......I thought that I would show you all an old pic of our lovely old Grandstand before the fire, and when we had a bigger ground than you excretians (The RECORDS show this to be true)......Yes Torquay had the biggest ground in Devon and the 2nd biggest ground in Devon and Cornwall. FACT.

I 4-1 forgive BTI for looking decades into the past at Torquay's erm...heyday.

It helps him to forget about the painful present and how they have spent at least TWO, yes, TWO seasons in the basement. Going today BTI?

Why two years? After being taken over by a bunch of rich lottery winners, what stopped them getting promoted at the first attempt?
