Thanks Merv, I withdraw my question!

No problem MOG - just have to think of another one now!!

Does anyone know what are the "footballing debts" as opposed to staff payments etc, or are they the same??

It took me long enough to word that one!

Can anyone confirm or deny that this is still actually going on?
Or has Newell and Webb successfully and hysterically managed to put a stop to it?

It's all booked, and will go ahead as advertised.

Despite Newell and Webb's best attempts to divert attention from the criminal behaviour on Newell's flickr account and onto ATD, it's worth pointing out that all that happened yesterday was a link to a site highlighting Mr Newell's wrongdoing was posted on here. Newell and his acolytes have tried to smear this site by saying it was all done by ATD posters. Where's Newell's evidence for that claim?

I'm sure Mr Brent has noted what's gone on. I have heard nothing from either him or his office to alter the arrangements for next week.

I'll bring the picalilli if there's going to be pork on the buffet menu.

I second Czars question/statement I miss zoo corner atmosphere, you can hardly hear Demport from there and that has always been the loudest part of the ground and Mayflower wind up the away fans.
As for duplicating questions, don't worry about it, it takes a second to ask and answer a question I am sure JB won't worry about it.

I will try again!

I have two questions which are sort of linked. When the new pitch was laid, GOS produced and downloaded on to their site an excellent picture diary of the work from start to finish. With the proposed development of Home Park would access be granted to them to do the same with the new grandstand and hotel? I was thinking of pictures of the offices and other areas before the work started, when these areas are cleared out and empty, during the building work and when finished.

The next question is will the new hotel have a link with the club in as much as maybe having rooms named after prominent people in Argyle’s history.
A few suggestions being top of the range rooms could be the Mpenza, Shilton and Taribo West suites.
A restaurant called Mickey’s or Chez Evans’ and a cyber cafe called the Webb suite.

PS, Sorry, I was on a bit of a roll and could not resist the last one.

Andy, you don't have to include the suggestions if you don't want to.

Mouldy.

Ok, my flight won't get in in time for me to make it.

My question:

Although the thoughts of us filling a 20k stadium seems a long way away with the current predicament we are in (playoffs and cup ties excepted, plus possibly big games vs someone up the road), it would still put us well behind traditional rivals in terms of overall capacity. my question is, why?

My question.
Could you let us know why STs aren't being sold,is it because by having Memberships you don't have to pay VAT?
barry adamson

Bleddy interesting question that Katman. If it is the case then a smart move.

Can someone ask my question via proxy?

Other clubs, Southampton being one, use their "Player" account to show full games after they have finished as opposed to brief highlights. I think this is something that would appeal to a lot of exiled fans and is it something that the club have considered? Sam.

Many thanks to anyone who can pass that on.

Would be a good thing. At the moment you get radio commentary and brief highlights two days after you've seen the goals on Sky or The Football League Show.

Andy...

How is the Newell/Webb situation going to be handled?

I mean... There is whole evenings worth of questions right there alone.

Obviously you don't want things turned into a bitchfest but the situation about these two is surely going to be brought up? Is it not?

Have you a plan for dealing with it?

No plan at all Ricks. If questions are asked, Mr Brent has agreed to answer them. No censorship planned by me - but like you I hope the evening doesn't descend into a bitching session about Webb and Newell. Part of the reason for this is to show JB that what he's been told about us just isn't true. I hope the people in attendance grasp the opportunity with both hands.

I see what you did there!

Its just going to need a strong chairman to conduct proceedings and ensure that it doesn't descend into a farce.Anybody know of a decent chairman?

Lost it up his handler's ass?

I've got a question...

I believe that the 'football debt' is going to be paid back at approximately 200k a year for the next 4 years, followed by a one-off payment of about £2million at the end of the four years. If this is the case, my question is where is that 'one-off' £2m going to come from? Will it be borrowed, or are there plans to sell something else off to generate the money required?

I don't know (or want to know) much about the 'aggro' going on between the two sites, and certain fans, but I doubt it will look good if Brent is asked continually about alleged behaviour of people on internet forums, FB, Twitter, Flicker etc. I doubt that he has much particular interest in various beefs between different fans. Remember than Ian Newell doesn't have any official connection with PAFC - there is therefore no reason for Brent to concern himself with what he might be doing/have done. Even though Webb is an employee of Argyle (and therefore Brent) that doesn't mean that Brent needs to particularly concern himself with what Webb does outside his working hours.

Webb is not an employee of the club.

He holds an honorary position of President. There is no financial reward as far as I know. He might have considerably more access to things than us mere mortals though.
