    Chris Parkes was escorting two unknown Gents according to Twitter, while our Tone made them a brew. ;)

    He must be short on cash. I hope they paid well.

    The pic from the tweet...this was about 2.30pm. They walked down through the DB to the pitch, CP walked them towards our lot warming up, they shook hands with the guy on the touchline then walked back up the steps to the Centre Circle lounge.

    I don’t recognise them but the guy on the right has a furbie on the side of his head.
    Hope that helps.

    Probably just match sponsors. I would read too much into it.

    That's Chris Parkes.
  • On second inspection I’m pretty sure the guy on the right of the picture is John Pertwee.

    I would imagine we still have a good relationship at director level with Plymouth after the steve Sutherland loan many years ago
  • They are Plymouth directors. The grey-haired one is Michael Dunford, their chief executive.

    So we are being bought by the Plymouth owners and will ground share at Home Park.

    Huge potential to build a bigger stadium, large catchment area too.

    Assume a merger as Charlton Argyle is the next logical and essential step.

    You unicorn lovers will complain but we have to move to be successful in the premier league, there is no other way.

    @Oggy Red and @charente addick will be happy.
  • Derek Ufton was manager of Plymouth during the 1960's.

    Yes, so catering and hospitality income would be huge. Build a hotel to cater to weekending SE Londoners and that would generate £25m profit a season.

    And we could re-name the ground 'Valley Park' (even though it's on top of a hill).
    I'd certainly get a season ticket - unless I'm boycotting because they'd run out of pasties.

    Argyle are sponsored by Ginsters, who make make pasties in Cornwall ...... so need to change the sponsors name.

    Anyway, that's an away shirt ..... and our home kit will be our traditional Charlton red, with keepers' kit in Argyle green.

  • And we will have supporters who live in London and can go to away games .
    Deffo up for this merger
  • Lennie Lawrence was caretaker manager of Plymouth, and then assistant to Malcolm Allison who started he's playing career at Charlton
