Only thing good about this competition is the chuckles it gives me every year when fans come out with every excuse under the sun to justify attending these games.
You’re doing the opposite of supporting the club. Don’t even bother trying to say otherwise.
I come in peace as I think my view on this is probably naive and I still don't fully understand the whole argument. I have been fairly pro these games, although I've never been to one, for the following reasons;
It gives our fringe/youth players a useful run out (eg Fletcher last season)
It encourages local fans to bring their families which could encourage a new generation of Argyle fan.
These fans get a rare chance to see some of the Premier league stars of the future.
The club builds possible loan arrangements with some big clubs.
The argument against seems more grounded in
smug conspiracy theories.
Has this competition really brought the worst case scenario any closer?
I feel that if someone chooses to attend these games they shouldn't be berated for doing so by those who choose not to.
