Looking forward to this one very much. Did someone say that histrorically Town fans consume excessive amounts of the local palm tree juice when visiting the bay? Guess I'll be bumping into most of you in various states of distress on Fri/Sat night.

Is that 'The Yacht' Pilch? Think a few folks mentioned the Cider Press as a popular STFC hangout in recent years.

Probably going (I have to assess my students' coursework first and plan 6 lessons as I am being observed next week!) - staying in Totnes with my old pal (Robin Breeze) from Harlescott Grange who has emigrated south. We will be supping ample supplies of Doombar!

Very jealous of all those making the trip always a good weekend. Hopefully generate some decent noise under the low roof in the Babbacombe end and fingers crossed for a better result this year.

I'd advise caution when it comes to the Paignton Travelogde. I stayed there on business last month and it was a world of pain.
There was a constant dripping noise that was so loud that it woke me at midnight, so I the trouble to rouse myself and turned of all the possible sources of water (more than you might think), which seemed to do the trick. Little did I know the noise would return to haunt me. I never did discover the cause. On the second night, the raucous bunch residing in the same fine establishment as me, seemed to think it would be terribly funny to set off the fire alarm at 2:17am. Needless to say, there were some unhappy folk standing around in the carpark for a very cold half an hour.
Don't even get my started on the in flight entertainment...

We are down tomorrow Mark. Should be there lunch time and will be round Babbacombe Downs Friday (Bucaneer, Royal) Saturday night have a think about Molloy's in St Marychurch, near the ground as per thread I did earlier in the week and see Hayden's band playing, which should be good. We will definitely be heading to the Hole in the Wall and Devon Arms at some point (probably Sunday as we don't return til Monday) Can't wait now - one more sleep to Torquay & bag all packed

We are down tomorrow Mark. Just had an idea, Chris. Perhaps we could ask our Scots and Welsh supporters to bring down some of their free prescription hangover cures.
