So pre-season has started with two games in the sun at Buckland Athletic and Cullompton Rangers - and 11 goals! So how do the podcasters think pre-season is going so far?

It's a thumbs-up from Guy Henderson, David Thomas and Richard Hughes as the topics of discussion include those two games and the performances of strikers Isaac Westendorf, Deon Moore and Callum Morton.

With games to go against Brixham and Plymouth Parkway in the next week, there is chat about who else has impressed in pre-season and what does it all mean? And hey, tomorrow we will discover Torquay's fixture list for the coming National League South season.

And then there's the World Cup. And what do we all think about FIFA right now? So click on the link and enjoy our sunny podcast - coming to you from three old fellas in a room in Paignton. Until next week...

Just as we were celebrating England's win against DR Congo at the World Cup, the biggest news of the day was dropped by Torquay United - that Deon Moore had signed a two-year deal to remain with the club.

Was he? Wasn't he? That was the story of the summer after manager Jimmy Ball offered the striker a contract at the end of last season - after he scored eight goals in 10 days.

Those goals almost led Torquay to promotion - but Moore couldn't do it all by himself, and eventually the dream was over. Just over a week ago Ball said he thought the dream of Moore signing was also done ... but then this!

Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward talk about the signing of Moore and what he will bring to the squad, while there are also new players Jake Wannell and Toby Savin to discuss.

There is the sad news of the death of a legendary Torquay star - a player that would almost certainly get into the podcast's Mavericks XI.

With Torquay starting their pre-season games at Buckland Athletic on Saturday, there is a lot to talk about today... Come on you Yellows!

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside!

This week’s Yellow Army Podcast comes from the beach, where our crew squeezes into a beach hut to bring you the latest episode.

There’s an easterly swell hitting the prom at Preston but it seems as if it's all plain sailing at Plainmoor right now. Manager Jimmy Ball was in a positive mood earlier this week as the squad reported for the first training session of the summer, and we hear his thoughts on how the squad is shaping up.

The podcasters mull over the new arrivals and the possible departures, as well as dipping their toes into the murky waters of social media to chat about a player who absolutely everyone seems to think will be signing for the Gulls any minute.

And then there are the Mavericks, and the first nominations for a hypothetical squad of players who weren’t afraid to rock the boat.

All aboard for this week’s slightly damp and windy podcast.

It has been a quiet week on the new front but there is still much to discuss for the podcasters as we approached the first day of pre-season training next Monday.

Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward gather around the kitchen table in the Babbacombe studio and talk about the new signings and more to come....

The Deon Moore question hangs heavy in the air and there is cycling chat this week, as well as cricket and the World Cup. And what about 'Little Weirdos'?

This time next week we will have pre-season and hopefully some more signings to talk about - but there is still enough to fill an hour of Yellow Army Podcast this week, so click on the link and enjoy...

New signings on and off the field, fresh fixtures for pre-season, the retirement of a Plainmoor favourite and a manager in a sombrero - who says the close season is dull?

The Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast is back after a week away with much to discuss.

We run the rule over the new signings who have put pen to paper since the last podcast, and welcome the news that a born goalscorer has signed on to complete some unfinished business.

We also welcome a new member of the board - a Brixham-born Gulls fan whose input is already having an effect.

There are ex-Gulls on the move, new friendly fixtures for the men’s and women’s teams and a full and frank look ahead to a certain tournament that begins in Mexico this week.

And, of course, there’s a fond farewell to Amber, who has been doing her best to keep your chips safe and your football ground gull-free for the past few seasons.

And that World Cup game that’s going to have you addicted all the way through until the final? It’s here https://7a0.com.br/en

Enjoy.

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!
