@AFCSTAUSTELL
, mostly the group of loyal players who in pre season stuck with the club when many deserted it , those players who have been with the club through good & bad
Wake up , check email , see email ,do a little dance , book world cruise , log on check result - £2.60 - cancel world cruise , clean up cat sick . FML.
Until you’ve stood on that sideline (any sideline) with all the pressures that come with it , particularly at this club , you have no idea how hard it is . Massive respect to a guy who put his life on hold to manage his local club , all the best

Heard a few murmurs in the last couple of home games and perhaps rightly so about lack of desire and heart , accept we were poor in those defeats BUT anyone at the ground today I’m sure was so proud of the team , wouldn’t swap a single one of them , we are still in it ⚪️⚫️🤛
Congratulations to all players and staff

hero , remember listening to my Dad and Grandad rave about him as I was growing up and scoring at home park after delivering the milk in the morning , a true legend .
Former Argyle forward Mike Bickle, who scored 74 goals in 195 games for Argyle in the 1960s and 70s, has died at the age of 79.
Our condolences to all of Mike's family and friends.
Below, we pay tribute to one of our finest ever goalscorers.

Quarter final of the senior cup , local derby , and you’ve got a picture of snow on the back and more of a write up on foxhole gerrans than st Austell Wadebridge in the “st Austell voice “ this is banter right ?
Great chairman , club stalwart and away game drinking partner but his performance on the line at Pensilva away in the duchy prem has tainted his reign for me , ⚪️⚫️
