1996, however, due to on-going issues with the venue's roof, the team spent much of the 1991–1992 season playing their home matches at the China Fleet Club, Ivybridge Community College, the John Kitto Centre and Torbay Leisure Centre in Paignton. Though the Pavilions arena has been approved by international governing body FIBA for hosting European competition matches, former Raiders' chairman Bob Widdecombe has stated the club's ambition is to move to a new purpose-built arena that would be solely owned by the organisation and would be more suited to hosting European competition. In 2021 the Raiders were forced to withdraw from the 2021/22 season due to an increase in the rent for use of Plymouth Pavilions. Plymouth City Council continues to work with Plymouth Raiders to find a solution, with longer-term plans to build a multi-sport arena which has the capacity to deliver a venue for spectator events and act as a home for Plymouth Raiders.
