New Line Marker purchased

Much to the delight of our ground staff a new line marker has been purchased that can lay down 4" lines. This width of line is required for FA competitions. They have been informed however that there is no increase in the amount of white marker they can use due to the credit crunch!!

Controversy at the Mill

Plymouth Parkway's scheduled game against Torpoint in the Peninsula League was called off an hour and a quarter before the game was scheduled to kick off due to a frozen pitch. This was considered a debatable decision and with so many officials and spectators expected at the game it was a great disappointment to the officials of Torpoint.

Club Confirms Review of Status

Due to the proposed Clubhouse Developments and the ever increasing costs involved in running a football club the size of Plymouth Parkway it was agreed at the January Executive Committee meeting to review the status of the Club. Options include charity status due to the breadth of the social inclusion work we undertake, becoming a limited company by guarantee or other possibilities. Chairman Mark Rowles who along with Jim Parsons the Club President have been tasked by the committee to report back their findings for the February meeting said " this review is urgently required as with the lease negotiations nearly concluded and the Bids for the Clubhouse at an advanced stage the status of the Club needs to be confirmed. This especially the case when your capital and revenue costs for the financial year 2009 - 2010 could be in excess of £ 1.2 million. These are exciting as well as scary times and the Club must ensure financial prudence." Mark Rowles added- all clubs are having to review their finances and it is imperative that as a Club we have a management structure that is both flexible and professional and can meet the challenges of the current credit crunch."

Personal Thanks from the Chairman

Through the Website I would like to thank all the committee members, players and spectators at Plymouth Parkway who have supported me through quite a turbulent few months of personal issues to deal with.
