Hooray! Another US-based Gull. We should start a club. I think there's 3 of us now

You don't count :~D
This now must make a meeting point in southern MO or GA? (central point) Any Hawaiian Gulls out there?

Hi All
Did a quick post after the sensational win on Tuesday and in the excitement of the moment did not do the etiquette thing and introduce myself properly. My thanks to Southampton gull for a lovely response BTW.
Have been a TUFC supporter since a visit in 2004, and finally got around to joining the forum late last year. Too shy to post until this week. One side of the family is from Torquay (about 100 years ago) so I feel I sort of belong? Hence the 'Heritage' moniker. We all live in Adelaide, South Australia.
I'm a Sports Dietitian, so if the lads need some nutrition advice from afar, happy to oblige. I have worked with footballers here in Oz, but wrong type of football for your liking I suspect. Not sure how long distance nutrition would work anyway.
One question...is Aussie really a (misplaced) Aussie?
Cheers to all at TQ.

Nice introduction and Adelaide happens to be on my to do list as I have good friends there, glad to have you aboard
As for Aussie, we think of him as misplaced full stop
He's what we call a rough diamond I guess, bless his cottons.

Welcome to the site....got family over in Oz (as well as NZ) so hope to visit upside down land at some point in the future....mind you getting to Torquay is expensive enough already, without adding on costs of getting slightly further....

Thanks for the welcome!
Poor Aussie...as along as he is just misplaced and not lost
Nice to hear Adelaide is of interest. Quite seriously, happy to show visitors around when you visit...wineries only 1/2 hour away and some nice breweries (Coopers) too. Please be in touch if you make the trip. It doesn't need to be too expensive Scott, but the long haul flight IS a pain in the backside (literally).
Looking forward to Saturdays' game. Another win on the way to the top. COYY!!

I guess it depends what you class as expensive or not!!

Probably costs about the same to get to Torquay from the channel islands as it does to Oz? 
Some good cheap airfares available....if you travel in the TUFC off-season, VERY cheap airfares to Oz (our Winter, but no snow or sleet). NZ is just a hop across 'the ditch' after that. (£)

Aussie ma-ate, Melbourne is a great city. Football Mecca as you know! At least you are not a Collingwood supporter. Hawks are acceptable. Sorry to hear about your back injury. Ice and drugs (not one and the same =D) should fix you. Hope you are up & about by Saturday for the next big win. Go the yellows

Hey all,
Glad to be a part of this board for fan's, i'm new back to football after a 25 year break, i used to go to every home game with my Grandad up to the age of 7 and when he died i lost the love of football becuase of that, it's only the last year or so i have got back into it and am now an avid Torquay supporter, i try and get to every home game i can when work doesn't get in the way. I have lived in the bay all my life only travelling away serving in the Royal Navy and now the British Army as homeland Security so luckily enough i don't go outside England anymore. As for my user name (tattooedjackass) i got that from being very good friends with a certain member of the Jackass group (TV show/ movies) for some of the oldies! and that i'm heavily tattooed.
Anyway thanks for letting me be a part of your message board and i hope to spend alot of time here...
