Well, I think it is fair to ask what is happening. They've gone off half-cocked and announced a concert before they had any idea of how to make it a reality.
I can't think that any promoter wouldn't want to announce well this side of Christmas when they are looking at selling approx 10,000 tickets in a completely unproven market.
Saxondale made some good points on this.
It is another example of the pie in the sky, amateur approach. Much like saying we will be a 'leading light' in sustainability and have the best Academy outside the Premier League.
This is by no means a slam dunk and if they get it wrong, it'll be the playing budget that suffers.
Yeah, a large helping of scepticism is understandable. We don't know the degree of effort that is going into this behind the scenes. I would say that James Watts seems to be doing a decent job on the commercial side of things at the moment and he's got a stint as a Promotions Manager on his CV which is encouraging. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Ah come on, we aren't on the hook with a promoter afaik.
If it's aborted because it's not viable, it doesn't matter.
Something to worry about if they fuck it up. Not now

Well, he ran some nightclub nights and he does profess to be the most successful underground Welsh act of all time ! That was over 12 years ago. |

Plymouth are a blueprint club we can aspire to. I'm sure we all remember that Doyle goal down at home park. Look at the fortunes of the 2 clubs now. They appear to be very well run on and off the field.

Always been the case for us - no success has ever been built upon. All short term, line me pockets while I can, stuff. That’s what I find depressing. 50% of the ground is exactly as it was when I first went in 1968. Shame on them all.

Disregarding Mooneyrakers tongue in cheek comments re. Compensation in January. That is good news and by that I have to assume that Flynn is happy not only with his own personal numeration but, the terms and conditions with which he will have to work with going forward. He has to understand what he is being asked to achieve whilst at the same time knowing what he has at his disposal to achieve it. |

Genuinely really positive news, Flynn perhaps not as grumpy behind the scenes as I'd be in his position. I suppose the difference between him and Morris (well, one of the differences) is that Flynn knows what to expect in the lower leagues and doesn't expect Cobham and staff to cover every possible need. Kudos to the club for sorting this and hopefully players renewing will follow.
