Argyle on course to buy Home Park
There is no place like Home Park for Plymouth
Plymouth are poised to become owners of Home Park after agreeing a £2.7m deal to buy the freehold.
The purchase from Plymouth city council will free Argyle from a 125-year lease and allow them to finish developement.
Argyle chairman Paul Stapleton said: "We've been working hard with the council to find ways to continue the process of improving the club.
"It's a step towards our goal of providing Plymouth with a team that ranks with the best in the country."
The purchase will have to be rubber-stamped by the council's cabinet at a meeting next week.
Argyle will then be able to forge ahead with the completion of Home Park's development.
Three sides of the ground have been rebuiult, to a single-tier, fully-covered stand, leaving just the Mayflower stand to be completed.
Once this has been done, Home Park will have a capacity of 18,600.
