Being totally selfish, wouldn't it be better for us if they stay down? Would a league 2 team want our youth players?
Agreed. Randell might make the step up to League Two but not many others would.
It is in Argyle's interests that Torquay stay where they are.
I think you are correct. If Torquay gained League status I expect a good few spectators who live in that direction could well drift back to them and forsake Argyle, which would reduce average gate proceeds. I also think their present status is ideal for young Argyle players to play for on loan basis. viz. Adam Randell and Law.
Very petty and parochial to not want to see Torquay back in the FL.
Before Randell, which Argyle youngster had a successful loan spell at Plaimoor?
I doubt there's very many fans in the South Brent/Totnes/Newton Abbott areas torn between us and them.
Truro City or even Parkway are good clubs to give youngsters experience of Senior football. If Argyle do get back to the Championship, a local League 2 club would be a good option for us to loan young players.
Having 3 FL clubs in Devon makes us look a little less isolated as the most westerly outpost.
