A YOUGOV poll has revealed the characteristics of the quintessential Torquay United fan.

The market research firm has stressed that the survey responses do not form a portrait of â€˜typicalâ€™ or â€˜averageâ€™ Torquay United fans, but an indication of what is more likely to be true of them than of fans of another football team.

Well I shop at Lidl and am quite partial to Denise Van Outen-pretty much everything else is way off!

4 out of 20 - perhaps I'm not really the supporter I thought I was, despite having been watching since the early 70s and having been a season ticket holder for the last 10!
