Its awful. Its freezing in the winter, dated, acoustics are diabolical, its soulless, its dirty, stupid number of stairs. Dreadful place.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Possible price tag of £6.6 million and I think a figure of about £10 million for another part of the land. Oldway mansion was supposedly purchased for £500,000 when valued at least £1 million. There were plans for a major housing estate in the grounds surrounding the mansion but I don't think anything was built, hence the locals campain for the council to re-purchase it. Especially when they discovered what a shyster he is.
Thinking back I'm sure the argument was because Brent wanted to build some houses to pay for the upkeep of the Mansion, the council however had the lease sorted so you had to do it the other way round.

Is atd's own Damon still involved with Parkway? or is he devoting all his time promoting israel and shouting at arabs these days?

Used to hold the Plymouth beer and cider fest there - it was ok for that, but as others have pointed out the acoustics are appalling. The place was a shite design and experience from day one.

Think Radiohead were the first big band to play the Pavs and said the acoustics were fekkin dreadful. Good to see they addressed this over the last 20 odd years.....

Still sinking in what a momentous day it was with Brent leaving for good.
The party continues.

Hopefully this is the last we hear, from the departed odious shyster.
Blokes an utter creep.

Yep fair play to Si, he ended the Brentmare, the Webbmare, and booted out the Cornish freeloaders, good days ahead i hope.

Today's WMN has a "tribute" article to Brent. Lot's of factual inaccuracies and no real analysis of what he did with the Club. History certainly written by the winners in this case.

I post where I want to...and will comment when I feel that a line of decency has been overstepped.....James Brent I can take or leave....now he has left...so be it....put linking him to a Nazi crimes trial is a step too far...even for ATD.
