The last time we spoke, Paul Wotton was in charge, Torquay hadn't lost 5-0 to Chelmsford and Neil Warnock hadn't managed the Gulls since 1993. All that has now changed and we discuss it all!

Came to this podcast late, but what a great listen. Charlie and Joan have me in stitches every show, apart from the Christmas Kuhl! 😂
I follow Southend Utd and have had to adjust to life in the National League, well until possible liquidation anyway! But that’s another long, sad story.
This is by far my favourite podcast. I have become obsessed with listening to it, in fact I’ve started at the very beginning and am trawling through every episode since the beginning.
Well done Charlie
I’ve resisted following this show and have enjoyed dipped in and out occasionally instead. This was possibly due to the hope of escaping the National league at some point soon! Anyway, this Chesterfield fan (living in Notts - ouch) is here for another season and has now succumbed to following the show .. Good luck to all, especially if you play in blue & white ;)
Not a Torquay podcast. As someone who is not a footy fan, it's my favourite football podcast.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️All you need to know about the National League and a little bit on TUFC
