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... But Neil Warnock told Richard not to get too carried away at training last week, and we hear the chat between the two of them, as well as Richard's interview with co-chairman Michael Westco...
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.
Neil Warnock, Torquay United, and the biggest boy band in town entertained the fans at the Princess Theatre on Friday and Guy Henderson was there to report back, while Richard Hughes talks about how the former regime got it so wrong, after his column in the Herald Express and on DevonLive this week.
We also talk about new players and that Buckland Athletic friendly, which is now ge...
Welcome to the Happy Place - the place that is being created by the Bryn Consortium to make you feel comfortable and content, excited and enthused... Welcome to a happy Plainmoor once again.
That's the message from the co-chairmen Michael Westcott and Mark Bowes-Cavanagh in their interview on the official Torquay United website this week - and in this podcast, Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes mull over their words, recent developments, the latest player announcements, season ticket sales and more, on the eve of the start of pre-season training.
It is going to be an interesting week for the ...
Happy (or sad) Covolanniversary Podcast listeners. This week Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are back after a one-week break to talk about where we are in the new world of Torquay United.

And there is news on which former Gulls have gone where. Get a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits and settle in for this half an hour of Torquay chat. Are you with us?

This week the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast meets up with new manager Paul Wotton and there is lots to discuss - his first couple of weeks, new recruits, announcement videos, and lots of other stuff.
It is a refreshing chat with a manager who says he will always be honest - and that comes through in the 20 minutes he was happy to give Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes as he continues to talk to players and conclude deals.
He is definitely excited - and so are Podcasters, so don't delay, click on play, and see what Paul has to say about the club and his new job. He can't wait to get the ...
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.
But there is a list of creditors to discuss, and how much money needs to be paid off in six months! It is quite an alarm...
After a dramatic week at Torquay United, the Podcasters reflect on the developments at the club, with thoughts on the new era, the new manager, and the new football advisor.
Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes talk about the positive vibes at Tuesday's press conference, and speculate on an assistant manager, and future players. And why there's no reason to worry about the club still not officially belonging to the Bryn Consortium.
So settle down with a tea or coffee, and a family selection of biscuits, and press play on 'A Different Kettle Of Fish'. Come On You Yellows.

Today was a big day with Paul Wotton being named the new manager at Torquay United - and there was a press conference at the Livermead Cliff Hotel, where he sat alongside new football advisor Neil Warnock.

Come On You Yellows.

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...
Happy Birthday Torquay United - 125 years old this week! So now we have a named consortium and things are beginning to look a lot better at Torquay United with The Bryn Consortium setting up Scoring Goals Limited and talks obviously progressing with the administrators in the right direction.
But who are the Bryn Consortium, who is its lead Michael Westcott, and what does the formation of Scoring Goals Limited actually mean?
The Podcasters Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes will try to answer these questions and more in this latest edition of the longest-running Torquay United podcast in the w...
Hello again from Podcastland. This week Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes discuss what might be going on behind closed doors at Plainmoor - and why secrecy is a bad thing.
There is that brilliant last game of the season to mull over and Guy goes for a deep dive into players' social media accounts. Well, not that deep, but deep enough for men of their age.
And now it is the waiting and the wondering - and the nerves before an announcement that might be good, or might be bad. Interesting and worrying times for Gulls fans indeed...
Until next week, Come on You Yellows. Yellows Forever!

