Pasoti News Flash .

"All will be revealed at 2:50ish on Saturday.

No point guessing because it kind of ruins the 'surprise' if I say who it is"

Yes it does, doesn't it, El Presidente?

Maybe you had to show your hand as your 'mate' couldn't help but open his big mouth and give everyone a clue!

This a big deal, is it?

No.

Which is exactly why it should't have been revealed.

Why will anyone want to go now? After all, this surely isn't just a 'one off' publicity stunt is it?

Won't Brent the new football fan now be in the Devonport everyweek?

I'm bloody disappointed now I wanted it to be jedward.

But never mind we have got a big flag

Thought it would be alot better to be honest!

Where's Webby is so nauseatingly Uriah Heap and as for his mate

Would anyone other than an Aviva be at all excited by Jimmy B and chums joining them in the Devonport ?

It's just so nerdy and needy. Forza Verde my arse !

Maybe when Crawley are cruising at 3-0 and people are leaving early brent & co may get a few uncomfortable questions from real fans about the REAL reason we haven't strengthened and why brent hasn't sacked and replaced fletcher instead of poncing about trying to find him a 'mentor'.

We are a joke

BRENT OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

If that's the scenario, so be it, I'll raise a wry smile but I am (once again) travelling in the hope of seeing us win. Some vestige of optimism lurks deep in my bones. My son will be joining us in the Cherry Tree but in reply to my query as to whether he would accompany me to the match...the reply came "I'm not wasting another twenty quid on that shit!" He's a clever lad.

Good, I'm in block 6 so I know which direction to swear at.

Anyone just happy for the board to be the board. It was something perhaps when Peter Jones et al took their place with the fans after Luggy left or Nic Warren always and genuinely being in the Devonport end but I find this all a bit much. Of little interest to me to be honest but I guess no harm done if others get off on it.

The circus has come to town.

edited to add: Sorry, just came across this again - written when I was knackered last night - the words were a quote from the response to this on another site.

And we've got the biggest of the whole circus world!

The board sat in the Devonport.......i can feel the excitement coursing through my veins!!

I hope they all have their aviva scarves and hymn sheets song sheets.

This is getting more and more cringeworthy by the week, I can imagine the old devonport end of the 70's/80's/90's would've had none of this crap going on.

Moist was right, it's like one big circus! What happened to turning up at 2:45 after having a few pints in the Brit and enjoying a game of football, chanting what you want and being able to walk into the ground without it seeming like an organised choir performance!

Atleast Brent and co will be nice and close to hear any racist chanting coming from the area though.........

I wonder if Nic Warren has been following all this, possibly with something of a wry smile on his face? I don't remember him needing a fanfare and a special announcement whenever he took his seat in the Demport when he was a Director.

Sorry my back has flared up again, will be unable to make it.

Quite. In fact, he went out of his way to seek anonymity.

Hope I don't get to my seat today and find a director in it ...

Sorry to hear that, Pepsi. Look after yourself and remember - there's always next time

They'll probably get applauded by hundreds if not thousands of regular supporters at today game but not by half a dozen contrary folk on here . It's not the fault of these people the Club is fooked . If they want to build bridges then good for them .
Cue the abuse .....

Enjoy your day people and take care .

I'm sure they will GG, but what exactly is the point of this stage managed exercise? Don't you find this procession of stunts and staged leaking of non news a distraction to the simple task of going to watch your team play and cheer or moan as necessary.

Are you going to manage a quick one in the CT at 1pm before the fanfest? It would be very nice to buy you a pint.

Ok Charlie this is how I see it Argyle as a club is woefully low on support from the younger generations . Walk around Plymouth to see all the Premiership shirts etc. So lets come up with an idea to get kids involved and talking and enjoying the match experience . Hey lets form a group and call it Forze Verde lets give em a big flag lets make them feel special . Lets make them feel special so they say to their mates "Come along to Argyle its great fun " . To make them feel more wanted lets get The Board of Directors to mix with them on occasion . Lets encourage them to sing and create an atmosphere . Me and mine moved into Block 4 last game and the Forze Verde thing started to take off and the atmosphere was great . the kids were loving it . An older guy at the back had the courage to stand up and sign 2 songs over and over again ( some of us thought it was odd at the time ) . Eventually people started to join in . You'll hear those 2 songs today for sure .


I've said it before and I'll say it again . This Club will take years to build back upo again . It'll be slow and it'll be hardwork . Some ideas will fail and some will work but lets not knock the efforts of those who try .

This whole thing is for the younger ones . Grumpy old gits like me and maybe you might not be able to see it right away but by god I hope it works .
lest not knock every new effort .
