Devon trips are a good omen for a positive season aren’t they?

You got a holiday home down there John?

It’s a shite tour if we’re being realistic, the club embarassed themselves down there a few years ago with Newell and it’s as far away from GY as possible without giving the fans a chance of a decent trip.

Still, when have the old boys network ever given a toss about the fans?

Had a good laugh on the old Errea sponsored tournament, tent got wrecked one night in a howling storm and slept in the car,  found a remote B&B for the last couple of nights recommended by the clubs then coach driver,  and after getting through to the final against Luton turned up at the ground to find out it had been called off as Town had left Devon the night before following serious safety concerns for Newell !!
It was certainly memorable....one of the standouts for me on that tour was a young triallist who stood out but wasnt judged to have met the standard....Nathan Arnold !!!

Genuine question.... Why did we embarrass ourselves?

I got the impression it was because we came up with some sort of excuse about safety in order to get out of the final of the mini tour league in Devon and go back and play Scunthorpe for more potential cash. I may be completely wrong but that's what I thought was the issue.

"Pre season in Devon"

Am I missing something or has this actually been announced ?


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Yeah why don’t they do a tour to Elsham?


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause
