Torquay United pride park themselves on remaining debt-free despite the debacle of the ITV Digital collapse. 'Penny-wise and pound-foolish' was an oft-repeated observation of things at Plainmoor, particularly under the chairmanship of Mike Bateson who was widely criticised by fans and media for lack of investment and for shutting down the reserve and youth teams at the club to save money when in fact they were making money from selling a couple of players a year. Torquay's traditional rivals are fellow Devon clubs Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City. However the latter has always been the fiercer rivalry as Argyle have tended to be in a higher division throughout their history and so the two teams rarely meet. |
