New Superstore and Ticket Office (opens Tue 5 Feb)

[IJN]

It will now become FACT though.

It's the way the Neggies work. "I saw it on Pasoti". :facepalm:

I'll simply continue to call things out when they are clearly and obviously crap/sh1te/amateur/embarrassing. The same as I'll recognise when strides are taken to demonstrate ambition and make us more professional across the board - and again kudos to Hallett because he has actioned some significant positive changes already.

I'll give your 'adulation' of SH to last until about June/July.

By then I fully expect you to revert to type.

You're not if nothing else consistent.

Oh rest assured, if Hallett were to demonstrate Brent-like actions that benefited Simon Hallett Esq. to the detriment of PAFC, I'd be on his case too.

Thankfully and demonstrably, Hallett ain't Brent.

:thumbs:

You and few others Andy? :greensmile:

Again I ask, what IS the rush?

Has anyone been put out by this occurrence?

So presumably Ian, if the equivalent fitting out of the main stand were to mirror this debacle and take three times longer than planned - finishing some time in 2021, you'd be saying the same - "what's the rush?"

Sometimes when things are patently crap, even you are allowed to call it.

What evidence is there that this might happen?

Eh? I'm not saying it might. It was used as an example to ask Ian if he'd use the same "what's the rush" question if the same level of delay (three times longer, at least, than planned) were replicated in the main revamp.

But what if it was two days over,, as the shop is now?

I'm just confused by people's reaction to a six month scheme running over a tiny bit. It's not exactly a Spurs scenario is it?

And we'd have something I the contract that we get money back if it's not finished on time.

 

[IJN]

Don't mention Spurs FFS.

Imagine the gaggle of bully boys if they were Spurs fans eh?

:lol:

These armchair experts eh??

Mike, the modular units were dropped in in July with a scheduled 8 week build/fit out. September was the original opening date. Everything since then has been 'delay'.

Did not know this. I always thought it was a 2019 date

 

[pedro91]

You need to chill out Graham.

It'll all be good eventually, time is merely an added stress to what is already stressful life.

There are far more important things to worry about.

Yes,will Pilgrim the cat be ok?

 

[IJN]

If he’s not JB will be at fault!

My "rush" is having a 6 year old Grandson with a season ticket every home game asking the same question "When can I sit over there and watch a game Grandad?" His older brother has seen a game from the old grandstand and he is impatient to do the same. Same question every home game. :lol:
Tomorrow I will tell him "You'll be able to sit over there sometime next year" (Fingers crossed) because the stand being ready in 223 days has become a very sad joke. Still no rush.
By getting the shop / ticket office up and running would show a modicum of progress, first piece of the jigsaw complete. One bit done, plenty to do but one bit done.

Have I been "put out" by a delay to an opening of a shop :funny: NAH course not, just irritated enough to voice my concerns on a fan site.

Stood outside looking in the whole project looks decidedly amateurish.

Still, bring on Coventry, the team who may not have a home again next season. :shock:

 

[IJN]

Yep I spoke to someone up there at the start of the season and they are even checking out the local rugby ground which has at the moment (or it did then) a capacity of something like 4,500!!!!

As for your amateurish comment, fo you really think so? I was super impressed with Wring and the demolition and from what I’ve seen so far of GL and what they are doing I’d say the very opposite.

The shop and ticket office has been a bit of a dog’s dinner but the crap I’ve seen hurled at Jon Back about that has been nothing short of disgraceful and is tantamount to bullying in my mind.

But that seems to be the nature of the beast these days. A fan like Jon gets his dream job and he has to put up with this crap.

 

[Guiri Green]

Surely, just a couple of paragraphs to give everyone a quick update on the 'Front of Shop' that even non Argyle supporting dog walkers must walk by and wonder what's going on, would go a little way to informing the majority and perhaps, diminishing the angst and rabid theorising of those who take it all a little too seriously and personally ?

 

[IJN]

Totally agree.

Saying that we’d then get people labouring over every word complaining about spelling mistakes.

 

[HC Green]

Speaking to staff in the shop this week it would seem they all know when the new shop is opening, as they told me the date, and that it will have lots of new lines of goodies to buy.

 

[Biggs]

The ‘whole project’ looks amateurish, Andy? As in the the grandstand in general?

You can’t possibly think that if you’ve been following the webcams and the GoS updates.

 

[James J]

Hi, can someone let me know where I can collect my match ticket tomorrow with all the building work going on? Living in the midlands I haven’t been down to Home Park for a while. Thanks in advance.
