Don't know if this is new news or not, it's the 1st I've seen. Nothing against the principle of it, pissed off to read they'll be sitting in blocks 17-18. Fxck modern football!

This'll be one of the fantastic "firsts in world football" the Pres was salivating about. Rolling Eyes

It may be a first all right - and for good reason. No other club in their right mind and with any thought for matchday atmosphere would dream of putting a mixed family area in no mans land between opposing fans.

By definition, family stand regulars are, by and large, a rather conservative sort. It'll be lovely for them to be in the crossfire should we play anyone who brings proper away support. I know that'll only mean a couple of teams in the league, but it pisses me off that the club can negotiate something like this, while sticking two fingers up to all of us who held season-tickets in blocks 15 16 17etc for the last ten years.

Tossers.

Well that sucks.

I specifically bought season tickets for me and #1 son in Block 1 as that's where the family stand has been for a good few years now. #1 son is approaching 5, so I thought a season in the Family area would be a gentle introduction to Argyle. No-one at the ticket office even hinted that the Family area might be moving.

So now it looks like we'll be stuck in the Demport with the Salsa Verde knuckleheads. Or, if we move, we'll be caught in the crossfire when Exeter come to town. Deep joy.

An 'assertive' phone call to the ticket office in the morning is in order, I think.

I've been to many a ground in my time and I've never seen a family area in the segregation area.Its just not done.Family areas are normally tucked away in some far off corner far away from the abuse that away fans normally throw at you.Mind you nothing surprises me at this club anymore,hence why I wont be going next season.

I am sure there are a few candidates.

Can`t wait for us to play exeter. Should be good to watch both sets of fans running towards each other, with the little ones in the middle.

Another great idea from non football people.NOT lol!

Guest

They're putting the disabled fans on the goal line just behind the goalkeepers too. It'll be awesome.

This is fvckd

Social engineering from a club owned by someone who hasn't the first idea about association football. One day, this era will be looked back on as not one of the club's finest.

Where's Tones Coma for some positive spin when you need it?

Probably the same person who thought it was a good idea to put Darren 'less than one season at Argyle and would have been off up the A38 before you could Conference football if we had been relegated' Purse on a mural Home Park

And there's the explanation, I reckon. Having imposed salsa verde on blocks 3 and 4, losing a number of season ticket holders in there - remember we weren't even told, let alone consulted, and that even James Brent said he wouldn't want to sit there - somebody's realised they couldn't leave the families in that end. But blocks 17 and 18 is definitely not a good place to put them.

Seems to me an awful lot of people are losing out because of one idea.

Martin Baker is your man.The guy that looks like Ron Maels in the pop group Sparks.

Perhaps the families are to be a new variety of human shield. Seems like it's all steam ahead for salsa thing. Feels like a Harry/sweep concoction.

Guest

What a feckin stupid decision.
Words cannot express my annoyance.

The Lyndy/Zoo used to be a buzzing and very partisan atmosphere, and they've feckin killed it. What dicks.

I'm all for singing but how can the rest of the ground join in when FV are singing that Whoah Whoah thing conducted by Jim Westlake.

Not run by football fans, for a consumer that as yet we have not identified the correct demographic for, but we'll get back to you with another football first, which no other sane football board would ever bother with....

...and we have other exciting news, ffs

Seems to be another poor decision from the Harry administration. Pasoti and ATD make similar reading on a number of the new 'terrible' ideas which have been poorly thought out. Why isn't the President telling Harry that these are really shit ideas?

Another reason to add to the increasing list of not renewing and sticking to POYD.

This is an example where getting fans' views before making decisions is called for. James Brent should have worked with the Fans Trust immediately on taking over instead of wasting months and boring the pants off everyone (except Tony) setting up the GasBoard. All fans (not just Trust members) could have expressed their opinions via the Trust during last season and these views taken into account when plans for seating were being worked on.

Doesn't say much for those who have Brents ear. He's either not hearing or they are not saying.
