oldstandrobin Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Glad to see Argyle promoted, used to work with a guy, Bob Warren, when I was in the RAF, who played for them. Now passed on. Good for you Bob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan and Cemetery Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Pleased for them, always thought some similarities with us including almost all their history in 2nd and 3rd tiers. Decent support in a bit of a footballing backwater and a less entitled vibe that we get from the supporters of lots of the other teams in the Championship. Hope they get the job done at Port Vale to win the league (and stop MAITFC from winning it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Congratulations Plymouth………….but that’s it. We’ve wanted you promoted just to boost West Country football but from now on you’re rivals and I hope you find life in the championship tough and finish many, many places below us. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to them hope they have a decent season certainly games v them will be more interesting than a Sheff W or Barnsley. Obviously hope we smash them and finish above them.

Realistically the majority of sides who come up do, look at Rotherham & Wigan this season, there was a year recently too when all 3 of the promoted sides went back down, Sunderland are an anomaly, basically a Prem sized club that found themselves in L1. Obvious to say but the biggest challenge is getting players to move down there, footballers are often a conservative bunch & many don’t want to go so far away from everything. I suspect the smarter Argyle fans know all this & avoiding relegation will be the main aim next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very happy with them finishing 4 th from bottom. Living in Devon I’m already getting that feeling like when I lived in Bristol and we’re in the same division as the other lot, surrounded by Janners telling me how good they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here @ralphindevon- my three nephews are Argyle ST holders and so I’ve been hoping they get promoted for them as well as hopefully, me being able to jump on the train at Tiverton for an away day, down south for a change (subject to being able to get a ticket of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last 2 games, Rovers and Burton, have just had one tiny block allocated them. But that’s all they needed, so hopefully we’ll get quite a few more. I wouldn’t be happy if I couldn’t get a ticket for a game almost on my doorstep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday both had allocations of just under 2k I believe, I presume that is the max. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks 1969 Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 If memory serves me we normally get them midweek now ?

GrahamC Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Being widely reported today that their wage bill for this season was just £6m, wow. Fair play to them for getting promoted despite that. Says the average wage bill in the Championship is £32m, which seems a bit high to me post pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the Cider Press by the Barbican and some Oak pub by Plymouth Whore. Its all going off came the texts. Really say I, we ain't seen nothing, its mellow here. Its on the news they've got the dogs out and everything. Nope, nuffin, silent night. Then we went to Union Street. Reds and greens jousting with pub furniture chased by cops on Shergars. Strange night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumacher has worked wonders, thought Lowe was a huge loss at the time but to do what he’s done competing with Ipswich and Wednesday is an excellent achievement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 I see they have sold 4,000 tickets for the game at Port Vale tomorrow for a midday ko, I haven't got a lot of time for Plymouth but I must say that's impressive numbers, it would be like us taking that amount to Burnley distance wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 I used to quite like their ground (although the toilets in the away end were a sight to behold) even though I never saw us win or even score there. Haven’t been there since they re-developed it, but when I’ve seen it on highlights from games it looks a bit bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
