Conkers Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Devil-Darren Posted Today, 10:18 AM we have been averaging around the 1500-1800 mark all last season and we getting those right now with the fixtures we have had so half term would mean more kiddes that live further away could make it... but we dont set the dates.. It wasn't a dig a Plymouth, I realise that the dates are set centrally, it was just a general observation. Mind you I know several conference teams who would kill for crowds around the the 1500 - 1800 mark! Hopefully I can get there for the Buxton fixture during the summer which will boost the gate by another 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessexboy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think the league made a good choice in Plymouth for holding the fours Like Darren said their crowds are 1500 on average plus the traveling support it should be a great crowd for friday meeting So it should be a good pay out for all the conference team which should help some of the small clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 the traveling support for a friday meeting <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've just quoted what I think is the problem - not for you Wessex guy, you live not too far away. I know that Plymouth have fantastic support at home meetings ( not so sure about away ) but it is such long way to go - and impossible for many supporters to get there on a working day.

ssissonic Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes that does appear to be a bit of a problem, I have asked around and most people have said no, they cannot get the time off work..........with all due respect Plymouth for most is a day-trip not just an evening ride. I agree that Plymouth is a nice track, they attract a great crowd who are very friendly..........my biggest gripe is them porta-loos on my last three visits I have managed to find one with no light in it!!! ..............ah well, might give someone a giggle if me frock is tucked in me pants!!!!

Mr Anonomous Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Well just a topic on who everyone thinks will win the fours. Personall, as I am a Boston fan, would like to see Boston win. Rob Smith knows the track like the back of his hand! Darren Mallett flew there last seasonm was the first person to beat SS I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribbler Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm having concerns about the weather between now and Friday evening. Looking on Metcheck there is heavy rain forecast for Thursday. Will the track be able to cope? I am aware that there were problems at the end of the season last year because of poor drainage. Even if you can get the track OK will the spectator area be able to cope? Genuine concerns Darren - for people prepared to take time off work and travel great distances to be able to support their team. If there are any doubts/problems will you post them on here by Thursday evening so that there won't be too many wasted journeys as some supporters may set out early on Friday morning.

Devil-Darren Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 scribbler you know the way we run we will always try and get the meeting on and if it cant then we will tell everyone well in advance of anyone travelling.. the weather said it would be raining today but it is clear sky's her.. look at me jinx'ing ourselves the drainage has been improved no end over the winter and there is no need to worry. darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M08 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 My prediction: 1st = Scunthorpe 2nd = Plymouth 3rd = Boston 4th = Weymouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger of trelawny Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks for the info Jayne, not sure if I can get the ammendment into the programme with my deadline being today ! Will give it a go though but can't promise anything. Best wishes to Ben, hope whatever the injury is that he's back in the saddle before very long. On another tack I find it funny that people are requesting an early decision as to whether the meeting is on when the very same crowd slated the Plymouth promotion for doing so last season. Damned if you do and damned if you don't .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 My prediction: 1st = Scunthorpe 2nd = Plymouth 3rd = Boston 4th = Weymouth <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That will be clever with Plymouth,Boston & Weymouth all in the same semi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Darren Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 was going to say the same thing.. darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 [quote Genuine concerns Darren - for people prepared to take time off work and travel great distances to be able to support their team. I specifically stated in my post that these were genuine concerns I was thinking of supporters from Cleveland, Boston, Buxton, Oxford and Sittingbourne as well as Scunthorpe - Weymouth is "kind of" local. I find it quite sad that Plymouth feel the need make comments when I have voiced a genuine concern which others may be thinking. We are in the 2007 season now. Let's put the 2006 season behind us and move forward. I hope that this meeting will be on the Updates site for all who cannot attend - it should be a good meeting.

Devil-Darren Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) well scribbler he does have a point. although tagging it as the whole of plymouth isnt really on.. when we called it off early last year there was an uproar about it from a certain part of the country.. and recent event's havent helped the two clubs concerned.. which i am not going o go into on this forum.. so the "it was 2006 and it is 2007" comment doesnt stick i am afraid. the weather is looking fine down here and i will promise that if the meeting is anywere near being called off every promoter will be called early enough and i will put it on here early enough ok.. darren Edited May 16, 2007 by Devil-Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger of trelawny Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 One's allowed to make comparisons though. Last year a number of conspiracy theories were banded about on the internet as to why we at Plymouth called off a meeting (vs Scunthopre) early doors. Now that element are requesting an early announcement as to whether the 4TT is on or off. Doesn't that strike anyone else with a smidge of hypocrisy ??
