I'm Neil, I'm 30 & a diehard Gulls fan, now exiled in the far reaches of Scotland so no longer get to many games! Crying or Very sad

I collect Torquay memorabilia, Torquay shirts (31) & Torquay programmes (In excess of 1000!)

Used to be a groundhopper too, done a fair few of the English league & got halfway through the Scottish grounds before funds dried up!

Hi Neil, welcome to the Forum. Nice to see a collector from a club not yet present on the forum. My mate's dad used to be a director at Torquay - Tom Lilley, not a money man, think he just wanted to help the club. Had a few lemonades in Boots and Laces in the past!!Is the guy selling programmes still there?I bought a few Forest off him for next to nothing!

Yeah Norman's still there although the programme shop has been relocated in the lane between the ground & the school towards the away end.

Welcome to the forum Neil!

As Mick said, it's good to get a collector of a team that isn't represented yet on the forum!

You'll be in your element on here, especially if you have a passion for programme collecting and the hobby in general itself!

Cheers, hopefully I'll be at Wembley but finances are somewhat low, with prices being somewhat high! (£30-35 to watch the conference playoff final!?! Shocked

Welcome to the boards mate.

Do you have any contact details for Norman? The club were supposed to put me in touch with him a while ago but I didn't hear back from them in the end.
