still no news (grandstand)

[Bermudian Green]

With all this stadium talk, I couldn't help but remember a quote from the owner of the Miami Marlins baseball team when he was talking about their new stadium. Amongst the requirements, was this vision:

"We had to think about some kind of design for it and what it might look like. I really did not want it to be just another ballpark. I wanted it to be a statement of what Miami is all about -- a contemporary city. Miami is an important American city and architecture makes your city great. The idea was to create something very contemporary."

Oh for that kind of thinking in Plymouth.

Yeah, we should design the new stand so it moans and groans at the slightest breath of wind!!!!!!!

Go on......

My prediction is an announcement in June or July or so that tickets will be available on the day in the grandstand next season and that season ticket holders can move their season tickets there if they wish. Let's see.

Such a huge pity this never got built - a quantum leap, design-wise, on what's currently being proposed (and will likely never see the light of day now). Just another in a long line of Plymouth pipe-dreams? :roll:

Yes, that sounds like the most likely outcome.

I don't fancy too many more seasons without spectators sitting behind the dug-outs - we need to intimidate opposition players and coaches.

Agreed, I'm sure the demise of the crowd behind the dugouts has helped dispel the thought Fortress Home Park.

The visiting managers must love Home Park. No barracking and their teams can play on THE best pitch in the bottom two divisions.

One of the best pitches in the football divisions Ian.

The kicker is that we aren't best suited to it, yet.

That has to be in the managers philosophy. fudgeing eradicate that long ball poo and and some quailfy in that can play play the ball on the deck.

I agree, the 'football' has been less than good.

Amazingly, and I said it at the time, some of Fletch's games were really, really good football, we just couldn't win.

Cheltenham away a few years ago, when we lost, was one of the best games of football I've witnessed for a very long time.

Strange old game, I'll never understand it.

Does anyone know if it's the final game in the mayflower grandstand on Saturday v hartlepool ?

Season ticket holders are not being given option for grandstand next season ?

Will be in the grandstand on Saturday as it could be the final game in there

And finally let's hope for 4 a WIN !!!!!

 

[TynanWozGr8]

Can we please have a poll to see how many on here actually believe the new grandstand will be completed by October 2016

Personally I believe the chances are remote to nill.

The implications of the stand / shopping centre etc not being completed when so much has been relied on it for future financial planning are more than alarming.

 

[newquaygreen]

Is there anything stopping the dugouts being moved to the
Lyndhurst side ? Use every advantage surelys

Biggest issue is having the sun in your eyes I guess

 

[FordGreen]

Those dugouts are bleddy awful - WAY too big. At first, they looked like upturned boats but now they've been creosted they look more like half built sheds! Bring back the glass/perspex ones, says I - at least you could see what the hell was going on if you were in/on the Mayflower.

The answer to your second question is NO
