the mini tour final was Luton but I thought we avoided that and went back to play Scunthorpe.


yeah just bothered to look at good old cod almighty and we won all our games in the errea cup and then flipped off back to lose against Scunthorpe in the lincs cup.

I'd forgotten about Barnstaple....recently visited there already three sheets to the wind but still thought it was a bit of a dive.

Stayed in Barnstaple too mate about 2 months ago. Agree very disappointed with it, though the hotel (park hotel) was pretty damn good. The other place we thought was shite was ilfracombe.

Does make me laugh that ar5eholes in the south think you are mad when ordering haddock

I did the Tarka ale trail starting from Yeomath (had done the Exeter pubs the night before, both great pubs) which was flipping awful for a pub crawl. The first pub in Yeomath was actually alright and I'd happily go back...but it's a request stop on the train. Then the next two stops we couldn't get to because the trains would only stop there about twice a day...which left the pubs of Barnstaple....which, pardon my francaise...were shiiiite. The Reform Inn brewery was a disgrace.

If you go to the right places north Devon is great for holidays, beach days out etc.. But regards Barnstaple I agree it isn't anything special.. Although I have to defend illfracombe as I've had a few days out their and a couple of sun holidays and enjoyed it every time.

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?


I love a good old positive post on the fishy 😊

Was it in the pre season Devon tour, that one of the Grimsby town staff, got very drunk and ran down the corridors of the team hotel, naked, setting of fire alarms, with a sausage where the sun don’t shine ?

South Devon is a beautiful area. I had a pub down there many years ago in a village called Stoke Gabriel just outside Paignton. Great times !!!
