And hopefully will continue to do so.
A blot on the football map.

Very surprised the cost of the grandstand remedial works are not the responsibility of the architect and/or the contractors. It is plainly not fit
About £12 million total I would think after the mistakes have been rectified. Which is very expensive. Unless they delay and wait until they can afford a state of the art Grandstand.Where did you get the 40%/50% from?
It cost them a pittance. Argyle have spent a fortune and what's the result? Okay, better corporate facilities but restricted usage of the upper tier with cramped seating for some with a restricted view for some and uncovered seating in the majority of the lower tierAnd hopefully will continue to do so.

With your obvious extensive knowledge, how much would our state of the art grandstand have cost us?About £12 million total I would think after the mistakes have been rectified. Which is very expensive. Unless they delay and wait until they can afford a state of the art Grandstand.
£18 million i would imagine. Yes, a £6 million odd shortfall but a 50 year cure. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.With your obvious extensive knowledge, how much would our state of the art grandstand have cost us?
Let's agree to disagree and say £20 million. That would have included the corners of course.I believe it was £22m, but quite rightly it was thought that it was far too much for our club to afford at the time.
I agreed to disagree on £20 million. So an extra £8 million. I stated on an earlier post Argyle have better corporate facilities but it could have been so much better. I can't see current Grandstand will last 50 years, pretty much like myself.An extra £6m we didn’t have @Mr Gillingham, though I reckon it would have been way more than just £6m (Edit… you’re now saying 10m).
You said it‘s a white elephant in a previous post, which is way off the mark as the opposite is true. The new grandstand has enabled a lot of the good that’s happened at Argyle in the past few years. Lowe and Schumacher wouldn’t have come without it, we wouldn’t have had increased revenue without it, the NHS wouldn’t have used Home Park, we almost certainly wouldn‘t be getting exciting investors on board, the ground would still resemble a 1950s relic that new players and fans would be horrified by.
The positives WAY outweigh the negatives, and the negatives are being addressed. It’s not ideal but it’s really not that bad.

Probably not about what it looks like but they do care about the facility inside it for them and their families. The players’ lounge now is a vast improvement on what they had before.Do players really care about what the grandstand looks like? Dollar is all that matters . Get a grip ffs.
