seven days - and a 1-1 draw at Eastbourne Borough followed by a 2-1 win against Worthing.
Wasn't it great to be back at Plainmoor after a 31-day absence - and there were two smashing goals by Omar Mussa and Jay Foulston to entertain the fantastic 3,701 fans in the crowd, only 24 of which were from Worthing.
We hear Paul Wotton's press conference as the manager talks about these games and Saturday's trip to Hornchurch.
And Guy brings up headers and the debate about whether they sh...
Hello out there - time for another Podcast from the Yellow Army guys and today Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are joined by David Thomas for a chat in the car studio.
We hear from Paul Wotton before the guys talk through a couple of quiet weeks since the Hampton & Richmond win, with a trip to Eastbourne Borough eagerly awaited on Saturday.
It will be 31 days since a game at Plainmoor on Tuesday when Worthing are the Gulls visitors, and the Podcasters - and the Torquay manager - can't wait to be back at home.
It's been a long time, folks. Come on you Yellows... See you there!

It's Podcast time again and Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes have much to discuss, and one thing we have learned this week is Paul Wotton loves a clean sheet.
With Torquay having picked up one of them at Hampton & Richmond Borough on Saturday, the Gulls are now third in the National League South table. But we are now in a two-week break and the Pocasters have a look at how the land lies.
With no press conference this week, Richard talks to the Torquay manager on the phone and asks him how he feels about the start to the season.
All this and more - until next week, Come on you Yellows.

It was a lovely day outside Plainmoor where the Podcasters Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes got together after a week off to go through the latest news from Plainmoor.
After that 1-1 draw against St Albans City, Torquay were without a game last weekend, but that might have been a good thing, with a few injuries still in the squad. Manager Paul Wotton gives us an update on those players, and suggests there might be some ins and outs to come as well.
After Hampton & Richmond Borough on Saturday, there will be another two-week break for the Gulls. When we finally play Worthing at home on Octob...
It was terrible, it was embarrassing, it was down right anger inducing - but there must be a time when we draw a line under that FA Cup performance at Bishops Cleeve.
That was the message from Torquay manager Paul Wotton today in his press conference, and we hear him talk about that game and Saturday's return to National League South action against St Albans City at Plainmoor.
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are joined by David Thomas for this Pod, recorded in the car studio on a surprisingly hot day in the bay - so, with the windows down, you get the sounds of cars driving past for free, ...
This week's Podcast comes from the warm-car studio outside Plainmoor with Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes shambling through the news from Torquay United like two ex-pros on the Madri.
There is that goal at Welling to talk about - or to be more precise, the goal that wasn't. Paul Wotton got an apology from the referee and the manager talks about that - and this weekend's visit to Bishops Cleeve in the FA. Guy doesn't quite get his banana-skin ban in quick enough...
All this and more, like the Madri Boys game against Torquay's Legends, which is coming up this weekend, and the Hero of the Wee...
It's Podcast time again and the rain is back as Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes sit in the upgraded studio car on Marnham Road and talk about four points from two home games.
There was that 'slightly disappointing' 1-1 draw against Aveley on Saturday but on Tuesday night Torquay were much better when they raced into a 3-0 lead to beat Chippenham Town and go second in the National League South table.
We hear Paul Wotton's thoughts on those two games why the Aveley performance wasn't as bad as he first thought, and the Podcasters discuss those contrasting performances along with the fact tha...
Here we are again - in the car studio outside Boots & Laces, talking about good old Torquay United.
After a Bank Holiday weekend that brought a mighty six points from two games in three days, there is much to discuss. Wins over Dorking Wanderers and Chesham United were the product of hard work, determination and resilience - and we hear from Paul Wotton about those games, and the two home games coming up against Aveley and Chippenham Town.
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are once again joined by David Thomas for this one. Two ill-prepared journalists rambling on - and DT. Come on you Yello...
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes share a phone line today for a remote Yellow Army Podcast, with lots to discuss after Tuesday's excellent 2-1 win at Bath City.
That game followed the 2-1 defeat at Farnborough - so it's now two wins out of three games before the visit of Dorking Wanderers on Saturday and the trip to Chesham United on Bank Holiday Monday.
We hear from Paul Wotton; we talk about those games and the nine-month suspension handed down to Austen Booth - and we have strong thoughts on the FA and football's ties with bookmakers following that decision.
There is more news about form...
It's three men in a car again this week as David Thomas joins Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes to talk about the first game of Torquay United's season.
We also hear from manager Paul Wotton about that first game, and Saturday's trip to Farnborough, which may well turn out to be an altogether tougher match for the new squad.

There is also news about ex-Gulls and lots more in this week's Yellow Army Podcast.

The Podcasters are hoping it is Bucket Hat Weather on Saturday when Torquay United take on Plymouth Argyle in an eagerly awaited pre-season friendly at a sold-out Plainmoor.

Torquay have 10 days in between the Tavistock game and the visit of their slightly bigger neighbours Plymouth Argyle, who manager Wayne Rooney will be bringing to Plainmoor on July 27.
We hope to hear from the manager Paul Wotton again in next week's Pod, but for now,...
The Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast is a day early today because - guess what! - it's Fixtures Day, and Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes wanted to capture the moment that they discovered who the Gulls will be playing on the first day of the new National League South season.
You'll know by now that it will be Enfield Town at home and with each step towards that game, the more exciting it is becoming...

It's election day so the Podcasters are hamstrung and must avoid talking about politics in this week's get together - so here's to another long chat about football and Torquay United for our discerning listeners.

We also talk about new players and that Buckland Athletic friendly, which is now ge...

Recorded and launched a day early, this week's Podcast has a loose agenda, and features a special guest. David Thomas joins Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes in the kitchen studio and the trio talk through the goings on at Torquay United.
There are players leaving and players to talk about who might be joining, as Paul Wotton and Neil Warnock set about building a squad for the next National League South season.
But first, the deal still has to go through, and the podcasters consider when that is likely to happen - and if Rivera Stadiums are really owed millions of pounds by the new owners th...
Ready To Go - it seems that way! The 'almost complete' takeover is the talk of non-league football and Torquay United's manager Paul Wotton has been talking to players in his first week in the job.
In this week's podcast, Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes chat about palm trees (the right and wrong kind), new shirts, possible assistants and possible players - and with the Gulls now having three friendlies lined up, about the beauty of a pre-season game at Buckland Athletic.

Today the Podcasters Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes go through the questions and answers that featured in Richard's column in the Herald Express this week. There is much to discuss - full time/part time? Artificial pitch? Consolidation ahead of ambition? Who will be the manager at the start of the season?
While there is understandable silence from the Bryn Consortium and the administrators - as talks about the takeover continue - the chaps also look at the make up of next season's National League South, and pay tribute to Paul Holmes, who sadly died this week. There was also some action f...