Was that the biggest game since 1987? It certainly felt like it. This week our podcasters are joined by special guest David Thomas, with Guy Henderson in the driving seat and Richard Hughes in the passenger seat of the hot mobile studio.
On Tuesday night Torquay beat Taunton 2-1 to end fears that the club could drop into the Southern League - and now, on Saturday, there will be a more relaxed atmosphere as the Gulls play the last game of what has been at times an horrific season, at Plainmoor.
The chaps talk about Taunton, where Torquay battled through 12 minutes of added time, and the curr...
Sit back, relax, crack open a can of Elvis Juice, and listen to the latest edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast with Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes.
We now know there is a preferred bidder, but who that is remains a mystery until they decide to out themselves. What we do know is the preferred bidders aren't Michael Westcott and TUST - so somebody completely new? We shall see. Rumours are brewing on social media though!
After Torquay's 2-1 win against Truro City at Gloucester on Monday, things look better at the bottom end of the National League South table - but there are sti...
Bank Holiday Blues. As the Podcasters wait for news about bids being accepted or not, and possible administration, they sit in the car and chew the Bank Holiday fat.
Two games and six goals conceded, but at least the one point won meant Torquay rose up the table one place, and went one point further clear of the relegation zone.
But with two big away games to start a run of four on the road on Saturday and Monday, there is much to discuss for Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes, as the rain fans down on Boots & Laces carpark.
With five games to go for the team to save their National League Sou...
So now we know who the people behind at least one consortium trying to buy Torquay United are - and this week the Podcasters, Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson, talk to Nick Brodrick of TUST about how the supporters' trust is also involved in the bid.
It was a rainy old day in Torquay today and it was actually hailing on the car-studio windscreen as the talk got serious.
We also hear from interim manager Aaron Downes about that great win against Hampton & Richmond Borough and a busy Easter schedule that sees the Gulls going to Yeovil Town on Friday and then the visit of Weston-super-Mare on...
Richard Hughes is flying solo this week for this Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast, with co-pilot Guy Henderson still on holiday for a second week.
So it’s a quick intro and a chat with Aaron Downes, after two bad defeats, and ahead of Saturday's game against Hampton & Richmond Borough at Plainmoor on Devon Day!
And then superfan Hayden Jones chats to Richard about how it feels to be a Torquay United fan at the moment.
Until next week - when Guy and normality will return to the podcast.

