Clearly Derek Adams now has the majority of fans on board and supportive of him, his tactics and the players he has brought into the club. There is a feel good factor, the manager is clearly doing all he can to balance alot of time with the players with keeping the supporters happy with evenings like this.
So for me the one ingredient left is the board - surely we are getting close to the point where they have to grab the bull by the horns and do something to get as many bums on seat as possible. The natural improvement in the style and results will perhaps add anything from 500-1000 on the gate, with a nice set of early season fixtures in terms of attendance (Pompey, Gas, the bonus of Exeter in the JPT) maybe they are holding steady and enjoying the ride, but i'd like to think that the business "brains" in the Argyle camp can see/smell something happening at the club and are starting to trawl out ideas, that can get 8000 through the gate every week. We know there have been ideas in the past, but its hard to sell a boring product which as limited success, it is far easier to sell a product that is pleasing in the eye, with others enthusing around it.
We all know that 8000 a week would like give Adams the funds or the chance to pressure the Chairman into funds in January for an additional body or two to improve again.
The manager has come through his "trial" period with flying colours on and off the field, now back to the wise people who made the brave choice of Adams to go again and show the fans that the whole club means business.
There is an ideal opportunity to put that question to the chairman at 10:30 on Saturday morning at the GT suite. I assume that that is why Mr Brent is attending.
