Grandstand - main contractor appointed

[andyr1963]

The main contractor HAS been appointed Andy, and appointed a few weeks ago as it happens.

Having come back and read this again, I did misunderstand, I took the thread title and jumped to the conclusion that the Grandstand itself had the Main Contractor signed and sealed. All the enabling work is underway HOORAY but until the second phase i.e. the Grandstand NOT the Far Post Club or the tent or ticket office contract is signed I will continue to wonder, why?


So has the contract for the refurbishment of the actual Grandstand been signed? Edited to add "Rhetorical"

Wring group have been appointed to demolish according to their tweet: LINK

Taking the terracing out and most of the stand for a rebuild. Major transformation going on.

And GL Events has been appointed to rebuild it all. LINK

GL events UK has been appointed to carry out a stadia redevelopment at Home Park Stadium, home of Plymouth Argyle FC.

That's as much as we know and are likely to know I would imagine.

I take it to mean that the first phase of redevopment will be done as and when that particular enabling work is complete, allowing Wring to move on to the terrace and Grandstand enabling work before redevopment work can commence there. Just my theory but it sounds right to me.

Good spot!

It's happening!

Sorry if I’m sounding silly, but are they refurbishing the upper tier in “Phase 1” too, as there is no mention of that in the post above showing the timescales?

 

[jimbogreen]

The PCC planning portal can be a bit of a pain, so I took a screen shot of the schedule of works

@Leon Horn - Yes, all of the Mayflower is being refurbished. If you look on the image, the Mayflower extension and internal work is scheduled between Jan - Aug 2019.

The lower bit is being COMPLETELY rebuilt, but the upper tier is receiving new seating, a new roof and realignment of the seating and concourse. So nowhere near as major as the other work, but should still look considerably better than at present.

Not sure how different the concourse will be, but I hope they keep the old No Smoking etc signs. I always love seeing the accumulation of 50-odd years of signage and the different fonts and colours.

(I’m aware this is a very, very niche interest :lol

Looking at that then, it would appear that we are actually ahead of schedule!

Item #3 - Stage 2 Main Contract Works that was supposed to start on June 18 has already started.

Excellent!

What will the players use as changing rooms with the new ones not ready until feb 2019

Asked the same a few pages ago, I don't think anyone knows as there was no genuine answer.

The players will change by the side of the pitch. It's a drive by the club to attract more ladies to the match, bloody good idea if you ask me.

No. Main Contract works haven’t started yet. This is due to a Main Contract not having been signed yet.

That's what I heard. The home shirt is actually the away shirt. Our alternate strip is referred to as "skins'

 

[Tom Cobbley]

They could change in the Life Centre and walk across

 

[Quizmike]

They are changing at home and arriving in their kit.

The away team have to change on their coach
