LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Could of put something instead of a "?" Where To Drink? The supporters club 'Boots & Laces' behind the main stand allows away supporters in and I found it quite pleasant and friendly. Simon Blogg recommends 'O'Connors' near the ground. This Irish themed pub is around a five minute walk from the home end on Marychurch Road and was popular with away fans on my last visit. To find this pub; then with the home end behind you, turn right and continue in this direction until you reach Marychurch Road. Turn left along this road keeping Somerfield on your right and you will see the pub further down on the left.
1964FOX Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 If there early enough go to the quay area, meeting several down there for a few drinks pre match.
Bayfox Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 boots is ok but will be busy. town has the usuals hogshead lloyds etc. if weather nice try the seafront and pay the taxi fare at 7ish.
PAULCFC Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Not going to this,but seem to remember a spoons facing the harbour and the town is not far away.
Jace Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Cafe Mambo with the balcony looking over the Harbour is best in my opinion or the Spoons is actually quite decent for a Spoons right next to each other anyway
anotherharboroughfox Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 You going AHF? don't think so Tuesday evenings not really doable for me.
HEGGSY Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Same pal although I'm going Charlton so Only reason I ask is because I seem to recall you have a real liking for getting absolutely pissed up at grounds with a terrace

Hopefully get Peterborough done again though! and a fair few other aways done too
kingfox Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Get your car, go to Paignton stay in Paignton, and just go to Torquay for the match. Sit on the sea front at Paignton, look over at Torquay with chips and coke in your hand and take in the glorious English Riviera.

Jace Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 There is a big multi storey Car Park on the harbour next to Cafe Mambo and Spoons btw if anyone doesn't know bit of a way out from the ground though, Travelodge is very decent in Torquay if anyone is still looking for place to stay far better than some of the run down hotels there
Sods Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 Just about to set off will be around the harbour for next 48 hours.
Jace Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 Just about to set off will be around the harbour for next 48 hours. You staying 2 nights? Weathers bad here in Cornwall so probably the same in Devon atm!
kingfox Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 That actually does sound very tempting! Shame I'm at work.. I would do it in a click of a finger...if I could drive that is. Absolutely glorious down there, beautiful places is the trio of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. But Paignton is the best!!!

Absolutely glorious down there, beautiful places is the trio of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. But Paignton is the best!!! Are you sure, torquay is full of people from manchester and liverpool living of benefits and that is the view of a lot of the locals down there, not just mine. Paignton has a nice green and seafront but the actual town is a real hole, never felt so uncomfortable on a night out anywhere in the Uk as i did in paignton and it was out of season so wasn't holiday makers is was the locals. Brixham is actually quite nice, pretty in it's own way, the torbay area could be so nice but it has been ruined, I know the council are doing their best to try and improve the image, such as with the rebuilding of Torquay Seafront etc, but I really wouldn't say any of it is beautiful as it stands. that said I am looking forward to catching up with my family and friends from down that way and watching the city play. however being in the away end will seem strange. as i'm normally on the popside when at plainmoor.
Uncle Phil Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 Looking forward to this, I'll probably take a walk down to the seafront after work and try and hunt down some city shirts. .
southdevonfox Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 Looking forward to this, I'll probably take a walk down to the seafront after work and try and hunt down some city shirts. . see you all around the town then , how many coming down ?

If you go to the right places it's very nice. Torquay is big, but if you keep in the right places like I did it should be ok. Paignton is awesome it has everything you want from a British seaside place, I enjoyed my holiday's down there. If you stay in the right places again of course.
Guest Col city fan Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 Wheres that to? Just follow 'The Major' and you'll find it Or Basil the rat..
