CATCHING THE BUG

Posted on: Fri 25 Sep 2009

THE Argyle squad will enjoy the privilege of running out to a packed Home Park on Sunday afternoon.

A major ticketing initiative has ensured our televised clash with Nottingham Forest will be a full house and manager Paul Sturrock is hoping some of the new visitors will catch the football bug.

The day also represents the public launch of Devon and Cornwall's bid, with Plymouth at its heart, to be a host city for the 2018.

Luggy is now hoping for the Green Army to repeat the superb backing given to his team in the unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Watford ten days ago.

"We all got the bug from going to football with our parents," he said.

"It is not very often we have a full house. The Board has shown their intent and it is a great boon for the club because there will be percentage who get the bug.

"It is a great tonic. The better the atmosphere, the better for the team.

"It is important that we get as many people in the stadium as possible, and to back the side. You want new supporters to come along and hopefully get the bug.

"The home support has backed the team until the end of games. They have vented their frustrations at the end, which is only proper. Against Watford, they got right behind their team in the second-half, and I'm hopeful that will happen on Sunday.

"The launch of the World Cup Bid means there will be lots of fun and a full house will be fantastic for the players."
