handbags_harrisT-RexArnie_Pie Seems this chap is a bit more realistic of who is tinpot
You and I both know that 12500 is more than your club could ever have dreamed of before it sold it's soul to become the current plastic carnation.
Care to elaborate on what you mean by that? I fail to see where steady, financially stable, year on year progression falls into the category of selling it's soul. Ignorance is bliss isn't it? You fall firmly into the same category as the Wednesday fan on Tuesday night, and I quote "it's all about your money, f**k off back to the 4th Division where you belong". Progression on the pitch = higher attendances. Fact of life. It would happen at Argyle as well. Live with it.

Ian Royal What do all these dates have in common?
24 October 1997
23 November 1996
8 April 1996
Dates we got more than 12500 at Elm Park in a league game.
Thats from 3 different seasons, prior to the move to the Madejski Stadium, all of which we finished in the bottom 7, including one we were relegated. And yet still got higher than a number we never could have dreamed of. Also an amount only a couple of thousand from capacity in a decrepit stadium in front of a struggling/poor team.
Congratulations, Plymmouth may have been better supported a decade or more ago. But you're now neither better supported, nor more successful and you haven't been for a fair few seasons.
brush the chip off your shoulder and get counciling for your inferiority complex.

Progression on the pitch = higher attendances. Well duh.
What about your 'progression' off the pitch? As in get bought by a rich man, who builds a 24k all-seater stadium despite you only getting 3k at the time, who then bankrolls you to the PL. RFC are as bad and as 'real' a football club as Wigan are.

Ian Royal So quite good for a tier 3 club on the whole. But fail to sustain quality at a higher level for any time and just get the plastics in briefly whilst they're there. Don't drop too badly when down to tier 4 either mind.
In fact after 1 season in tier two for the first time in 13 years they lost, LOST roughly 2.5k fans the next season. Must have preferred the higher quality on display at Exeter in the conference.

Reading figures for that same period around the 50's were also quite good around the 15k mark. God knows how they fitted into Elm Park!

The Club intend at some point to ‘finish the ground’ by re-developing the old Grandstand. It is intended to build a multi-tiered stand with a capacity of 6,000. This will be part of a wider development that could also see the construction of a hotel, residential accommodation for students and/or key workers, plus conference space and leisure facilities. The club are currently looking for partners in this project and if they are successful and all goes to plan then work could start in 2010.

St Pauli You know that St James' Park has more character and soul in the big bank then Argyle do in the whole of Home Park.
