NOTBLUE Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 6 hours ago, RedRock said: Think Council’s in the past had the power to CPO land ‘for the proper planning of the area’. Uncertain whether that power still exists. If the ‘Sporting Quarter and the Region’s premier entertainment facility was fully backed by the local Councils, with a bit of creative thinking, that power - or others available in the administrative toolbox - could prove to have some leverage in the matter. I’ve always found where there’s a will, there is invariably a way. Seems to me that nobody can be arsed to put any effort in to resolving the issue or supporting the only real decent sporting and entertainment facility in the South West. Typical of the mentality of those in control. Compare and contrast the relative ease by which Exeter Chief’s Sandy Park gets supported….major pedestrian road bridge and link to nearby station, junction works, hotel, close P&R, trains, entertainment licences, stadium development …the list goes on. Ever tried to park near the football ground in Exeter,the rugby ground was built on a more or less blank canvas,so not as straight forward as you say.

Mayes86 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Jesus Christ that article is making out their about to sign Bobby Moore in his prime.

He’s 35 next season, so my guess is he has been offered longer by them than by Plymouth. He’s from this part of the world (Chepstow) so makes sense, plus he’s going to find League One a darn sight easier than the Championship these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, had a look on their forum and it’s a ‘statement of intent’ apparently…. Hes 34 and just wants to move home. And will probably no doubt be one of their top earners!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it sound like Argyle were desperate to keep a 34 year old defender with very limited Championship experience. I am surprised they haven't gone down the route of saying how it's put our noses out of joint and we are all fuming about him going there. How low have you fallen boys? Taking a player we rejected as a lad in the final stages of his career and acting like it's a coup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a player we rejected as a lad in the final stages of his career and acting like it's a coup. Yes, some coup. From the bare facts Plymouth were happy to keep him on as a reserve defender for another year but were offering lower wages than a mid-table L1 club was prepared to pay. I doubt that Plymouth's manager will be crying himself to sleep tonight as the "second major piece" of his team departs. The 34-year-old is out of contract at Home Park this summer and the Gas have presented him with a longer and more financially appealing contract than the one offered to him by Plymouth who could now lose the second major piece of their title-winning side after Niall Ennis joined Blackburn Rovers last month. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 You can just feel the bitterness in the air from over the river. 3 great signings, 2 for solid money, and already rumours of a 4th. Their first marquee signing is a 34 year old who probably only wants to be there to be closer to home. Only 12 more signings to go for our Joe. Pre-season camp meals will be cheap for the club to put together at this rate, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I think you are all missing the advantages of signing a 34 year old. No good signing a promising 24 yo who can't handle an allen key and flat pack furniture. The new stand must be due for delivery any time now and a 34 yo will have had experience in getting by when the diagrams don't match the parts. Great signing. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to viewing the Stand Cam similar to what we had for the ground redevelopment and the HPC.
