Well, hopefully I'm not a usual name but with solely my Argyle fan hat on, I cannot see how anything on the HHP land will benefit Argyle in any way. In fact, it will hem in any future grandstand development, as many have already pointed out. I can see a benefit in the hotel making the conferencing more of an attractive option but the rest, no, not really.
As the grandstand refurb is already funded and not dependant upon any of the rest of the development, I cannot see why any Argyle fan would be in favour of the HHP development, at all, when all this could go elsewhere in the City (is additional office space even needed?), especially as it could put back the start of the refurb, either costing Argyle more or resulting in further cost reducton exercises on the scheme.
That may be a tad selfish, as there is an argument for Mr Brent to be able to generate a bit of profit on all the time he has invested in the club but from solely a selfish Argyle point of view, I just can't accept it all.
Well i dont look at it from purely an argyle point of view. I support plymouth argyle.
Thats the club and the city. Credit for using the word selfish. I can understand in a way.
We all want whats best for the club. But central park should benefit all the people of plymouth
not just us lucky few who follow argyle.
As for the stand well we must be doubling the width or more in the refurb so i dont see why that
extra width couldnt harbour a 2/3 tier stand.
The previous development would have hemmed us in for sure. Not so much now and the demport could
be expanded also.
Of course mr oligarch might want to relocate us elsewhere like ernesettle. Hmm. Perhaps not.
