If you Google Plymouth you either see Smeaton’s Tower or the old Argyle facade. They are both synonymous with each other.

Smeatons would be cheaper (simpler) but the ship ties in with the badge and looks awesome

I suggested that on all the approach roads to the stadium, they have the banners that attach to the lamposts. They could have different messages like 'Your City, your club' or 'Only One Argyle'. It might encourage some who drive that way who would never even think about what goes on inside the stadium and also make the place feel welcoming to all approaching.
Oh.... and can we have the ship in the corner please?!!!

You'd better hope their aim and fall of shot is accurate - could get pretty messy otherwise! The more I think of the Mayflower replica, the more I like it. It'd look amazing and really would be a unique, innovative talking point. :thumbup:ghost of hughie reed":1me29fx9 said:Re the replica Mayflower concept, it would get my vote if every time we scored it fired a broadside of custard pies at the away fans. :thumbup:

Whilst I appreciate we ended up with a refurb instead of new build, is there still scope to do something eye-catching eg something like the ship on the old Drake Cinema but fashioned into a Mayflower replica for the ‘Bobbys Garden’ area? (I think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have something similar in their stadium which fires an actual broadside when they score a touchdown!! That may be taking things a little far and would probably trigger a few coronaries in the Mayflower! :lol: ).
:shocked:
I want us to have one of these.

It would be very unique. I’d be the only homeowner in Plymouth with a lighthouse in my garden!
