East Devon for me and although it has taken a few years, it does feel like home now. And I never thought, growing up fiercely loyal to Torbay and South Devon, that one day I would much prefer this part of the county.

Proud to have doubled the Midlands tally with Stratford on Avon. Come on the Warwick boys, where are you?

Kingsteignton as well, but I lived and worked for about ten years in Exeter. I love everything about that City except the traffic and the football team.

Used to live right next to Sid James in fact and spent many a Friday night walk home after the pub, using the old grandstand turnstile as a urinal! He he. Happy times.....
Mmmmmm, beeeeeeeer.

Born in Torquay (shrub lands - for those of a long memory). Lived in Upton initially, then moved to the top of Babbacombe, gran lived 150 yards from Plainmoor where I spent my formative years! Married and then lived in Newton Abbot then Kingsteinton before moving North to Manchester, then Warminster, Bath and North of Bristol (Frampton Cotterell - GlousterGull....posher than Yate!) moved to Adelaide in 2005 and been here since. Get back to Plainmoor at least once a season and looks like I'll be there for the York City game

Give it time, there are loads of Gulls abroad if the poll is anything to go by! (well at least 8) :)
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

Never lived in Torquay - Parents moved down there in 1980 Mum working at Torbay Hospital. Introduced me to a nurse who became ( and still is) my wife in 1982.
Father in law -see Tribute to a Missing Fan - dragged me down to Plainmoor. Really took off my support one year when the Gulls played lot of games in the Midlands - Notts County, Port Vale, Cheltenham and I was hooked.

Never lived in Torquay. Grandfather from Paignton went to Plainmoor as a lad in the 1920's and was hooked for life. Had the family choice of Reading or Torquay as a lad. Chose the right path.
