The Russian Gulls

[RussianGull]

From September I'm going to be living in Russia as part of my degree, so I've been doing some research and I've found the Russian Gulls!

Much in the same vein as the Norwegian Gulls, they post on the Russian version of Facebook and here is their page if any of you guys fancy having a look:

http://vkontakte.ru/torquay_united

Might not interest all of you, but I thought it quite interesting to see how widespread the Gulls fans really are...

Nice to see the name of TUFC being spread so far and wide. They should be able to help you along with the language anyway

All we need to do now is find an English TUFC supporters forum to help SG with his English, have your tried TFF?

Great to see there are so many Torquay fans around the world. Could even get to read a few posts with google translate

I clicked on the link for a read and it's all in Russian ! What use is that ?

Then I see translate in the bar at the top of the pooter. I gives it a click and up it comes in English, bleeding pigeon English !

I did notice the club official site link.

Is the Torquay Fans.com link on their site ?

As I no speaka da Ivan I don't know who to post them a link.

Over to you Russian Gull.

Oh, good stuff. I've been trying to get the Russians in my office to follow Torquay. Maybe this will help.

[RussianGull]

Been talking to two of the chaps for a couple of hours, gave them the link to here but, in the same sense that you guys don't understand Russian, they don't understand English... Good lads though

[happytorq]

got my Russians to take a look. They were...bemused. Turns out that several of the fans there (there are 74) found us through the FIFA video games; there's a thread entitled "how did you become a fan of Torquay United"

They're pretty up-to-date, too; mention of Stanley loan deal, Wroe leaving, Benyon leaving.

This has made my day, thanks.

The guy I was talking to said that since we were on the 2006 Fifa he's been hooked on following us, like you said they know everything..

Tell them they should come over to a game sometime!

[RussianGull]

Aye, they could show the ultras how its really done - a la Zenit St Petersburg =D

[Plymouth Gull]

shame I couldn't find how to translate the page..

russian seems an interesting language though.

Cool, I've come across that site before, good to see it is in use and gets updated then!

Oh if you convince any fellow Russian fans to join on here get them to use a non .ru email address - had to whitelist the .ru domain as so many spammers were using those email addresses.

Don't be a stranger to the site

Some great translations through Google Chrome...
Brian Clough referred to as "frenzied grandmother"!!
