[PL2 3DQ]

Season tickets for season 2015-2016 to stay at the same price as this season if we stay in League Two, early bird and finance deals available.

If we are promoted to League One season ticket cost will increase BUT if bought before promotion, through the early bird deal etc, the cost will stay the same as this season.

Due to PCC elections no news expected on grandstand/HHP before the summer. If Bretonside goes ahead HHP development will cease.

Around £500,000 left on the £1.6m balloon payment.

Talbot not available for play-offs as a loan player, THD is available but could be recalled. Bobby Reid is available for play-offs, Lee's deal is still being worked on but is not expected to be available for play-offs.

The FA wouldn't allow Argyle to use Birmingham's games (3 games in a week) as Lee's 3 game suspension.

Plans in place for supporters bar, no concrete news yet. Possible repair to Far Post Club.

Temporary seating on Mayflower terrace not financially viable.

Players aged 18-21 not getting games unless in first team. Other clubs have the same problem, the under 21 league is not the answer. No solution as yet but club is working with Football League.
Under 18 teams are regularly playing.

Replica shirt sales - minimum order with Puma is 1,000. Difficult to judge success of shirts and amount to re-order (a 1,000 shirts for each order) balance to be found with not enough shirts in stock or too much stock, shirt sales are 30% up.

Missed the opening statement about balloon payment, but in Q&A was stated that only £500K left out of £1.6M, which is good news.

It was mentioned that segregation for remaining games would be looked at.

PS: Apologies that dress joke was taken wrong way by admin

Thanks, I've updated the balloon payment bit.

Fantastic news about Season Ticket prices, the incentive is there for fans to grab an early bird membership.

One thing missed from summary is that JB stated that he hasn't thought about the potential for buying back the ground from the Council in Oct 2016.

Surprising, given that the HHP Plot has doubled in value to £800K. It would suggest rest of plot is a bargain at ~£1.8M.

I agree, I think most fans are more concerned about getting promotion and on the pitch issues at the moment rather than off the pitch problems. While the grandstand/HHP and the financial side of the club is important there's a danger that some fans and groups get totally consumed by it all.

One important thing missing from the contributions so far is that it was reported by Martyn Starnes that in the accounting year period ending on 31st December 2014 the club operated on a break even bais thereby eliminating the cash shortfalls of the previous two trading years which required shareholder funding to cover the losses.

Whilst accounts can always be represented in different ways, the fact the club say they are running on a break even basis is absolutely fantastic news, especially when combined with the significant reduction to the balloon payment.

HHP development will cease? As nothing much has started that's no surprise.

Any questions about an alternative that will not be impacted by Bretonside? Previously we heard there was no Plan B but then there was a statement in the programme about "alternative way of delivering" being considered. But agree with emphasis on playing matters.

 

[Dawlish Warren]

Happy to be excited about our pitch performances for the first time in ages, however I am concerned about the future of the club if the double whammy of Bretonside proceeds alongside a failure to get out of L2. A big 14, possibly 17 matches ahead for many reasons?

Good news on season ticket prices.

Anyway it's Saturday afternoon so game on.
