So this will still flow off and end up at Barn Park pooling at the bottom by the road ??

LOl. I thought you knew all things 'drainage'?

..and TGWU... It's obviously not the finished article. Jeez...

It's essentially a soak away system, flooding should therefore not be an issue, with it holding the water until the ground is able to take it.

Whilst it fixes the problem, can't help but feel we missed a trick here, if there were tanks that could hold the water, with the ability to pump it and use it to water the pitch, it surely would of paid for itself quite quickly and therefore saved us money in water bills longterm?

Probably contaminated with asbestos, and bombs.

There is already a rainwater butt in the opposite corner. It’s massive. Have you never seen it? It’s at the top of what is now known as Bobby’s Garden. It is connected to the sprinkler system.

lol PT just hit paydirt.....Three BMs messaged that he'd take the bully bait 1000%.....nothing changes back in yer box

On an aside whats these cordoned off areas and safety notices at the Development something to do with health and safety apparently ??

Am on laptop so cant quite see what they say

Or maybe its just additional cordoning off barriers

Heras fencing and signage all round. Standard on all construction sites.

Some players just come out of the new changing rooms

New Plymouth Argyle supporters' bars at Home Park as slip to a mid-August opening. The cost of the project is now £1.4 million

Were they new players coming out of the new changing rooms?

Through the white door in the fence then they walked along the corner of the Barn Park end and out of sight

Probably doing some snagging.

Cladding going up on the Devonport end of the Mayflower stand

Cracking along now! Freddie’s half a mill must have landed then lol

And to think I was sneered at most mightily by some for suggesting that cash flow may have been a problem! £3m from Hallett and the Ladapo sale and lo and behold its marching along.

No sneering from my direction Ears but I certainly know who the main culprit is.....on an aside that Supporters bar must be worrying for McGuire and Co.....13 months late (thats assuming it does actually open next month which is doubtful) and already £500,000 over budget.

Wonder if Hallett wedged in with a bundle to make up that shortfall

I would be surprised if he did Harve as it's not an Argyle project.

"Ignorance is strength..."

There are none so blind as those that refuse to see.

So if we hadn't sold Ladapo the mankover would have ground to a halt - that in essence is what you're saying.. That the finishing of the grandstand depended on Ladapo being sold.

That's insane.
