Grandstand Update

[Guiri Green]

I'm surprised there is no talk/discussion with additional income coming from fans. Buy a brick/seat. Sponsorship. It would be nice to contribute if it helped and the fans money could be seen after the stand was complete.

Done the brick thing, won't bother again.

 

[Biggs]

ill say it again..if it was good it would have been leaked.

Not sure about that logic...

Perhaps people would simply like to see those who are running the business - and ultimately stand to benefit from the appreciating asset when they sell - continue to fund the improvements. The financial benefit will be theirs if and when it comes and so, therefore, should the risk.

Me too, there was a time when Argyle leaked like a sieve, not any more. The club has tightened up considerably in recent years.

No leaks means nothing.

Just an excuse to have a snipe. :sigh:

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick but can't see anywhere that there will definitely be permanent seating on the Mayflower Terrace. Apologise if I have missed it but can anyone confirm this will be the case.

I think you concern is being lost in terminology. The Mayflower seating will effectively become part of the reconfigured modern grandstand, and not in the future described as the Mayflower seating enclosure.

Will we see naming rights in exchange for cash?

If there's money to be taken, take it. Every penny someone else gives us is a penny the club don't have to find from operating expenditure.

In days gone by I used to think it would be sad to call our home turf anything but Home Park. But then when you think about it in practical terms only the club and the media will use any new name anyway, we fans will always call it Home Park

We had the FES Devonport End in 2012 but no-one referred to it as that.

Zackly, corporate can do what it likes, the fans won't change.

All I would hope though it that it wasn't an embarrassing moniker we got saddled with, like the Tampax Arena or summat

Slip me £50 and I'll refer to it anyway you want


Anyone who wants to part with serious money can call it whatever they like.

Ok thanks QG will be good to see the plans when available, sounds promising.

kernow19 not having a snipe. But some fans have seen the plans and all i mean is if it was mindblowingly good someone would have leaked it.

However as mentioned Home Park is no longer is a mine of information.

Appreciate the generous loan from Hallett and lets hope the extra revenue this season is siphoned into the development too. I reckon we made an extra 1.75 million from FA cup, TV money and Nelson cash.
