The geeks will plough-up the pitch and re-lay it, but only once they have finished all that up-hill gardening !

This thread gives us Gulls bucket loads of fun.

ahhh well at least our fan base is wealthy enough to be able to afford to support our club in this way.

if you ever had a bucket down at gnome park you would probably only get a couple of used condoms and a few balls of lint. in fact i'm surprised argyle fans can even afford to get in (yeah yeah i know most of them climb over the fence but there must be one or two actually rich enough to pay!)

In Plym**th the bucket would've been stolen and melted down for scrap.

Argyle are paying £400k because they are having the same style pitch as Arsenal which mixes grass and plastic fibres (apparently).

City are going for a standard pitch hence the £150k price tag.

The £400k pitch is said to last 3 times longer thus being a better purchase in the long run...... we shall see.

I would be p***** off as a scummer to be honest.....it is all very amateur asking fans to pay for your pitch...... thats what season tickets, shirts sales and commercial revenues are for!

This really is the test of the whole trust v benefactor debate. I was reading that AFC Wimbledon are saying they will face a similar choice and interestingly enough their chairman says they can reach league 1 as a trust but go no further.....??

Do you have a benefactor? If so, who is it?

....we will be spending 400k on the pitch this summer
It's a real shame then that it won't effect results ive. Strange flights of fancy that your manager has;
'Mr Mariner, how are we going to reverse these appalling results and ensure we don't end up down tinpot alley'.
The manager thinks deeply for a long while then in great excitement shouts' ' I have a BRILLIANT plan. We'll sow some new grass!!!'

If only all problems were so easily sorted eh? Poor dear innocent scummers.

At least people have an option, and judging from the high regard that we are held in by the community, I daresay they'll give it.

Remind us again how much money you took from the pockets of Plymouth taxpayers for your ground development and subsequent cut price ground buying rip off?
