I was ****** last year, but I swear some coaches took us from these pubs to the ground?

Hope you paid your £2, yeah Wetherspoons in town's probably the best place to head although the last couple of times I've been in there it's taken an age to get a beer. There'll be lots of Vale fand about so I'm sure that wherever you go there'll be some about.

The Internet Football Ground Guide recommends the George Inn on Babbacombe Road if you're looking for a few drinks much nearer the ground.

 

The Buccaneer Inn at the bottom of Princes Street is also recommended aswell near the ground.

the dog and duck in babbacombe is not too bad and a short stroll from the ground. the scrimmies coaches picked up outside the spoons last year but it was chaotic as the stated time for departure did not happen as there was a few who could not resist another pint, making it very frustrating for those on the coach who had plans to have a drink nearer to the ground. also the coach must have had 120 people on it on the way back down after the match, maybe a little dangerous but nobody bothered and most returned to the spoons.

The pubs near the ground are a bit rubbish IIRC.

 

Go the Offy and get some cans to drink while you walk up the hill to the ground.

Having lived in Torbados I can say there are no pubs on the walk fron Torre to the ground.The only pubs will be those others have mentioned near the ground or in Babbacombe.My advice would be plusbus your train ticket..stay on train to Torquay and get no 12 bus to the harbour.or just taxi or walk to harbour.

we went a pub last year by the ground, it was like a scene from channels 4's shameless, good laugh though

[falmouthssoberist]

sounds like my sort of pub tisdeano....can you remember what it was called

[tisdeano]

no, i was battered, but it was only a short walk [or push] we came across it by accident
