Grimsby game Postponed - confirmed
- Thread starter soccerpilgrim
- Start date
I guarantee that... especially on social media... a lot of the people criticising Argyle for being tinpot etc, are the same people who were shouting loudest for the Liverpool cup money to be spent on players. Of course, that money largely went to infrastructure and maintenance. You can’t have it both ways.
Embarrassing that we’re the only club to have a postponement this weekend, but it’s one of those freak things that happens.

This postponement might work out for us.
1). The extremely harsh weather would have affected the crowd numbers so playing midweek will be negligible on attendance.
2). We have a chance to get some key players back fit (Telford, Baxter and Conor Grant)
3). The scores so far seem to be kind on us with Crewe drawing, Exeter and Cheltenham losing.

Early reports from first structural engineers on the scene are apparently saying that this can in no way be blamed on Ryan Lowe and is much more likely to be a legacy of the previous managers hoof all policy where too many balls were hoofed up onto the roof. Yay for tippy tappy football :scarf:
I expect a hefty fine for PAFC.
Jon B telling the Herald that bolts sheared in the wind. Good quality, good condition, tight bolts don't shear because there are no weak points and no movement. Obviously must be a dodgy bolt or two because Argyle will have had the condition of the horseshoe roof checked during the summer won't they?

Both clubs might wait on the FA Cup results before deciding on a new date for the game.
Grimsby are at home to Newport in the cup, if both Argyle and Grimsby are knocked out of the cup then a Saturday on 30th November would be better than a Tuesday game.
I guess Tuesday 19 November will be kept free for potential FA Cup replays.
It would be nice if the club donated the cooked food and pasties to a local homeless shelter.

No ... if you can make the rescheduled game you can use the ticket you've got.
If you can't make the rescheduled game you'll get a credit note for another Argyle home game between now and May.
You bought a ticket for an event that didn't take place ... yet.
Who is 'grabbing your money' here?? :think:
Should I phone the rozzers for you!! :-C :lol:
If you care to look at the statement issued by the club you’ll see that the roof and whole ground were safety checked in the summer and stringent tests were passed. Meanwhile throughout various parts of Southern England trees have come down, trains cancelled, roofs blow off, ferries halted etc etc. In fact the sea front at Lyme Regis was closed as a roof was ripped off a shelter. Meanwhile people in Plymouth are moaning, for a change, because a football game was cancelled!
