    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.

    New caterers for the exec lounge perhaps?

    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.
    And you'll get more than 14 chips and a proper Cornish pasty.

    you'd be the wrong side of the Tamar for that

  • Impressive that Bill Clinton has time to be Director of Plymouth Argyle with all his UN and international humanitarian workload.

    Spoke with someone at the club last week. His view on the sale is that Aussies don't have the dough to start with and fawaz isn't in the frame. I haven't bothered reading anything before this post so if it's already been mentioned I apologise.

    You seem to have a grip on reality.
    The Aussies probably have enough money to buy Charlton but probably think the current owners price is well wide of what they are prepared to shell out. Likewise the other guy and the mystery British lot.

    Chicken and Mushroom and kettle, if you use the microwave I recommend you chuck a spoon in there with it.

    Good spot, Lincs.

    Outside the ground, I believe they're Ivor Dewdney's pasties, made in Plymouth - so you'd be right, but I find them fine.
    Their bakery is only a mile or so from the border at the River Tamar, but by definition not quite Cornish.

    Ginsters, who sponsor Argyle and whose pasties can be bought in the ground, are made in Callington in Cornwall - so at least qualify as "Cornish"
    But you don't want to be buying one of they, down here living in Cornwall, we regard them as factory produced supermarket fodder .... 'tis not a proper pasty, boy.

    Rowes or even Warren's make a much better Cornish pasty, but I really like Chough's in Padstow, baked on the premises.

    When Roland finally slings his hook, I sincerely hope Charlton recovers better than his Belgian club STVV, where attendances, far from recovering, have continued to slide under its new Japanese ownership.

    Of course, the stadium is still part of Roland's empire... but even that is currently costing him money...

    Oh dear.
    What a pity.
    Never mind, Roland - perhaps property development also isn't quite the goldmine you anticipated?

    I thought a pasty was just a pie without as much meat and twice the pastry?🤤

    A proper pasty is meat potato and veg one half with fruit in the other half.

    Main course and dessert innit?

    I thought what made it a pasty rather than a pie was the inclusion of a baked disposable handle for dirty pit miners or palace supporters?
