Temp seating

That would be counter productive....I'm sure they've done it before...there is a reasonable slope involved....remember PAFC aren't building it.

How many seats I wonder ?

Look at the poles at the back must block their view

Quote from the firms

Around 20 people are expected to be involved in the work, which could run until Tuesday, and there are set to be 2,243 seats, although Site and Stage said it may be nearer 3,000.

Argyle said over 1,800

Are the temp seats being removed after the game?

If so, is there a link? Or is this speculation?

speculation coming down Thursday.

Here is a view from the old sets, with more safety rails to go along the back.

Thanks Tgwu, from PAFC's point of view, if Argyle win against Liverpool, then it could (depends on hire costs) be worth keeping the seats in for the possible Wolves and Exeter (h) games.

Hopefully they've costed all the likely outcomes and delaying any decision on the outcome of Liverpool game.

I suspect the game might go along similar lines to the Coventry home game back in the 90's, what an atmosphere that was... and what a free kick from big Ian Baird.

Atmos won't be the same, but I can see Argyle unsettling them early on before Liverpool's quality becomes decisive late on.

If the club thought we were in a serious promotion race the seating would be kept until May. Clearly they don't.

It's all about the big game, where is the evidence that Brent gives a toss about promotion.

Pink seats is all that was available at such short notice

They'll have to be strict with no standing in the temp seats, else the old Mayflower and corporate who have been fleeced £120/ head won't see a thing.

The pig master on another site said, all corporate deals are sold out

The Argyle Fans’ Trust is delighted with the news that the club are opening up the Mayflower Terrace for Wednesday’s big game against Liverpool in the FA Cup. The Trust is especially pleased that the club has decided to do this even though it will be making a financial sacrifice in doing so and applauds the sentiment of prioritising supporter satisfaction over profit margins.

The Trust urges the club to consider keeping the terracing in place for future games – including any potential future FA Cup games should we progress against Liverpool and the big Devon Derby match against Exeter on February 11th. The Club is on the cusp of exciting times and the Trust supports examining all options to capitalise upon that, beyond Wednesday’s big tie against Liverpool.

Hope they have plenty of prawn sandwiches in, can't imagine the corporate customers will be given sub standard oggies.

This is Argyle. Whatever it is it'll be sub standard

Moved Argyle Dad's post to allow members to discuss this on one thread.

One Question Bob. You mention financial sacrifice. How much has he sacrificed? Given that the tickets are more expensive, Liverpool have removed their right to a share of the revenue, to claim back the free offers the supporter has to buy another ticket at £22 and he's got sponsors to pay for the "free" offers. Everyone seems to be chipping in but Brent.

I assume you're on the case about the rumours that programme sellers are having to pay for their ticket?

I reckon any technical loss will be absolutely minimal. There are a lot more than 1800 seats going in for a start.

The old seating cost 100k for a WHOLE SEASON, FFS.

The AFT need to press Argyle on how much it is costing and how much it'd be to keep till May.

Any chance to tug their forelocks....the peasant to the master. Don't take her up the big house sir.....!

The free pasty and pint will have been put up by Snozzle Brewery.

The new tickets aren't available online, despite the club saying they would be.

Returned tickets, or segregation area being reduced possibly ?

That, or it's another live firing error.

GREY SEATS

I heard on the grape vine, that officially the seats are coming out today but unofficially they will return for the Exeter game.

are they expecting exeter to draw the same numbers as Liverpool??

no is the answer to that question so it would be silly to pay for more seating when i'll go out on a limb and say the stadium wont be full for this game. double digits yes all 16000 odd no.
