Fans' Guide | Ipswich Town (H)

Tickets for Saturday's Sky Bet Championship match are completely sold out and Argyle will once again be backed by a packed Home Park Stadium.

Please note, turnstiles will open 90 minutes before kick-off with supporters advised to enter through the turnstile identified on their match ticket. However, if neighbouring turnstiles have shorter queues, supporters are permitted to enter these to speed up access to the stadium.

If you can no longer make the game, please aim to utilise our Ticket Exchange which gives season-ticket holders the ability to sell their designated seat at face value to other supporters. Season-ticket holders will have until three hours prior to kick-off to repost their tickets. If they sell, then their ticket account will be credited with the respective value.

Saturday's game is our dedicated Level Playing Field fixture. 

Level Playing Field (LPF) believes that being a disabled person is a social issue and that an individual only becomes disabled because of the social, attitudinal and environmental barriers that the individual faces.

Their efforts are focussed on removing these barriers in all sports. LPF and its members will know they have succeeded when:

• all fans can enjoy an equal experience at live sports events
• all stadia and sports venues are fully accessible and inclusive
• all customer and/or fan services are equal and inclusive
• disabled people are seen as customers with a commercial value

The game against Ipswich Town is our chance to support these efforts with an array of activity taking place throughout the day. The playing squad will warm up in t-shirts showcasing the Level Playing Field logo, while educational content will be shown across the big screen and throughout the Fan Zone. 

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and Argyle are doing our bit to help fans check their health. 

The club, in partnership with men’s cancer charity the Chestnut Appeal, will be hosting a free clinic ahead of tomorrow's game in the Life Centre.

All appointments have been fully booked ahead of time but there will still be information provided should people need it. 

If you are aged 50 and over, or over 45 with the possibility of higher risk factors then please head to this website and book your place at another clinic to get tested: www.mypsatests.org.uk/Events/ 

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. 

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

The same amenities will be available to the Green Army as previously, gates will just open 30 minutes later than earlier in the season.

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.

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.

Further information on new parking options is available below. 

Our half-time challenge will continue for the game tomorrow against Ipswich Town. 

For every Sky Bet Championship game, we select two fans to play, who get one attempt each to try to pass the ball as close to the centre spot as possible from the halfway line touchline. The distance from the centre circle will then be measured, and we are keeping a running leaderboard over the course of the season. 

At the final league game, the top three overall on the leaderboard will return to participate in the grand final, where each participant will take part again. Whoever is closest to the centre spot in the grand final will take home a cash prize of £1,000.

Copies of our award-winning match day programme, The Pilgrim, are once again available around the stadium for purchase at £3.50, while a limited number will also be available to purchase from the Argyle Superstore.

Our 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship programme subscription service is also available for sign-ups.

The popular subscription service will be the only way supporters can guarantee that they receive a copy of The Pilgrim, for every home game this season.

The subscription model offers both home delivery and click-and-collect options, allowing supporters to select the most efficient delivery method for their circumstances. 

Please note that the subscription is only available for the Pilgrims’ 2023/24 league fixtures. Cup programmes will be available to purchase from the Argyle Superstore and online.

For any accessibility or match-day support queries, our dedicated Disability Liaison Officer can be contacted on disability@pafc.co.uk.

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, is open until 30 minutes after full-time.

The Evergreen Suite, adjacent to the Home Park Ticket Office, is open ahead of the game.

Not one of the more than 6,000 Evergreen members? No problem, you can speak to our dedicated supporter engagement team to find out more.

Members of the team will be on hand to share more detail about the scheme, which sees members contribute directly to funding projects within the club's first-team and Academy operations, and help supporters sign up, if they would like to.
