Can you clarify that Ian? Bobby's garden open or covered? I'm sure he said, as you look at the Grandstand, the left corner will be covered and the right open.IJN":jjc5jt6t said:

Sorry mate, I've just re-read Bandy's post. 
The BPE will be OPEN and Bobby's Garden will be 'covered'.

I have been doing a transcript during the programme - but now lost it. :banghead: :banghead:
IF ANYONE who did not hear the programme wants me to retype - no problem - let me know ?

OK here goes - a summary only
All the questions received at the studio started by saying "thank you for saving the Club".
Did he have any regrets ?
The learning experience was very different from what he had expected and he had never previously experienced the level
of passion associated with the Club and the survial culture.
All his kids were now addicted to watching Argyle.
The Administration process took longer than envisaged and he never expected his identity to be revealed when it did.
He was not worried about the poor pre-season results although the Yeovil game was not the best !!
He was more encouraged by what happened against Brum.
We have a large playing budget for a League 2 Club - 2 Clubs have VERY large budgets.
Carl Fletcher has 3 objectives this season - build a squad to compete in L2, entertain and develop the youth system.
He will be given time to accomplish all three.
Work is progressing well relating to the new Grandstand - plans will be submitted at the end of 2012/start of 2013.
Build to start during the latter part of 2013 - if all things go well.
Capacity to be circa 20k
This project would go hand in hand with improving hospitality.
Phase 1 - build the new bit = 20k
Phase 2 -IF NECESSARY - build up !!!!
Images of the new Grandstand - the fans will be consulted around Xmas 2012
Armed Services personnel to be given greater incentives ? - JB to review but he thought that the Armed Services Day
and other Membership packages should not be overlooked.
The poor and over-priced catering ?
The pasty vote now in progress, more local beers available and smartened bars. He was very aware of what was missing within
"The Match Day Experience" concept.
He praised the Staff - if they had done what most people would have - the Club would have fallen. The efforts of the GT's, in particular,
was now making in-roads into quickening up the arrears payments.
One comment I did like was "every season we must start by aiming to win it, otherwise, we may as well not start it"
Now where have I heard that before ???

You are very welcome, Mike
By the way, for those of you in the Radio Plymouth area or have access to the Internet on Sunday.............
Tim Manns does a "Sunday Supplement" from 11 until 2 on Sunday [would you believe ?] which repeats
parts of his 5 afternoon shows - so James Brent SHOULD be on it - in part, at least ?
FM 106.7
Keep the Faith :scarf:
How can clubs have "VERY large budgets" (presumably compared to ours) given the home crowds of teams in League 2 and the wage cap rules?
