    Well, it's not just foreign owners who can royally f*ck up a club. Rather disturbing that things there started to go pear shaped after the club's supporter owner died, and they were handed over to a fans' consortium who basically had no idea how to run a football club.

    This blog is very well written by a Lincoln fan, but outlines their plight very clearly. Feel free to sign the petition. I'm sure there's a lot of good feeling towards Torquay from Barnsley fans, bearing in mind that one of our favourite players came from there.

    . The club had become too reliant on the steady flow of money from their rich patrons, and when that well ran dry the fragile business model was exposed.

    Get that money spent Patrick
