Here we are after a week off with the latest edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast - and it's a chat around the kitchen table for Richard Hughes, Guy Henderson, David Thomas and Clive Hayward.

On the agenda are new signings Callum Morton and Zak Baker, and possible new signings - like Deon Moore! There is actually much to discuss for a close-season edition, so get the biscuits out and the tea on.

There is a new job for Paul Wotton, some interesting things happening at Dagenham & Redbridge, and a trip to Belgium - and another to Barnstaple.

So cosy up on your favourite armchair and press play - you know it makes sense. Come on you Yellows!

And so it turned out to be another big disappointment for Torquay United fans everywhere. The pain is still being felt around the world after the Gulls were beaten 3-2 in extra time by Hornchurch in the National League South play off final last Saturday.

We hear an exclusive interview with co-chairman Michael Westcott, recorded on Tuesday morning, and Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward talk through the game, the agony, the ground, the fans, the ramifications - and the players who are staying, who are going, and who may yet sign new deals, now that the retained list has been announced.

Obviously, spending a fourth season in a row in the National South is frustrating but we can look forward to our stable club giving it a really good go again - with, hopefully, Deon Moore (come on, Deon - you know it makes sense!) on board, and possibly a new member of the Bryn Consortium...

As the Undertones once sang, Here Comes The Summer - and it starts right here! Come on you Yellows!

So it all comes down to this - a huge game at Hornchurch on Saturday for the right to play in the National League next season. It really could be the greatest of days with 900 fans at the Hornchurch Stadium and many more than that at Plainmoor where the club is installing big screens on the pitch.

Torquay beat Dorking Wanderers 4-2 last weekend to set up this National League South final showdown with two goals each from the brilliant Deon Moore and Jordan Young.

Manager Jimmy Ball got the plans right and they were executed perfectly by a team riding a wave of momentum right now. So more of the same at Hornchurch please.

Guy Henderson, David Thomas, Richard Hughes and Clive Hayward sit around a table at the club to talk about the big game - and we hear from the manager, and the co-chairmen Michael Westcott and Mark Bowes-Cavanagh ahead of what promises to be a nervy and dramatic weekend.

It's time to be brave and be ruthless. There's a whole lot of yearning going on... so Come on you Yellows!

So, here we are again, back in the National League South play-offs with a massive game against Dorking Wanderers at Plainmoor on Saturday.

The 2-1 win at Tonbridge Angels last weekend meant the Gulls avoided an eliminator round and Dorking's 2-0 win at home against Maidenhead United set up their visit to the Bay.

We hear from Jimmy Ball, who had a lot to say today about the Tonbridge game and the Dorking game - in his usual Thursday press conference.

The podcasters this week are Guy Henderson, David Thomas and Richard Hughes - and there is much more than the play-offs to discuss - but, obviously, that is this week's key issue... Hopefully it will be next week too.

Remember, it's a 12,30pm kick off on Saturday - so don't be late. Come on you Yellows!

Torquay United go to Tonbridge Angels on Saturday and must win there if they are going to guarantee a place in the National League South play-offs.

Last weekend's defeat by Hemel Hempstead Town left Torquay's promotion hopes relying on a last-day win and then a successful passage through the play-offs - which could mean four cup finals yet!

The podcasters - Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes and Clive Hayward look back to Hemel and forward to Tonbridge and crunch the numbers - with Torquay able to finish second or even eighth and outside of the play-off zone. We also hear from Jimmy Ball at his Thursday press conference.

Clive also tells us about a new TUST initiative - and you can learn more about Yellow Forever by clicking here!

Torquay United have just two games left and the National League South title is still within grasp. That would take a few other teams playing ball for such a positive outcome - but second best is second place and a home run in the play-offs.

After scoring nine goals in the last two games, Torquay are on fire and go into Saturday's home game against Hemel Hempstead Town full of confidence. Hemel will not be easy picking though - so it should be a tough and an entertaining game at Plainmoor on Saturday.

Then it will be one more game to go - but manager Jimmy Ball isn't thinking about Tonbridge Angels yet...

We hear from the manager about Slough and Hemel and his thoughts on the squad and the way things are going - and podcasters Guy Henderson, David Thomas, Richard Hughes and Clive Heyward have much to discuss for this one.

Suddenly, the season is almost over - Saturday's results will decide so much. There is everything to play for... Come on you Yellows!

In the words of Torquay United manager Jimmy Ball, "it's all gravy" - after that amazing Easter weekend that saw the Gulls beat Weston-super-Mare 3-0 on Good Friday and Bath City 4-1 at home on Monday.

Six points from the two games was the best outcome as the Gulls put themselves firmly in the race for promotion back to the National League.

We hear from Ball as the manager talks through those two games and looks forward to this Saturday's away match at Slough Town.

The podcasters Guy Henderson, David Thomas and Richard Hughes have much to discuss in the Palm Suite at Plainmoor. Join them for an hour and ... Come on your Yellows!

Here we go then - a busy four days with Easter bringing a Good Friday away game at Weston-super-Mare, who are rivals of Torquay United for a National League South play-off place. And then it's relegation-threatened Bath City at Plainmoor on Easter Monday for another massive game.

With just five games of the season left they are all massive games now and it's a four-man podcast today with Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward all seated at an antique table to talk about the good old Gulls.

We hear from the manager Jimmy Ball about the two games; and he talks about the new players, the injury situation (much better!) and Mrs Ball's love of the game... not!

We also delve into the club's finances and Clive was at that amazing women's game at the weekend...

Happy Easter podcast fans - and let's hope by this time next week we are six points better off and ready to finish the job off... Come On You Yellows!

Nearly 4,000 people were at Plainmoor in the wind and rain on Tuesday night to watch new boss Jimmy Ball's first home game in charge of Torquay United - and few if any will have gone home disappointed.

The Gulls gave it their all against a Dorking Wanderers side with the title in their sights, and a 2-2 draw was the least Ball's side deserved for their efforts.

This week's Yellow Army Podcast sees Guy Henderson and David Thomas chatting to the manager about the game, the prospect of Horsham at Plainmoor on Saturday, and the near-certainty that at least one new face will have joined United by the time Saturday's game kicks off.

Elsewhere, the podcasters chat about a goalkeeper who became a South Devon football legend without ever playing a first team game for Torquay, and a new book that showcases some memorable images of Plainmoor (and Roots Hall) in years gone by.

And then there's the Baller League, which turns out not to quite such a young man's game after all. It's all in this week's unmissable Yellow Army Podcast.

Come on you Yellows!

So Torquay United have a new manager. It is Jimmy Ball and we hear from the boss as he answers questions from the press in his first conference today at Plainmoor.

With Guy Henderson on a jet somewhere flying back to the UK, it was Richard Hughes and David Thomas - the font of all TUFC knowledge - that talked through Ball's appointment, his words, his history, his hopes and dreams for the job.

It feels like the start of the new era - and with two huge games coming up on Saturday and Tuesday night, the end of the season is closing in fast.

David thinks Jimmy is a good appointment - have a listen to the man talk, and see what you think...

Until next week, Come On You Yellow!
