Argyle v Newport - Ready Reckoner

For the first time in more than a decade, Argyle stand on the precipice of promotion.

The Pilgrims need just one more point to exit Sky Bet League Two and continue to bring on back the good times to Britain’s Ocean City.

Standing in their way are resurgent, in-form, Newport County, battling for points to stay alive – and we know, from bitter experience, how hard that teams battling for survival can fight. 

Pilgrims far and wide are descending on the Theatre of Greens, intent on cheering Derek Adams and his team to the echo.

More than 14,000 will cram into Home Park – for a League Two game, remember – displaying passion and emotion that will be unmatched anywhere in the country. 

To help you plan your day, we are offering the following advice:

THERE is only limited home-ticket availability, and there is no pay-on-the-gate facility for home fans. 

A FEW tickets remain available to buy on line at www.eticketing.co.uk/pafc. Once these are sold, no more tickets will be placed on line. All tickets thereafter must be bought at the Home Park Ticket Office, which opens at 9am on match-day.

THE match kicks off at 3pm. However, it would help you, and us, if you could please arrive early and ease the anticipated pressure on the Home Park turnstiles.  

PRE-MATCH entertainment is being provided from 2.10pm by The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, an acclaimed, high-octane ensemble whose hypnotic, heady cocktail of Flamenco, Latin, Jazz and Acoustic Rock has created a whole new genre of music, and been seen by millions across the world live and on TV.

USE public transport, whenever possible.

 

FREE car-parking is available adjacent to the ground, but this will fill up very early. Street parking in the area is available, but please take care to note local restrictions. 

TURNSTILES to the Mayflower Grandstand, Devonport end, Lyndhurst, Barn Park end and Family Zone for All all open at 1.30pm.

 

PLEASE make sure you sit in the seat that corresponds to the number on your ticket. Anyone found in a seat or an area where they should not be could be ejected from the ground.

 

RECEPTION at Home Park will be open from 9am on match-day.

 

THE Superstore at Home Park will also be open from 9am on match-day.

THE award-winning Pilgrim match-day programme, costing £3, will be on sale. 

MONDAY’S game is dedicated to the work of Kick It Out, football’s equality and inclusion organisation. Now in its 23rd year, you can find out more about them and their work by visiting www.kickitout.org. 

IF you are a victim of, or witness any discrimination, whilst at Home Park, please contact your nearest steward or report this confidentially to Kick It Out on 0800 169 9414 or through Kick It Out’s free app which is available on the App Store or Google Play.

 

PLEASE note, it is a criminal offence to enter a sports ground whilst drunk and to bring alcohol into the ground. Anyone trying to enter Home Park whilst drunk will be refused entry and anyone found attempting to bring alcohol into the ground will be handed to the police. There is a three-year football banning order linked to these offences.

 

FANS are asked to be mindful of the Home Park ground regulations and refrain from entering the field of play before, during or after any game. Pitch incursions pose a threat to the safety of players, officials and spectators and will result in the Pilgrims being disciplined by the Football Association. Such incidents have resulted in clubs being charged and subsequently fined up to £200,000 by Regulatory Commissions.

 

THE following articles must not be brought into the ground: knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons, dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels, cans, poles and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety. Anyone found to be in possession of any of these articles inside the ground could face a criminal prosecution and will receive an immediate and indefinite banning order from Home Park.