Hello again - and this week the Podcasters are back sitting in Marnham Road, in a car under the blue plaque tribute to Peter Cook. Imagine what he would have made of what's going on at Plainmoor right now...
The club has been given another two weeks to sort out a sale before the threat of administration rears its ugly head again - so it is going to be busy, busy, busy for everyone involved in a possible deal.
The Podcasters, Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson, talk about these developments, plus the forthcoming home games against Dartford and Taunton Town.
And we hear from interim manager Aar...
Some good news from the club today as Aaron Downes reveals the players have been paid - although Richard Hughes can't quite get his tongue around that sentence in today's Yellow Army Podcast chat with Guy Henderson.
It has been quite a week in the life of Torquay United, with Clarke Osbourne walking away last Thursday and manager Gary Johnson following his exit from the club that evening. So there is much to discuss for our podcasters.
They talk about the appointment of Aaron Downes as interim manager, the 2-2 draw against Aveley at a rocking Plainmoor on Saturday, and plans for the game ag...
Yesterday was a shocking day for all Torquay United fans, whether they wanted Clarke Osborne out, Gary Johnson out, or not. The Podcasters, Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson, went to the usual Thursday press conference and everything seemed normal.
The pod was recorded and edited and uploaded, and was just about to be put on DevonLive when the news broke that Osborne was stepping down as chairman and the club was being put into administration.
In the evening, Gary Johnson left - and it was decided we would do another pod this morning.
So here it is - Judgement Day II (With Words From Aaron D...
Here were are again, the Podcasters sitting at Guy Henderson's table talking about a club going through some difficult times, on and off the pitch. Guy and Richard Hughes have much to discuss then, as the rain pours down in Paignton.
Torquay ended that awful run of five defeats with a 0-0 draw at Farnborough - but a point only meant they are seven points away from the National League South play-off places rather than the five they were before.
But manager Gary Johnson said in his press call that he now has the team he has wanted all season, with the returns of Aaron Jarvis, Kevin Dawson and...
It has been a pretty rough week for Gulls fans after that fourth defeat on the trot against Slough Town.
For Podcasters Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson, it is time to reflect on that defeat and talk about Richard's column from this week's Herald Express.
Torquay boss Gary Johnson also talks about the Slough defeat, the postponement at Taunton Town on Tuesday, and injured players - plus he looks forward to the game against Braintree Town this weekend. There are two tough games on the road - at Braintree and Farnborough - before Torquay are back at Plainmoor again for the visit of Aveley on ...
After a break for a week, it is good to be back - but there's no getting away from it, and Gary Johnson doesn't in his interview this week, Saturday’s showing against St Albans City was one of the worst performances by a Torquay United side for some considerable time.
So there is much to discuss as Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson sit in a car outside the ground and watch the rain fall down and the windows steam up.
After that 4-0 defeat by St Albans, Torquay were better at Maidstone United - and there is the hint of a couple of big players being available this weekend, when Slough Town co...
This week's Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast is a bit all over the place with Guy Henderson unable to attend the 12.30pm press call with Gary Johnson, so recording the chat-bit with Richard Hughes before that happened.
Which means, when the Podcasters go over the Gary they come back from the other side without knowing what he said. Only after Richard went to Plainmoor later was the bit in the middle pasted into place. Confused? You will be.
Torquay head to Worthing this weekend after the 1-1 draw at Chippenham Town on a run of three games undefeated - but results need to be better than dr...
The Podcasters are a day late this week so apologies to the Yellow Army for that - but there is much to discuss so Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson hunker down and talk all things Torquay United.
Where to start? Oh, that horrible show at Hereford where Torquay were poor and tempers' flared in the away end. Out the Trophy then - is that a good or a bad thing as the Gulls get back to National League South action this weekend with a home game against bottom-of-the-table Dover Athletic?
After Duane Ofori-Acheampong's brief cameo last weekend, who will start up front for this one? Will Tom Lapsl...
The Podcasters Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson take their usual sideways look at what is going on at Torquay United, where injuries are biting as much as the cold at the training ground.
We hear from Gary Johnson, who was keen to talk about the injured players - some of whom might be back for the next National League South game against Dover Athletic.
But first Torquay go to Hereford this weekend for a FA Trophy fourth round tie - and there is a lot to talk about, with Guy getting all misty eyed about a Large footballer.
If you're going to Hereford on Saturday - seek out Guy and say hello....
Happy New Year and International Pat Cruise Week Torquay fans. Out with the old, in with the new. Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes have an early start for this week's first Yellow Army Pod of 2024 - and there is lots to discuss.
Torquay finished 2023 with two defeats - at Chelmsford City and at Plainmoor against Truro City - so there are the bones of those defeats to pick through.
We hear from Gary Johnson about those games and Saturday's visit of Eastbourne Borough, who Torquay beat 4-1 to start the good run in November and the start of December.
And the Gaffer gives us an update on the pl...
This week's episode of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast is a Chunky Christmas Special with Richard Hughes, Guy Henderson, David Thomas, coffee and mince pies, World Cup 1970 coins, our yearly TUFC quiz - and Geroge Best dressed as Santa.
What more could you want as we countdown to the Big Day - Saturday's trip to Chelmsford City! See what I did there? We also hear from manager Gary Johnson and talk about the win against Hemel Hempstead Town, which came before Tuesday night's postponement at Taunton Town.
Also up for discussion are the strange cases of a ridiculous second yellow card ...
This week, Radio Yellow Army Podcast talks about The Young Ones. No, not the early 1980s TV show, but the late 2023 Torquay United FA Trophy selection. Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are veritable old men compared to the likes of Jacob Wellington & Co after the average age of the players involved in the 4-1 win at Frome Town was 20!
We hear from manager Gary Johnson about that game and the visit of Hemel Hempstead Town on Saturday, the return of WJD from Plymouth, and the run-in to Christmas and the new year. There are 15 points on offer before 2024...
There is lots more to discuss too - ...
Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson are separated today for the latest edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast.
It has been one of those weeks when there is plenty to discuss - what with the fans' protest at the game against Tonbridge Angels, three wins on the trot - and the injury crisis of all injury crises.
Guy was at the weekly press conference - taken by Aaron Downes as Gary Johnson was busy on the phone - and we learned quite a lot, including the fact that the recently missing Shaun Donnellan is not injured.
Torquay are away at Frome Town in the FA Trophy on Saturday - so best ...
