Martyn Starnes to leave Argyle (joins Bristol Rovers)

[HC Green]

Not sure if he would apply but I think Zac Newton would make an excellent Chief Executive, in the last few months I’ve emailed in on a number of times about Central League, U18 and SWPL fixtures and have got replies back almost immediately and on one occasion the information I asked for was put up on the website about an hour after getting his reply.
Just such a change in professionalism and courtesy compared to recent years.

 

[Biggs]

Trouble in paradise.

Why’s that, then?

 

[Argyle Nutter]

Female CEO on the way in I wonder? Would certainly fit in with James's future business model.

and the absolute mess that was the temporary seating.

Is that the same seating that the club decided to supply seating on a non profit basis so we could get more fans in?

That'll be the ones. I doubt the view from the directors box was as bad as anyone who had the misfortune to be sat in them, whether they chose to or not! But that's all water under the bridge, everybody in the disabled stand was compensated for the inconvenience and those in the Mayflower weren't. Okay, I've got an axe to grind on this one but I'll keep paying my money and putting up with the sh1te, I support the team not necessarily the current custodians. Anti Brent sympathies detected, ban imminent! LOL.

My view for that match was one of the worst in the ground, but I know there were a few seats with crap views in the old Mayflower.

You grind away mate, as always anything within the laws of this country are fine on this site.

However, my point was, it's a bit harsh to be hammered for something that gave about 3,000 more people a chance of seeing one of out 'biggest games' don't you think?

Last comment, allowing more one off attendees to get to the game in principle is fine, who knows they might come again, but when this is at the expensive and inconvenience of many life long season ticket holding fans, maybe not. My view is obviously skewed as I was directly affected and it p$ssed me off frankly.

 

[IJN]

I get that I really do.

Still a cheap shot on Martyn though in my opinion.

Ignore him Biggsy, he's taken off his aluminium headgear I reckon.

What you've described there HC, is a competent secretary, or admin assistant.

CEO of a professional football club is an extremely niche position. Or it should be.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Martyn Starnes is also listed as a director at Argyle and at Football in the Community Trust and one other company so presumably he will be replaced as a director at those three companies?

 

[cheshiregreen]

No.

...you want our CEO to be appointed based on their ability to respond to entry-level customer enquiries?

Who cares, as long as they're the right person for the job? Brent will appoint the best applicant and I doubt very much gender will come in to it.

Yes because the Chief Executive at Argyle is the head of the non football staff so being good at admin and being fan focused is an important quality.

Time to focus on Saturday

Massive game as we push for the play offs

Had a very similar experience with Zac reference the charge that was being applied to season ticket holders moving seats next to tickets they were buying for guests. I had a quick, comprehensive and well considered reply, and note today that the charge has been abolished for 18/19.
