The Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast

This week the Podcasters are in a dry Paignton studio while the wind and rain batters South Devon. Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes talk about that win at Havant & Waterlooville, and the antics of a certain third goalie there. An instant Torquay legend, some might say. And then the attention turns to this weekend's game against Yeovil Town in the FA Trophy. We hear from manager Gary Johnson on the...

Hello from a rainy day in Torquay where Richard Hughes was joined by David Thomas this week to pick through the bones of another frustrating defeat. After that satisfying win against Bath, Tuesday night's 3-1 loss to Yeovil was a real low blow. But with five key players out, we hear what manager Gary Johnson says about that game and Saturday's against lowly Havant & Waterlooville. And then they sw...

The Podcasters were a day early this week after the club's press call was on a Wednesday instead of a Thursday. Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes sheltered from the rain in the Paignton studio to discuss injuries, bad results, Bath City and Yeovil Town. These are not the best of times for Gulls fans but Gary Johnson says he will do all he can to improve the form and go for promotion - stating there...

Two men sitting in a car in Marnham Road, while the rain falls from the dark clouds hanging above Plainmoor. Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson chat about the two contrasting games since last week's Pod - the 5-1 home win against Welling United, and Tuesday night's dismal defeat at Weston-super-Mare, where the air turned blue and things got toxic. We chat to Gary Johnson about those games, and Guy a...

Another week, another podcast - and as usual there is much to discuss. Like, for example, did Mark Halstead have the ball under control when it was kicked out of his hands for that controversial goal against Maidstone United on Saturday? After playing like triffids in the first half, Torquay were more shrinking violets in the second - and in the end they lost 2-0 to go out of the FA Cup. The two g...

It's something of a hybrid podcast this week, with Richard Hughes and David Thomas both absent and Guy Henderson holding the fort. But that doesn't mean there isn't much to discuss. We begin at Seale Hayne with Gary Johnson's weekly press conference. We find him on good form, looking forward again to the FA Cup as he always does. He tells us about the enduring magic of the cup, and how good it was...

It's the Gaffer's birthday edition of the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast - so Happy Birthday Gary Johnson, and let's hope you have a good one, with a great day of training today, and a big cake tonight. The Podcasters talk to the manager after last weekend's disappointing defeat at Hemel Hempstead Town, and ahead of this Saturday's FA Cup game at home to Hungerford Town. Asa Hall took back his...

On a wet day in Devon, Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes get together 'down the line' for this week's Podcast - and there is much to discuss. We hear from Torquay manager Gary Johnson at a Seale Hayne training ground pummeled by rain, while we also hear comedian and Torquay fan Charlie Baker in conversation with Guy. He talks about the Gulls season so far and his upcoming show at Babbacombe Theatre...

Did anyone mention the FA Cup? It's that week when Torquay United start out on the Road to Wembley, which will obviously end up next May with a big match against Manchester City - or something like that! But before that, the Gulls need to do a job at Wimborne Town on Saturday - a team managed by legend Tim Sills, who once scored a cracking goal for Torquay at England's home of football... This wee...

What a week - one awful performance and a brilliant one. The ups and downs of being a Torquay United fan. Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes are in the car studio for this week's Podcast - stuck in a crowded Seale Hayne car park. The games against Aveley (bad) and Farnborough (good) are picked apart, and we hear from assistant manager Aaron Downes, who was the man behind the microphone at the press...

Hello again - the Podcasters are back with Guy Henderson joining Richard Hughes in the Paignton studio after enjoying a week away in the sun. On the agenda today is Sough, Braintree - and four wins on the trot. The Gaffer talks in his usual Thursday press conference and as the rain falls outside Guy and Richard discuss both of the Bank Holiday weekend games, and another one on a plastic pitch at A...

Guy Henderson took the Podcast outside this afternoon when he had a chat with some guests at Torquay United's season ticket holder training session at Plainmoor, while Richard Hughes (being a free-loading journo) was left at home doing the housework. We hear from life president Mervyn Benney, fans Julian Head and Bob Coles, and assistant manager Aaron Downes from the open session - and get their t...

Hello again from the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcasters, who return after a three-week summer break to chew over the fat of pre-season. Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson talk about how the new Torquay United squad is shaping up - and how it has coped so far in two behind-closed-doors friendlies, and against Plymouth Argyle. It is interesting times following that positive 1-1 draw against Argyle,...

The Podcasters become a trio again as David Thomas joins Guy Henderson and Richard Hughes in the garden of the Paignton studio. You would think - with little news coming out of Plainmoor before the return of the players next Thursday - there was little to chat about, but with David being in the studio, there was much to discuss. Darren Moore's shock departure from Sheffield Wednesday, and the posi...

We are slap bang in the middle of the quiet time really, aren't we? Signings are more or less done, and only a few weeks before the players get back for pre-season training, so for the Podcasters material is in short supply. However, the birds enjoyed listening to the two old men talking their way through the issues of the day while drinking coffee in a sunny garden - and we get the final four tea...

In this week's Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast Guy Henderson is subjected to Richard Hughes' childish theme tune antics as he labours the Lewis Collins joke for another week. Don't worry, he will get bored of it soon. After the winger signed for Torquay last week, the hardly-dynamic duo muse over the quality of Gary Johnson's squad for the National League South season, and once again they look...

This week's Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast goes back to nature, insofar as Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson are sitting outside in the sunshine in Babbacombe while the birds sing their songs around them. There is quite a lot to discuss, but after a couple of weeks of signings, there are no new players in the past seven days to talk about. There are many ex-players though, and Guy's looks at an...

It's been a good week for Torquay United with two more signings announced - Jack Stobbs and Bradley Ash - and the Podcasters take a look at what that means to Gary Johnson's growing squad. The dogs get involved as Richard Hughes and Guy Henderson talk about the squad, and some speculation surrounding assistant manager Aaron Downes, and where Torquay might be playing their friendlies after it turne...

Here comes the summer, Podcast fans - just look at the weather. It couldn't be more summery, right? While the players and the Gaffer enjoy their break, there is no such thing for the Podcasters as Richard Hughes joins Guy Henderson in the Paignton studio for more tomfoolery and high jinx. Expect chat about the four new signings - Mark Halstead, Tom Lapslie, Kevin Dawson and Ollie Tomlinson. Some g...

There's a buoyant mood in the camp after Tuesday night's win at Boreham Wood, and Gary Johnson fills us in on who's in and who's out. But as all football fans know, it's the hope that kills you at this time of the season. We chat about the pressure building on the Gulls, take a trip down Memory Lane to a memorable play-off clash with Saturday's opponents and read a bedtime story for you late-night...
