Furthermore the question of the Memorabilia is a valid one and warrants an answer.

True...  But you think that someone who spends half his life insulting Jon Back and calling him names is going to get an answer from him, especially one that is posed in the middle of a thousand random utterings that is freechat, and not being sent to JonB directly?

It's just posturing from the moron that is Harvetheslayer.  What next?  Harve threatening to have JonB arrested?

I don't think Jon Back can be blamed for the memorabilia disappearing. I'm pretty sure that Rick Cowdery and Martin Starnes were cataloguing it, while it wouldn't take long to do the silverware, there were some excellent photos - some of these decorated the walls of the FP club. They would surely look better on the GT walls than shirts.

A party in the GT bar tonight

No I dont blame Jon Black for it disappearing what I do blame him for Dingle is his utter refusal to answer a perfectly polite PM via FB which he read asking him to find out where the whole lot had gone. I copied in another member here.

Completely ignored....seeing as Dingle has now mentioned names happy to copy and paste

"Can you find out please where all the 40 years of photographs, montages, and caricature drawings by Chris Robinson have disappeared to from the Far Post....we know they were used by the club in a memories type fair by Starnes but supposedly returned to George who was running the FP at the time.....now they simply cant have been slung out for obvious reasons....Nigel Bodnar who runs the memories group would like to know in addition.....he is suggesting literally as I post this that Cowdrey has it all so perhaps that would be a first port of call in hindsight...thanks"

The rail man was in early this morning 0730 or before, safety rails before the terrace seats go in

Few weeks ago on Pasoti someone had spotted drawings on the planners wall that had the letters ARGYLE spaced across the upper grandstand.
I cant see them on Webcam 1 albeit happy to admit my eyes are not the best.....or I wonder if they're going to use decals on the seats themselves to spell it out rather than different coloured seats per se

It was on the contractor's wall and ARGYLE is to be picked out as white seats on the lower tier with three letters equally spaced either side of the new dugout

This week supposedly POI....If we think this redevelopment has been done at a snails pace (and GOS yet again taking the piss on latest photos mentioning for 3rd time how long) than wander up and have a look at the Flats build at top of Belgrave Rd in Mutley

They started in August 2017 before Bungos lot started in February 2018 and its nowhere near finished. The householders openly laugh at the state of it and has now got yellow "tiles" on the section that overlooks the road. When they initially started it rocketed but few weeks later jesus wept bob the builder what have been quicker

Nice to hear from you Graham,

All of Bungos webcams off currently....??

Some thing up with the walls?

Might explain why they continue to be switched off today....just tried all 3 again

Still looks like a shit tip of a site.

Looks like they've unearthed a UXB!

Jimbo was right all along!

Yeah looks like a 200 pounder area been cordoned off now right under Jimbos proposed Ice Rink. Wily old sod bet he's angling for some Council Compo

Strange all 3 Cams still off Thursday ...will go up later have a look around
TGWU you seen anything ??

Probably turned off for Rovers and Bungos forget to reinstate

On now,

Gates open and workers going into main stand at 0730 this morning, pushing on with it. terrace nearly done but for the seating. New turnstile block coming on, it is on the border of the car park about half way done.

TGWU what are they doing with those 2 walls on Webcam 3 ??
Is that assortment of blockwork meant to look a mess or is going to be plastered over and painted at some point ?
If you look at the facing wall top left it looks as if couple blocks have broken or fallen off

Looks more like it hasn't been finished yet. I hope they do paint them, it looks shit. And the glass-work of our "main entrance" looks amazingly similar to the entrance of the factory where I work

Cant help thinking that if it was going to be plastered over and painted they would have just used normal blocks. I think that may well be the finished look.
Went up yesterday took photos because was trying to see the different shades of green on the cladding but they didnt come out that well from distance. I'm not convinced that the excuse given from Bungo that some are dirty and dusty. They're different colours dirty or otherwise

Farm member Ade the Green nails it completely as regards the GTs Shack

"I’m not and never have been interested in attending a fanfest so again I know my place. What is and will be striking though is that the investors will need us plebs if they wish to make a success of times when Argyle aren’t playing and the way they’ve made me and possibly others feel is why should I care? Do you think the GTs club will be a success being used 23 days of the year? Do you think fanfesters and GT meetings will offer a profit? Not likely and to cut off a revenue stream by being flippant towards possible other paying customers even before they opened is business suicide"

Hiya Liam....how are the spreadsheets big boy
