Unless you are a follower of the Newell sect of course, when we will have the best ground in Devon, and something to be proud of.

both grounds you mentioned are set to be demolished in a few years. well goodison is anyways craven cottage is set for a major revamp. But i agree they have history unlike us. The senior greens have alot to answer for lumbering us with a rehashed stand cause they are too old to embrace change.

Erm no we all have history ours goes back way over a hundred years, trouble is that the history is littered mainly by failure rather than glory, it's a bit like comparing Englands history to that of the welsh.

Mentioned many times about the senior greens.

I remember they were pictured outside the civic centre with Brent when the original fiasco was unveiled.

General conception across PASOTI is that they are a bunch of harmless old coots but the reality is that they (in this case) have been more dangerous than anyone could have imagined.

I remember them well at the Cherry Tree, when their leader was thrown out they left in mass

If anyone seriously thinks the senior greens decided if the revamped stand would be rid of stanchions or not is seriously deluded. The reality is the board took a vote and decided it was not worth saddling the club with the extra few million in debt (loan to Hallett) that it would cost. This was well reported at the time. You honestly think Brent would let the SG's decide how much money the club was going to spend?

Changing rooms area will be tarmac over tomorrow, base went down to day.

Bongo, Grandstand will be open in the last quarter.

Chief Executive Andrew Parkinson has confirmed that the club hopes to have the redeveloped Grandstand open in time for New Year's Day 2020

What i'm getting at is the senior greens were putty in the hands of brent with regards to the whole thing. Just another group of mugs in a line of mugs that made his land grab simple task.

You probably wont agree. because you agree to disagree about just about everything.

The land grab happened (I think) the very day after Brent 'bought' Argyle, and so I doubt that Brent even knew who the SG's were, never mind 'consulted' with them.

..and I disagree a lot with "everything", because of late, this site seems to be under the influence of Harvetheslayer and a few other posters who for the most part do nothing but slag off everything the club does, or promote nonsense that simply isn't true.

Well they obviously colluded with it, if like you say it started to happen a day into his tenure.

You an apologist for the dribbles now Rickler?

You really are quite dense.

I am not apologizing for anything. I am merely relating the facts to you. Why am I not surprised you can't tell the difference.

...and since the SG's (like the rest of us, probably didn't know the land grab was going to happen - as it happened the day after Brent took control) the SG's "Colluded" with Brent about as much as you did.

Yet the Senior dribbles invited Brent on nearly every one of their away coaches, something which he took them up on a couple of times.
Something was going on then because this went on right up until Brent went.
Regardless of when the land grab started, the dribbles where with him since day one, no matter how much he creamed off from the club.

The land grab in it's infancy would probably have started after a meeting with Mr Guilfoyle.

The Senior Greens meeting.

Who can forget it. Brent Asking about ATD , yes this very forum live on video camera.

Senior Greens in unison acting like ****** schoolchildren under the influence of their Rothchild masters command and I quote "Who thinks ATD brings anything positive to Argyle"

Like Brent's opening comments down the Stoke club. Not hello or I'm James ect but "I won't be answering any questions about Ian Newell or Chris Webb"

Brent asked about ATD at a Fans Forum not a Senior Greens meeting which are held on Thursday afternoon.

You'd have to think he asked out of ignorance as I'm sure his PR Guru/Social media sanitizer/chauffeur would have been his first port of call to find anything out about ATD.

Rickler you really are an absolute twat, "under the influence of harve and a few other posters"....you constantly bring me into conversations at any opportunity and yet I simply never do the opposite. You're literally obsessed are you batting for both sides or something ?

As for slagging off the club you'll find just one item where I have in that the club has been appalling over the clusterfuck and yet on multiple occasions I have stated it will be a huge improvement when completed and as recently as last week.
Its a pity the blocking feature doesnt take into account quoted passages

I said the same a few weeks ago. A good way to get a home crowd sell out.

When Brent landed with his 0.06p in the pound to unsecured creditors and deferred back pay to staff, he identified certain sections of the support as being useful. He had Newell desperate to be someone at the club regardless of the clubs status, Webby an opportunist willing to piggy back on anything to get on and the senior greens with the feudalist instincts in forming a praetorian guard around the fine gentlemen. Then you had a totally supine local media

This all led to the utterly incorrect perception that Brent was a philanthropist when nothing could be further from the truth. Thanks to this his 7 years at the club were pretty much plain sailing and he was able to do more or less what the hell he wanted.

And he still rides into the sunset with his pot of loot and his land he got for nothing to build his ice shed on do he can flog the pavilions off for his pension pot.
The senior dribbles ideals of philanthropists are Brent and Newell.... says it all.

I wonder if a close to accurate as possible sum of the amount of cash and monetary value of the land combined could be come up with for the amount he's walked away better off with?
