‘The Gulls Need You’: United rally fans for crucial home run

Torquay United have put out a ‘We Need You’ message to fans as the Gulls enter one of the most important periods of their promotion campaign - with ‘Fortress Plainmoor’ having a major say on their fortunes.

A United spokesman said: “With United right in the thick of the battle for promotion at the top of National League South, we're calling on the Yellow Army to #GetBehindTheGulls with a fantastic new ticket incentive that will help fans do just that.”

As The Gulls head into the final third of the 2025/26 campaign, the quest for promotion back to non-League football's top tier is set to enter its most decisive period yet, with Paul Wotton's men facing a massive month at Plainmoor.

Having been in and around the top spaces all season, the ultimate destiny for Torquay's ambitions could well hinge on the team’s home form during the run-in.

After successive postponements forced the rescheduling of the Farnborough and Dorking fixtures, United have been dealt with a schedule unlike any other in recent memory.

From February 28 to March 28, Wotton's side will play eight crucial National League South fixtures - with six of these matches being at Plainmoor.

“This means that over a quarter of the season's entire home fixtures will take place during a four-week period, making March a potentially make-or-break month for the club's promotion aspirations. The Gulls Need You,” said the spokesman.

Fortress Plainmoor has played a significant role so far this season with the fervent backing of the Yellow Army helping United to 10 wins from 15 outings with just 2 defeats.

The official added: “The prize of promotion is certainly up for grabs, and if Torquay can maintain that impressive form in front of their devoted home supporters until the end of the campaign, then there could well be celebrations on the English Riviera come Spring.

Put simply, we really can't do this without the support of our local community.”

Rescheduling of back-to-back home matches has caused a few financial headaches for those behind the scenes at United, but they also appreciate that some fans will also be feeling the pinch in the face of such a packed fixture list.

The club has decided to come up with a couple of packages to support fans.
