Or Mariner & Rafferty, both scored in a boxing day 2 all draw back in the '70s, Merrick & Collier scored for us

Wasn't there another striker from Plymouth that we were always linked with every close-season? Pretty sure by the time we eventually signed him he was over the hill & rubbish.

Sean McCarthy. John Ward picked him ahead of Jason Roberts after the latter had scored in a win at Oldham. The rest is history.

They took nearly 3000 to Preston on Saturday that's very  impressive considering the distance.

Bit of a grudge match

A name I'll never forget, he scored against us for Argyle at my first City game

Just a reminder that there are NO trains tomorrow

Was he the chap that scored a hattrick in a 4-3 win on a Tuesday night in the 1980s? I've been trying to get the name without looking it.

Indeed, the day I was taught my first rude footie song…about Tynan!!!

[ExiledAjax]

Presumably Plymouth are going to wear their away kit? May seem a stupid question but it'll be unwatchable for me and others if they wear the green home kit.

Currently half way across the English channel having cut my holiday short to be back in time for the game, with added spice my inlaws are from Plymouth

Think it could be a tad lively tomorrow evening COYR

Surprised we still have quite a few tickets remaining given the member offer. Hopefully majority of season ticket holders actually attend this one - the empty seats in the supposedly sold out South stand are frustrating.

Frustrating. Basically all member offer tickets sold out now. A group of 3 of us wanting to go, but all individual seats left in the Dolman. We'd have to cough up nearly couble to sit one block further into the Dolman. We'll probably skip it to be honest

This is why the club should do something to try and free up seats that aren’t going to be used for whatever reason, in the south stand it’s usually because the seats belong to children that rarely go.

Is the game on the red button tomorrow?

You could get the individual seats, then wait until kickoff and look for 3 together.
It wont sell out and there will be loads around.

Thanks, I will pass it on to father in law. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

I think tomorrow will be interesting.

An opportunity for sure, but Plymouth haven't been thrashed yet. Won 2, drew 1, lost 3- competitive in all in varying ways.

Expect it will be be an open game- would be surprised if it's any sort of gimmee but definitely should be going for a win here.

[ollywhyte]

Our Twitter posted 21k tickets sold, is that overall or just home end? Only appears to be 2.5k tickets left on the site 

21k + 3.5k away = 24.5k attendance?

The maths does adds up to leave the 2.5k remaining, but can’t see the attendance being that much?

[Mr Popodopolous]

I believe Plymouth have sold their allocation which is 3k.

Ah thanks, I read in one place they sold out an allocation of 3k though. Will try to find.

Could always be poor reporting.

Around 22k I reckon.

Maintains the 22k + average attendance (or tickets sold for the pedants).

Expect they do, but we certainly have had a bit of history with Plymouth. Especially in the 90’s. Drinking in a pub called the Cherry Tree ( I think) Chaos down there. We drew 0-0

Yes,as I said earlier, I lived down there for for for few years and they do not like us at all . The Cherry  tree not a sensible away pub at all. Mind saw one or two good gigs in the Cherry tree in my time down there.

Just over 3000 sell out for Plymouth, certainly not 3400

I am sure I read 3.4k somewhere else too and their official site didn't seem to specify exact numbers.
