Americans buy 20% of Plymouth Argyle

[Trapdoor]

The Barbican is nice but the town needs to be bulldozed.

To be fair, since the 80's the council have at least been trying to improve things. They are hampered by some problematic areas which cant easily by fixed like the industrial estates and navy base. The grim 70's buildings will all eventually get replaced with time which will help a bit.

Potentially exciting times, as mentioned before - looking at the list of people/investment companies who make up the group that have purchased the 20%, £4million is a relative drop in the ocean to their billions. Shant get carried away for now but praise must go once again to the Chairman for the way he is running this football club. First priorities are surely the training facilities and the finishing of the stadium.

Slightly off topic I know but Plymouth city centre now is an absolute hole unfortunately. The barbican and hoe/seafront are still nice. The issue is the city centre is far too big for the size of the city. Must be more than 50% of the shops are now boarded up - needs knocking down and redesigning with metropolitan lifestlye redesign ie city living apartments and restaurants, bars etc to bring people back into the city centre. I think that's the way they're going but it will take decades. Keep it quiet but when I 'treat' the wife to a days shopping...we go to Exeter .

Nowhere near as loyal as Plymouth!

Sadly you are describing many a UK city/town centre these days. And I agree with you about the best way to resolve the issue.

To be honest, when you're based in Plymouth, what options do you have to go shopping except Exeter? All other options must be a fair trek!

Whenever Chester played Torquay I would go down on the Thursday and return on the Sunday. Barclay Court £30 a night ~~ mint. Always took a trip to Plymouth, usually on the Friday. P & R near the Sainsbury roundabout and a day wandering around. Lunch in Debenhams (with a great view over the city). Sadly we are not in the same league for 4 seasons and Green has seen off Debs.

Well it seems that most of the money will be spent on putting right dodgy work to the grandstand. They love a bottomless pit!

Fixing Argyle grandstand will take large chunk of £4m cash injection

Work on solving egress and ingress problems, and improving seating comfort, will take place at the end of this season

Fantastic restraint that, as we all know what Exeter is like

Coming from someone who's located in Bolton, that can only be a compliment that you think Plymouth is nicer than Exeter.

 

[Devon_Lad]

Its a city and quite nice in my opinion.

Best things the Germans did was abolish them of City status. Where's their cathedral?

We're a city and we don't have a Cathedral...

There's more culture and history in my fridge than Milton Keynes though

Bletchley Park mate, Milton Keynes won World War 2 before it was even a thing.

Seen as you asked, it’s on Wyndham Street West. Postcode is PL1 5ER. Germans didn’t do that good of a job.

Yeah it may not be as grand as yours, but your cesspit needs something to make it worthwhile visiting I suppose.

Taking pleasure in the bombing of a city is a new low.

New PAFC training facilities

Land purchase agreed for new training facilities, assuming this will use up the majority of the cash boost discussed from the US investors.

They always look fantastic, then when they are built, you are left with a bit of disappointment, I speak from experience. But I genuinely hope it goes through

Hardly. World would be a much better place if Plymouth was wiped off the map. Benefit taking, NHS sapping, scruffy criminals.

Are you confusing Plymouth with the Scouse Republic?

Even when built they can be expensive. We've just spent £1m upgrading ours with a new Gym and training pitches.
