Does anyone know how much it's going to cost for 'Stage 2' of the Corner fill-ins?
Nobody knows the cost.

It depends on when it is done and the longer it is, the more it will cost but I doubt you would get much change from £4-5M and rising.

However, let’s get real, in what scenario do you ever see the need for additional capacity?

We know from recent history that even a successful Argyle in the Championship would struggle to get 15000 gates.

The refurbished Grandstand and Mayflower Terrace will take the capacity up to around the 18000 mark. If we could have finally added the missing section at the BP End, it would be nearer to 19000 as we would then be able to use all of the present seats as well as the additional ones that would have been added by completing the Stand, but that is very unlikely to ever happen.

18-19000 is all we are ever likely to need and unless we get bought by a mega-rich owner who wants Argyle to get into the Premier League, we will never need to increase the capacity at Home Park.

Not even justifying this with a proper response.

Do you think Hull, Brighton or Swansea thought that when they redeveloped their stadiums? Have some ambition man.

Except they didn't redevelop their stadia.

The KCOM is owned by Hull City Council and was specially built.

Swansea City Council built Swansea's ground which is shared with a rugby team and was a completely new build.

Brighton's Falmer ground is also a completely new build - but is Brighton's

OK, let's go with your philosophy, never mind the facts, reason or logic and not to mention the absence of a major benefactor, such as was the case for each of the clubs you have listed.

We'll simply wish ourselves into the Premier League because we really, really want it.
