Club Statement

PLYMOUTH Argyle has implemented a number of measures in response to the EFL’s decision to suspend football activities until Friday, April 3 due to the current coronavirus epidemic.

Measures include the temporary closure of Club Argyle – the Pilgrims’ brand-new hospitality and conferencing centre – as well as limiting ticketing and retail activities to telephone and online sales.

All player engagements will also be suspended until further notice, with the club’s focus on ensuring that our playing squad remain in excellent physical and mental condition for when our Sky Bet League Two campaign resumes.

Argyle chief executive officer Andrew Parkinson said: “We are obviously disappointed that our exciting season, on and off the pitch, needs to be temporarily suspended. However, we are supportive of the EFL’s decision, and have taken steps to follow the guidance issued early on Friday.”

“We understand that our supporters will have concerns about how this news affects their tickets, hospitality and event bookings, and we will ensure to provide regular updates as the situation unfolds.

“We thank you for your understanding.”

With immediate effect, the club has enacted the following measures:

TICKETING AND RETAIL

  • Online ticket sales on argyletickets.com for all football fixtures will be temporarily suspended until further notice.
