If there was 3926 Argyle fans there, no way does that stand hold 4500, it was rammed apart from half the last section nearest the Railway and all the aisles were full of people standing.

A few gaps on the screen. However it has been proven that stand can hold that many. Leeds United brought that when they were in league 1. That last block and a couple of rows in front visible accounts for the 500.

Plymouth should be an inspiration, look at where they were 10 years ago, they are a Vale sized club as well

No they are not.

They averaged 15,579 at home this season.  Vale's is 7,681

They are a much bigger sized club than us

I'm sure Flickers will be tracking his availability.

That last block was half full though, I thought from the back of the Bycars the 2 front rows were all occupied.

i think there were more Argyle fans there.

Well done, they averaged more than us in a promotion season.

That's why I said look where they were 10 YEARS AGO, when they averaged 7,096 fans, which is less than 7,681 FYI

But we never ever get near the average they get.

Even under the glory days of Rudgie in the old Championship, we were no where near averaging 10,000 never mind looking at getting near the 15,000 mark

It could have been a very different game. He gave them a gold plated chance early on in liaison with the defence and one other. I want a Brown level keeper brought in, but Stone is actually better than all the other keepers we have signed in the last 2 years including the Kung Fu kid, the Lamppost and worst of all Holy Stevens. 

Oi you one of those is the love of my life 💜

Crosby said we didn’t want it become a easy ride for there title win(in so many words)

Not at all. 

Just think it's the totally wrong appointment.

Why would you want someone thats lost 6 out of his last 7 games in charge and been part of the pap that's been put out since January. Its bizarre

I don't think it was that easy for them, their fans seem to think we are really good team and are unsure why we are 19th!

How many of the Plymouth fans did you speak to?

Plymouth never got out of first gear today

I agree with your points re statistics, but by the same measure then do you think DC should have kept his job?

Obviously our finances are being strained at present, so personally I would rather spend what we have on players and have a manager who is willing to work within our framework, which AC seems to indicate he understands.
