Fans' Guide | Bristol City (H)

Tickets remain on sale for this match - these can be bought by clicking here.

Home Park Stadium is an all-seater stadium. As such, spectators are expected to occupy their allocated seat throughout the game.

For their own safety, supporters are expected to remain seated throughout the game except when going for refreshments or a toilet break.

Persistent standing also spoils the enjoyment for other spectators, so we remind supporters to think of their fellow members of the Green Army.

Following previous incidents both on match days and non-match days, we feel it is necessary to remind the Green Army of the importance of good fan behaviour.

Behaviour in certain cases around the stadium has been unacceptable, with supporters consistently reminded that their actions impact those around them.

There has also been a rise in rude behaviour towards our Retail and Ticket Office staff.

We understand sometimes not everything is perfect, but our staff are always working hard to deliver the best possible service to visitors, and some behaviour has not been acceptable.

Please be mindful of your words and actions and treat people as you wish to be treated.

Rest assured, we are always striving to give the best possible fan experience on match days and non-match days.

We are all One Argyle.

Ground Regulations
Supporters are reminded about the importance of adhering to ground regulations.

These include pitch incursions, the use of pyrotechnics and missile throwing, as well as any form of discriminatory behaviour towards players on the pitch, staff or your fellow supporters. 

Fans from both clubs are also reminded that persistent standing throughout Home Park is not accepted and supporters will be told to take their seats throughout the game. 

We also wanted to remind fans of the importance of not throwing objects onto the field of play.

Objects or missiles thrown towards the field of play could cause serious injury or harm.

In certain parts of the stadium, we have made changes to how drinks are served in order to ensure this does not happen again, including the removal of lids on entry.

Yellow Hatched Areas
We wanted to remind members of the Green Army of the importance of keeping yellow hatched areas free from supporters.

The yellow hatched areas throughout the stadium are designed to be kept clear for safety reasons and to also provide accessible viewing. 

While we are aware and appreciate people want to stand at the front to watch the warm-up, it is limiting the spectator experience for those in wheelchairs who then cannot see.

Stewards throughout Home Park Stadium will be asked the clear the walkways to ensure every member of the Green Army has the same opportunity to view the players undergo their preparations. 

Supporters are asked to watch the warm-ups from their seats, respecting the wishes of all fans.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Laser Pens
Please note, laser pens are a prohibited item inside Home Park. Any supporter found to have a laser pen will have it taken from their possession immediately.

Argyle fans should be aware that gates open 90 minutes before kick-off.

Our matchday bus service will not be running for Saturday's pre-season clash against Bristol City. The service will resume as normal for our first competitive fixture against Exeter City, on Monday, 10 August.

Plymouth Argyle recognises the importance of, and is committed to, minimising our environmental footprint. A key aspect of the club’s environmental plan is to make travel to and from Home Park on match days sustainable, by making public transport options as accessible as possible, and by supporting and encouraging supporters to use transport options with the lowest environmental impact. 

To see how you can support us with this and for all the information you need to make your travel arrangements as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible, please see our travel guide, here.

If travelling by bicycle, we recommend using Beryl bikes where possible rather than your own to reach Home Park, as there are no bike parking locations within the immediate vicinity for personal bikes. The Beryl parking locations are therefore closer and the most convenient if you are cycling to the stadium. See the above Travel Guide for more information.

Outland Road Car Park, adjacent to Home Park is a very large – and free! – car park. It is council-run, and is typically a park-and-ride car park into the city. It is free to use on match days, but will obviously begin to fill up very early for many fixtures, especially local derbies, Bank Holiday fixtures, etc.

Additional street parking is available surrounding Home Park, but please be mindful of local residents, park sensibly, and be aware of any parking restrictions and permit areas. Considerations should include:

• Don’t park on double yellow lines
• Please avoid dropped kerbs in front of people’s houses
• Please avoid parking on junctions
• Please display a blue badge if you have one

There are also several large pay and display car parks in the city centre, which is within walking distance of Home Park, but not advised for those who struggle to walk beyond short distances.

Parking is also available through our official event parking supplier, JustPark. Full details are available here.

100 members of the Green Army will be allowed to make their way towards the players' car park area to get autographs upon Argyle's arrival at the stadium. 

Numbers have been limited to ensure supporter safety with a number of vehicles passing through this area ahead of kick off.

Argyle are intent on providing a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors who attend matches.

Supporters should be prepared to be searched by our security team as they enter the stadium.

Wherever possible, we will ensure that 'wand' searches are also undertaken by members of the same gender. If that is not the case upon entry, and you feel at all uncomfortable, please raise this with a member of the security team - who will make the necessary arrangements.

As with all major sporting events, bringing bags to the stadium is actively discouraged. However, fans arriving at Home Park with a small personal bag (for example, medical bags or handbags) capable of being stowed under seats is permitted. Please note, supporters should expect this to be searched before entry.

We ask that supporters arrive in plenty of time to avoid queues forming as kick-off approaches.

The Argyle Superstore, located next to the Home Park Ticket Office by the main entrance to the Beacon Electrical Mayflower Grandstand, will be open ahead of kick-off.
