As the intention appears to be confined to third/fourth level membership, why not build a small stand with a large standing area in front. Would be cheaper and increase capacity at a stroke. If the Premier is ever reached (same old Argyle) then build a larger stand over the standing area.

I would love to stand on the Mayflower again but I beleive, once we reached the Championship and given 3 years standing grace it can never be reverted? Please let the people in the know answer that one.

Not particularly in the know, but those are definitely the Football League rules yes.

This one always winds me up. It's man-made rules, not laws of physics. If someone at the club had the balls to mount a legal challenge then the glaring inconsistencies between our situation and say Burton or Bristol rovers would be apparent. It's probably Restraint of Trade. Then we could get the Mayflower Terrace back and there you go, capacity problem solved. I could probably even live with Brent's ministand behind it if this happened. And imagine the PR gains...if only there were a PR guru at the club.

But we know it can't happen as Brent will be commandeering the land the current stand sits on for 'other' projects as the new stand gets sqeezed up against the pitch - I still can't see how if the club are paying the lease on x-amount square footage then get it reduced for external efforts!! And while we're on it - is this road thing coming out of the £10mill?

Getting sick and tired of this mini grandstand shite now.

It was I who won the Euromillions last night. This morning I have submitted a planning application for a 40k capicity stadium at the current location of Plymouth Albion's Brickfields site.

It will be a ground share scheme with Albion. The ground will have a 3k safe-standing area in the 'new' Demport end, A huge electronic scoreboard above the away end, There will be a 1500 capacity sports bar (called Ronni's) and further subsidized sports bars running under the concourse on match days and concerts, which there will be at least 10 every close season.

The pitch will have under-soil heating. There will be generous facilities for our disabled supporters and a small cage in the away end for known Argyle racists. Banquet and conference facilities will be provided in the way of a separate facility built on to the side of one of the stands, along with shopping outlets - all combined to generate a guaranteed £10 million extra revenue per season.

A 5000 multi story car-park will be built adjacent to the ground with covered walkways leading up to the ground if it's raining. Along these walkways will be fast food outlets and official merchandise sellers. All Argo fans will be allowed a free flag per game to collect as you walk from the parking facility.

The 1500 capacity sports bar will be a nightclub Wed-Sun night and will also be a venue for local bands 7 nights a week. It will also be available to hire for private functions.

It goes without saying - if you're a fat scheming lying nasty bastard and a control freak, or if you fly Fokker bi-planes on you flight simulator with your cock in a peanut butter sandwich whilst crying because your wife ran off with a space-ship commander, or you in the queue to get get your head surgically removed from Brent's arse - you will not be permitted to enter the Nirvana of our shiny new facility (BNP) 'Brickfields New Park' - in fact, you will get the shite kicked out of you by midget amputee henchmen, hired by me.


PS, I'll let you know how the planning application goes.

You forgot to say where you are placing the Bordello.

Deep in the bowels (no pun intended) of BNP. Superfans only need apply. Unless you can fly spaceships.
