The one next to Torre station? The only one I think. That's where we'll be too. Town songs at 4am Saturday I heard.


We've got Jason Pearcey, number one, we've got the best team in the land...

I'll be meeting a couple of Torquay fans I know in Boots & Laces at the ground at 1.30pm. Met them last time we played there 5 years or so ago and meeting up again for the first time since.

It's a cracking club/pub which is part of the ground and well worth a visit for a couple of pre-match pints or so as they welcome away fans.

Saturday night will be an evening out around the harbour/quay area.

I have been warned though for those traveling on the day, there are major roadworks around Newton Abbot so allow a bit extra for time.

Don't know where it is mate we will just bang the postcode in the sat nav and set to Delorian to autopilot!
If it's of any use to anyone, i've spoken to a couple of peeps down there. They recommend Sharpes, St Austells Brewery, and Plymouth
Also, and i quote......
"In Torquay you have the main shopping drag near harbour which has The Rock Garden which is new or a Wetherspoons The Green Ginger. They're on 1 side and there are pubs other side too. There's a few places right by the harbour too, then round corner from Debenhams there's another Wetherspoons. Near this Wethers across the road up a side street there's a really old pub called 'Hole in the Wall' if you like small pokey places. (Nice real ales in here lol)

Babbacombe downs is not too far from football ground, there's a few places along there.

If you venture over to Paignton there are some down the main Street towards seafront there or couple of big places along the seafront opposite the beach. "

That's where we ended up having something to eat on the Saturday evening the last time we played there. There were loads of restaurants of all different cuisines on the main road but every single one of them was absolutely packed and not one had a spare table for at least an hour. Don't know if its going to be that busy again this Saturday.

The food in The Hole In The Wall was superb though.
