Argyle in the Times

Good article, that - Robertson has done his research. Nice to see that sort of coverage in a national paper.
A little bizarrely, Argyle also featured on Antiques Road Trip last Friday (still available on BBC I player).
Filmed mostly in Plymouth, it visited an antiques shop with a giant bear wearing Argyle colours; told the story of the Eddystone lighthouse, going out to the reef and going up Smeaton’s tower (slightly rewriting history by omitting Rudyerd’s lighthouse); and a long feature at Home Park telling the story of Jack Leslie. A gentleman from PASALB informed the presenter, while sat in the dug outs. Must have been filmed in the summer as the usually immaculate pitch looked terrible.
All in all, a good advert for the city and club.

Excellent, well informed article, with great comments from supporters and others.
The only negative comment from a Greek; well, you’d expect that, wouldn’t you?
Not a racist comment, of course.

I read it myself over my cereals this morning and enjoyed it. It was a huge credit to the Club both on and off the field. The lasting thought I had was whether the editorial would ever have had a chance if the weekend was not an International one and The Times usual Games supplement was overloaded with Premiership games reports. Nevertheless, we must be thankful for the exposure on the national stage..
For me it's a yes, transfer targets seeing all the positive stuff could help get deals over the line in January, not yet fans who have been not sure about coming will think go for it, possibility of live games giving the extra income.
It's a big list of potential positives, the only negative I can see is other teams become interested in management and players who i think are fully invested in the club and journey and wouldn't be looking at leaving at this point anyway.
A cracking and thorough deserved article on our beloved Club.
I believe "The Journeyman" writes a weekly article on Mondays on a Club in the lower echelons, including those in the National League, whether it is an International weekend or not.
There are no negatives. Do we think everyone reads the Times and only then becomes aware of us and how we are doing?
