Hi guys,
Argyle fan here in peace.
You may remember a couple of seasons ago celebrating your promotion to the Premier League by winning 2-0 at Plymouth while we were relegated to League 1. Things have got worse for us since then, we're now in League 2 and liquidation is a real possibility.
As you may know, our club is still in administration as the season starts. The administrator picked his preferred bidder many weeks ago but as yet that bidder has not completed the deal, as deadlines have apparently repeatedly been extended. The bidder remains anonymous, but seeks to take ownership of the ground for development purposes while selling the club to Peter Ridsdale for £1.
The real danger is that the administrator becomes liable for staff wages this week - which have not been paid in full for several months - and that they will seek to liquidate the club to recoup their own costs rather than turn to an alternative buyer, James Brent, who is waiting in the wings, who has been talking positively to the Argyle Fans Trust, and who is seeking to negotiate the sale of the stadium to the Council on a community-based initiative.
Please consider signing our petition to the administrator to adopt the alternative bid:

Many thanks if you read this far, and good luck when your season kicks off tomorrow!
