Another set of brilliant images. Thank you so much.

I don’t make the same mistake twice. I make it three or four times. You know. Just to be sure.

I thought that too. But that's always the way with construction - when you see the area marked out with bricks it always looks small. Something to do with perspective and the way the brain perceives things. As soon as it's up and into the fitting out stage things suddenly look much larger from the inside.

Another Sunday evening treat. Fab.

Don’t know what others think but the exit gates to the side of the facade and the other one next to the remaining turnstiles rather spoil the look. Are these getting replaced? If not I’d love to see two new gates (something like the Anfield Gates). Club badge. Semper Fidelis above. We have some brilliant designers on here and metalwork comnections ..., maybe something Pasoti could get involved with fundraising wise and contribute to what I believe was a supporters funded project in the 30’s? Be good for supporters in another era to link with those in the past to once again creating something lasting and iconic ? Thoughts ?

So long as the away rooms are smaller than the home ones we'll be fine!

I also bought they looked small, with 18 players (11+7), plus management, physio ,etc, (bit cramped), showers, toilets etc, looked small, could be my dodgy eyes

I am loving these as well, so thanks to GOS and all the other people are chronicling the work being done on the grandstand. I have to be honest, at times it was a tad emotional seeing the old girl being taken apart, first few years supporting Argyle I was a regular on the Mayflower terrace, so always had an affinity for that part of Home Park in particular, but seeing the work done also makes me proud that Argyle will have a stand befitting a club of Argyle's size. Fingers crossed bigger crowd's, facilities for conferencing etc will see a benefit to Argyle on the pitch. Keep up the good work GOS, in years to come it will be great to look back at these sets of pics so we can see the old girl in her former glory, and with new splendour.

Can’t tell you how priceless these photos are..... massive thank you to GOS. For all the greens that live abroad & miss going to Home Park, the photos keep us updated & informed and feel a little less left out, as I said priceless!

Fascinating, thank you Steve and Bob.

By the end of it we'll all know how to build a stadium !
