As for places to stay there are too many to mention. There are some up by the ground but it's a good 30minute walk from the harbour/front. I would advise searching out a B&B down the bottom of the Babbacombe Road. There are about 7 or 8 in a row, we stayed at one earlier in the year 'Hotel Barton' which was easily good enough. As for the usual fair, no Jury's but there is a Premier Inn near to Torquay station.

Note if you are going by train, the nearest station is Torre. (About 20minute walk) Torquay station is a good 40minute walk or so to Plainmoor.

LOL @ thinking there is going to be a massive demand for tickets for this one just because a dozen goons on Hob Nob declare their interest in attending.

Starry Blue Hooped Wonder Excellent draw as I'm down in Dawlish for the first two weeks of August.

Just got to persuade the missus to let me and my son out for the evening.


Excellent steam rally in the area when you are there.

September 1991. I can't recall who got the other - either McGhee or Scott Taylor....but it was in front of the travelling hordes.

Some cracking pubs down in Torquay. I know the place pretty well, so if anyone wants
names of decent pre-match boozers...I am happy to post on here.


Please post names of decent pre-match boozers.
Do you know anywhere cheap to stay to sleep off the booze before the drive back to reading for 9am?!

Torquay looks awesome! http://www.holidayrentalstorquay.com.au ... rquay.html


Not sure if this is a woosh, but that Torquay is in Australia.

The beach in the photo is Bells Beach, made famous in the great movie "Point Break"

Can even stay at Hotel GlenEagles which was the inspiration for Fawlty Towers, it's up near the ground. The owner was probably a TUFC season ticket holder, hence his madness and sheer anger towards everyone in the world.

Is anyone else considering taking in Exeter v Ipswich on Tuesday. If taking Wednesday off, you could bomb down to Devon for 7-45 and then spend the next day on Torqauy beach before our game.

Might be good to get a crowd in royals shirts, or perhaps go incognito and hit the away end "KEANE OUT!"...
