It's hard being green

[Dave Stoneman]

Can I just say a big thanks to Seagull fans for the generous and unstinting support you have given to us down at Plymouth Argyle?

As a fan of Argyle for over fifty years I have watched with horror what has unfolded over the last three years or so. I have been unable to understand how a club like us has fallen so far so fast and the antics of the Administrators and one potential buyer was nothing more than a pantomine.
Although the ownership situation has been resolved and there has been some improvement on the playing front, we are stuck at the foot of the FL.

But one thing which has stood out for me is the way in which fans from so many other clubs have gathered around to offer support. Your club was a the spearhead of this support and I would like to offer up my personal thanks to those of you who had put the survival of my club above the rivalries of the game.

If the whole shocking mess ends with our drop into the BCL, then so be it, but I will draw comfort from the fact that genuine fans-such as you- believe that football is something more than the Premiership, big salaries and Sky TV.

Anyway, thanks again.

Man, I miss England, English people and the Englishness that is embodied in this post. Best of luck to you and PA, Dave

Keep the faith. Argyle will survive. Give it 5 years and you'll be back in the Championship, or knocking on it's doors.

Thanks for the kind words.

The Torquay result must have hurt, but otherwise it looks like you're starting to pull it together. We were 11 points adrift at one point in 96/7 and still stayed up - you're still in touch, there are plenty of games left to get out of it.

Good luck, chap, and thanks for the kind words. We do it 'coz we've been there ourselves.

You will survive & hopefully prosper in the future because enough people like you love your club. Good luck for the rest of the season.

You have to have been there to really understand the hurt imo. I hope that things turn around for PA in the near future as sliding towards non league purely through mis management is a bitter bitter pill. Like the Albion in our darkest days, Plymouth are too big a club to be non league. Good luck, really hope you stay up and keep the faith, sometimes it's all that seems to be left tbh. Plenty of time to pull it around this season.

Good to see your crowds are picking up - 12000 or so for the Torquay local derby was it? Hope you can keep them coming for surely that is the way for the club to stabilise and move forwards

Is it true the administrators have been sending out random invoices to Argyle fans and organisations with connections to the football club ?

Yes, warsaw, it was a local derby. Could have been worse, it might have been Exeter!

Hi SOG. Yep it's true! You can see the reactions on the PASOTI site. It beggars belief!

Increasing crowds, stregthening the team during the window and a couple of wins and things will look rosier than they have for years. Good luck.
