It is an entertainment industry whereby the attractiveness of the football on show generates the revenue. This becomes the club's resources to expand once a settled and successful team lead the way. Why we think we are unique with this thought process being applied in reverse is beyond me. Home Park is not a leisure centre but a football ground. The board needs to think of the Fan Base and of the critical requirement of giving them a product on the field of play to enjoy coming to see regardless of the facilities at the venue. That isn't what generates joy nor emotion at a football club. What we have seen so far this season from our own team as a footballing spectacle is unacceptable and this needs to be addressed way before any thoughts of an ice rink take centre stage.
You'd have more of a point if Plymouth Argyle had adequate facilities.
As it is, we are light years behind where we need to be infrastructure wise. The grandstand and training ground are gaping holes that need to be filled as a matter of urgency.
It simply isn't an option to progress as a decent Football League club with a dilapidated stand and portakabins as the heart of our operations, and a not-so-glorified playing field as our training ground.
