Starting at 7pm, online only. Hosted by Gordon Sparks with Simon Hallett, Ryan Lowe and Andrew Parkinson.
RL: Aim to be in top half of league with 10 games to go and see where it takes us.
SH: Financial position is strong and the fans have helped hugely. Other clubs are struggling financially but have survived.
Insurance claim for £2m really helped Argyle.
AP: Surprised no club has gone bust but government, PL and EFL financial help kept clubs in business, although several clubs have loans that will need to be paid back.
RL: One club just out of admin are paying silly high wages for players.
AP: Seating in upper grandstand is challenging for legroom but had to balance out maximum capacity. Over next few months plans in place to look at issues in upper grandstand.
SH: As a club we want fans to respect other fans and players and club staff. Low tolerance of abuse aimed at staff.
AP: Club Policy of inclusion. Standards Panel will look at complaints, one fan recently banned from HP due to comments made on Social Media.
RL: When signing new players club policy of 'don't sign knobheads'. Will look into player background before signing. But how far do you go back to look at social media account?
RL: No consistency last season, new players were targeted in January for signing this summer.
Galloway trained at HP at end of last season.
AP: Solar panels on grandstand roof cost £55,000 and will take 5 years to make a profit.
AP: Academy cost £850,000 a year to run. BGL contribution is around 10% to the Academy costs.
RL: Proud to give debuts or chances to young players.
Last week 50 odd kids from age 9 upwards signed for the club.
SH: Praise for RL for giving a chance to Michael Cooper last seadon, it was a risk that worked.
Club promotes risk and reward, previously club was afraid of failure and fearful. A big cultural change at the club.
AP: Club works closely with Puma for new kit each season, it's a constructive process, samples from Puma are sent to club to decide upon.
RL: Puma are different class. As long as it's green I don't mind on style.
RL: All new defenders were first priorities not second choices. Houghton was targeted after noticing he dropped out of first team at MK Dons. Recently missed out on an attacking player and another player decided to sign for another club. That's the only 2 targets that were missed.
One or two loanees to come in and these will be seasoned players, not youngsters. One new player to sign possibly in next few weeks.
AP: Seriously looking at a scoreboard, studies taking place for best scenario.
AP: Graphics and score will be added to live coverage for ArgyleTV. Private pre-match show was trialed for Swansea game.
RL: Learnt from watching England Euro 2020 games. I was sat behind England bench at final.
SH: Share issue for fans will NOT go ahead. Research showed investment should be high value and not small investment of around £500 to £1000.
Club looking at other ideas of fans investing in club.
AP: Club looking at way to honour Paul Mariner but also to recognise others.
Liasing with Ipswich to do something at the two games this season. A rep from the club will be at Paul's funeral.
AP: Must engage with fans of all ages to connect with community. Content must be relevant for young fans.
RL: Will be out in community, players to coach the kids, Gary Sawyer will be out and about in community.
Come and support us.
End.
