A study into increasing Home Park capacity

The Pilgrims have played in front of 16,000-plus sell-out crowds at the Theatre of Greens throughout 2023 due to the superb success the team have had on the pitch.

Never going to happen under this shower.

Won't be necessary once we're back in League 1!!

Argo must be the only club to have actually intentionally reduced capacity. Regardless of whether we are relegated this season or not the capacity must be increased to at least 22,000 with a view to future promotion campaigns back to this level.

The narrowed walkway and seating in the Mayflower are most impressive. Big thanks to the Grandstand working group for all their efforts in advice.
