WORK which will see Plymouth Argyle able to use the upper tier of the Mayflower Grandstand at full capacity will not be able to begin until the summer of 2023, club owner and chairman Simon Hallett has revealed.
The League One club's board of directors have approved a programme intended to solve issues with seat comfort and fans getting into and out of the upper tier.
However, Argyle will again have to operate with a reduced capacity in the upper tier for 2022/23, which Hallett described as 'clearly unfortunate for fans having to tolerate the seating for another season!
There will also be financial consequences for the club because they will not be able to sell all of the seats for high-demand matches.
Argyle announced before the first home League One game of this season against Gillingham last August they would be restricting the number of tickets sold in upper tier of the grandstand.
