ollywhyte Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Just browsing on Pasoti and stumbled across this. Always interesting to see other fans perception on our new setup, all very positive and impressed! http://www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=100455&sid=21fcc5f49c28e5d34d674486516088e5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Also important to note that it is a stadium for the City of Bristol and is not Bristol City's stadium. It is heavily supported by the City Council and is also shared with Bristol Rugby. Someone got their facts sadly wrong !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'd like to know why they think we're subsidised by the Council though. They also think Steve Lansdown's been a "Lifelong" supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsi2 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 One incorrect statement on their is that it is a stadium for the city of Bristol and gets lots of support from the council. I was pretty sure the council have given us **** all assistance and Steve Lansdown has pretty much have to do it all on his own!!!! Correct me if I am wrong.

Lord Northski Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Glad they all seemed to like the ground. Always quite liked their ground TBH. They believe we didn't get planning permission for the stadium. No mention that a village idiot was put in charge of the village green enquiry. As you can tell, I'm still not over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARJ Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think we should take positives away from these comments rather than ridicule the inaccuracies. Obviously Argyle fans don't know the ins and outs of our situation, hence the 'lifelong' and 'joint ownership' comments, but we should take pride that our stadium is now something of envy for other clubs. We are a very lucky club indeed to have all these new facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 They're trying to redevelop their old Mayflower stand but some ridiculously low budget was quoted at one time. If they expect a stand akin to the Lansdown, they may need to add a 2 to their original budget which was £6M IIRC. Apart from the naughtiness in the 80s at home park, I've got no issue with Argyle, good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think someone must have read 'Bristol Sport' somewhere and decided it was 'Sport for Bristol' which to be fair does sound like a Council backed scheme. Sounds like a genuine error to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they think Bristol Sport is another name for the Bristol City Council. In general, they were complimentary except about the absolutely crap PA system, which I don't even try to listen to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Plymouth and ourselves should aspire to be PL as both clubs have potential - not suggesting either of us are anywhere close right now but it shouldn't be out of the question when you consider what the likes of Bournemouth, Brighton, Hull have achieved. Incidentally, Plymouth is now the biggest city in England never to have hosted top-flight football, although Man U did play a cup winners' cup tie there in the 70s as a punishment for crowd trouble in the first leg at St Etienne.

The problem with the Mayflower Stand is that some of it is listed I think and they can only redevelop around it. They have been exploring the possibilities for a while now and have finally settled on a scheme I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Decent club Argyle, certainly had some moments with them over the years, could be quite a nasty place to visit a while back, 2nd biggest club in the South West without a doubt and not up their own backsides like some we could mention and their away support is impressive considering the distances they have to travel not unusual for them to leave Plymouth at 5 or 6 in the morning.
