Torquay United Fans Forum

Greetings Gulls , a few of us travelling down from up North at the weekend and making a few days of it. Any recommendations on any decent watering holes and socialising venues for a night out? Read various mixed reviews of Torquay, but surely the place can't be too bad! :~D

Good news for us that your main goal threat will be suspended, but I'm sure it'll still be a close game. Although our results have looked quite indifferent, and nothing too special at times, we are playing well most of the time, and have definitely improved under the new Gaffer.

If anyone fancies a bit of friendly, pre-match banter, feel free to pop along to the Indy forum and say hi.

For football fan experience, live footy, ale, bar maids, meeting home fans, quality of the gaff, it pretty much has it all. Why tell away fans to walk to 'just another same old boozer' when we have something pretty much unique right here at the ground.

How many you reckon you will bring.

I'm not telling away fans to go to another pub, and I did state Jim's Bar is without doubt one of the best set-ups for a footy bar. I was just pointing out that pints aren't the greatest - well the Lager isn't anyway. And just stating that all the barmaids in the photo don't work in Jim's anymore.

As for fans going to just another same old boozer, don't most of us do that when going to away towns - ie. always find a Wetherspoons???

Greetings peeps . Jim's Bar is without doubt one of the best set-ups for a footy bar, but don't expect a decent pint, and you've no chance of seeing any of those barmaids in that picture! That pic was taken some time ago, and all the decent barmaids now work in the hospitality suites. The town centre is only 10mins walk at most from the away end, and there's a very decent Wetherspoons, and another very good pub opposite - The Wyre Light. Hope you all have a safe journey up and enjoy your visit to Fleetwood - but not the result!

Only for the reason I was hoping for an away day on the opening Saturday. :~D

At least playing yourselves will give us a good indication as to the standard of the better sides of the division.

Greetings from the Cod Army! Hopefully, everyone will enjoy their visit to Highbury for the season opener on the 18th August, and we'll have plenty of banter in the coming weeks leading to the big ko!
