It's never dull being a Gull

Today (27 April 2013) Torquay United once again confirmed their status as a Football League club on the last day of the season.

It would appear that Torquay United do not do mediocrity, and like to ensure a thrilling end to each season by either challenging for promotion or fighting relegation.

The league history for the Gulls is available here, but this is the record for the last ten seasons:
