Big day for Plymouth Argyle supporters - let's hope an agreement can be reached and the club survives. I'm 60% confident all will be well - but that 40% of doubt weighs heavy! With both our boys playing for Argyle, football and Plymouth has become as much a part of our lives as the beach. It's a huge commitment and not one that everyone can manage. Twice a week making the three hour round trip after school for training and then off to either Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, Yeovil, Swindon, Bournemouth for the matches on weekends. With a three year gap between Billy and Fin, one is always playing 'Away' and the other 'Home'. It's something that we and the boys have got used to - and they love it. This week they've been training at Home Park - great experiences for them.
Two years ago the club was playing against the likes of Newcastle in the Championship League and it's where they should comfortably fit. Today, at the bottom of Division Two and coming off a 5-1 thrashing at Oxford, on the face of it, things couldn't get any worse. But that wouldn't be the whole story. The team is young and has at times played better football this season than I've witnessed in recent years. Get the deal done today, bring in a few experienced players on loan and this team could go a long way. Fingers crossed. But enough of all this footie talk!!
Now then, back on the beach.... what a week it's been. Forget Monday and all that rain, since then it's been clean 2 -3 ft surf, light winds....perfect for the half term warriors. It's all set to change on Sunday, but plenty to enjoy until then.
Party time - just read online that the deal has gone through. Massive relief! La la la la la la, la, la la la la hoy.....
