Whilst officially the opening will be to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bulls world-famous win over Newcastle United in the FA Cup, un-officially there is a view that the re-opening will prove that, despite claims by former chairman Graham Turner that the building was beyond repair, it is ecomonical to bring it back into use and, at long last, remove the eyesore from the approach to the Edgar Street ground.
"There are no plans," said Turner in September 2009.
"Nothing can be developed, it would have to be pulled down and started again. It can't be patched up the cost would be colossal."
According to the OS, local firm Nationwide Electrical Services are undertaking the majority of the work. The choice of this company goes along with chairman David Keyte's aim to work with local suppliers where possible. Changing caterers to Ascaris from national company Lindley Catering is another example of the club going local.
Meanwhile here's a reminder of the what happened to the sportsmans club in October 1995.
The club was built in 1973/74 at a cost of £200,000. It was officially opened by Joe Mercer in a special ceremony in 1974.
And for the next 21 years it became a much loved part of Edgar Street.
Until October 2nd.
The fire was believed to have been arson and some months later a man from Plymouth did face charges. However there were many who thought that others might have been involved.
Here's another report from the time.
Football club bosses last night pledged to play on despite an arson attack which caused hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage at Hereford United's Edgar Street ground.
More than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze at its peak in the early hours yesterday.
The Third Division club is now in a race against time to make the ground safe for its game against Torquay United on Saturday.
Structural engineers have been called in to assess any damage to the main stand and the Football League will have to be satisfied with the safety of the ground before the game can go ahead.
The blaze started shortly after midnight on Sunday and gutted the Sportsman's Social Club and then swept into the second floor Starlite Rooms above.
Severe damage was caused to offices and the bootroom with footballs distorted out of shape by the heat.
Police believe an accelerant was used to start the fire.
The club will have to assess damage to the electrical systems, computers, phones, security TV, public address systems, photocopiers and other machines.
Arsonists are believed to have struck at the club last Tuesday but petrol poured through a door failed to set it alight.
Managing director Robin Fry, dressed in a tracksuit as he cleaned up said "We have had two years of vandalism - this is the ulitimate."
But he reassured fans everything would be done to make the ground useable for Saturday.
Director and club secretary David Vaughan stressed "The main business of football goes on.
"Assuming the fire was started deliberately I fail to understand the mentality of people who do that sort of thing."
To add to the problem of the fire it was later revealed that there had been problems with the insurance.
