The Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast

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...

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....

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...

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.

It's the four-man team of Guy Henderson, Richard Hughes, David Thomas and Clive Hayward this...

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 Un...

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...

We hear from manager Paul Wotton who talks about that game and Saturday's visi...

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.

Hence a podcast with the sea in the background and one brief interruption when the heavens opened and threatened to turn their no...

Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes talk about the two games, and how pre-season is goin...
