Green Taverners looking forward to exciting Home Park future

The marquee, opposite to the Mayflower Grandstand and alongside the Argyle players' gym, is a popular meeting spot for supporters on matchdays, before and after the games. It is also the venue for a wide range of other non-matchday events.

The Green Taverners said on their website: "We are delighted to announce that the Green Taverners Marquee has officially received its completion certificate from Plymouth City Council Building Control.

"We have also secured an agreed lease extension through to the end of the 2027/28 season, giving the Green Taverners and our members greater certainty for the seasons ahead.

"Our thanks go to Plymouth Argyle Football Club, particularly (chief executive offiicer) Paul Berne, who championed the lease extension. We greatly appreciate the club’s continued support and commitment to the GTs.

"PCC Building Control have been a pleasure to work with throughout the project, and we would like to sincerely thank them for their assistance, guidance and support in helping us reach this important milestone."

Guy Cooper, building control manager, said: "The Green Taverners team have delivered an impressive purpose-built marquee that provides a high-quality, welcoming space for football supporters, while also serving as a fantastic community facility.

"From the outset, Gary (McGuire)'s vision, commitment and determination to deliver a facility of a high standard was clear to see.

"The positive and collaborative working relationship between the Green Taverners and Plymouth City Council Building Control has continued to strengthen over the years, with a shared focus on achieving a safe, compliant and high-quality facility.

"The marquee provides a valuable meeting place for the Green Army before and after matches, supporting both the matchday experience and the wider community.

"It is a great example of what can be achieved through enthusiasm, commitment and effective partnership working. We are delighted to have been a small part of this facility and wish the GTs every success for the forthcoming season and the future."

The Green Taverners have also extended their thanks to Bright Solicitors and Studiojb Architectural Services for their advice and support throughout the project.

Julie Milton, Bright Solicitors managing partner, said: "Bright Solicitors is incredibly proud to have supported the Green Taverners as their new marquee has become a reality.

"The Green Taverners play such an important role in supporting Plymouth Argyle and the local community, and we’re delighted to have contributed to a project that will benefit supporters for many years to come."

Jason Battle, of Studiojb, commented: "Studiojb are proud to be associated with the successful delivery of this project with the client, Gary McGuire, and hope the people who use the GTs marquee create memories throughout the season.

"A great facility has been achieved for the Green Taverners and their matchday experience at PAFC. Without Gary’s determination and endeavour, this project would never have happened, and he deserves considerable credit for making this possible for GT members.”

The Green Taverners added: "This has been a significant project for the Green Taverners, and we are incredibly proud to have created a fantastic new facility for our members and the wider community. A huge thank you to everyone who has played a part in making the new Green Taverners Marquee a reality.

"We look forward to welcoming supporters through the doors, creating many more memories together, and enjoying what promises to be an exciting future for the Green Taverners."
