I do like fancy donuts, but I like Plainmoor. I like to drive across the country (USA) but it takes ages... maybe I should take a Plainmoor. Since my injury I can hardly play footy, I miss when I was Plainmoor.
OK, enough. This stadium is awful and ramshackle and falling apart, but it's a few blocks from the sea and that rescues it and gets it a 3! Rival fans hate coming here though because the facilities are so awful.
First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've watched Torquay play here only once - in 2007 - although I returned to this little place in 2011 and 2014 when on tour, not to see any games though. It's such a run down old stadium and honestly, it's lucky to get a 3. I just like the team so much, I suppose.
I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia!

The stadium holds 6,200 and is called Plainmoor and is just a short walk from the ocean. They are known as the Gulls, and who doesn't love Seagulls anyway? read more
