Police

Looking forward to working along side Argyle staff tomorrow as we welcome Wigan, we are excited to be testing out our latest technology available as we launch our dedicated drone unit at Home Park

Should be a good game for those that go particularly as Wigan will bring a good few down. Sometimes it's good to play a team on a long unbeaten run - will be a good test of where Argo are. Think Wigan will win, but if we do get something from this game it will definitely be a good result.

Draw would be decent result

I am torn between an Argyle win or a draw.

It should be a cracking game for those that do go, you have got to be looking at somewhere between 11,000 - 12,500 for the crowd figure, with a fair few from Wigan making the journey down. Last I read was that they had sold 400 out of 750.

400 is a bit pathetic when you’re pissing the league.

More news on the Match day thread opening page.

but this made me laugh,

Wigan make the long trip to Cornwall to face Plymouth Argyle in our first match at Home Park in over 13 years.

Northern Wankers will never make it that far.
Not hard enough.

Looking forward to the Academy lads doing a lap of honour at Half Time. One of the DRF Youth (Plymouth Division) will be amongst them (Well done Ashley Manuell, Argyle's future Number 1).

Also looking forward to D&C's Drone Squad. getting in some practice for Blackburn, Bristol and Pompey no doubt.

Brents drone squad will be out in force also.
Going for a draw for this one.

Well, that's that then! 1-3

Game over, only 5pts away from drop zone.

Brent has weakened the team going into business end of the season. These mullerings will be the norm from now until May.

Where's the money gone brent?

Was planning to go to the Gulls v Bromley game , changed my mind at the last minute, glad I did Gulls went down four nil. Doomed I'm afraid.

Lmfao. Competive budget vs lame ass disinterested property developers budget. The writing is on the wall. How did Church do?

Nearly twelve thousand at the Brentihad, their reward a signing from the Scunthorpe dustbin!!
Where's the money going Akkeron Man?
