Old Argo Pics.

As a member of a few FB groups which share old pics of Muff - occasionally, some about Argo appear. I'll put them here when I can. Enjoy..

Argyle V Newcastle. FA cup 1958.

Now that's a crowd that is. I remember my old man telling me there was regularly crowds of forty thousand at HP back in those days.

According to wikipedia the rugby county championship final was also held at Home Park in 1961. A game that finished with a score, that while common in proper football, I've never come across in rugby of nil each.

A nil all in football suggests a borefest, but just imagine how tedious it would be in a game of rugby.

Original construction of the Mayflower in the 1950's

Some lovely old photo's there bhey.

Of course we need corners, ffs.

They are all smartly dressed in the second image, shirt and tie. Plenty of flat caps there.

This was posted on an old Plymouth pics Facebook site-

Home Park, work under way on the south side 1951.

10th August 1926 Plymouth Argyle FC trainer Tommey Haynes as a points duty policeman directing the way to promotion. Left to right Leslie, Pullen, Jack, Cock, Forbes, Black, Craig, Preston, Smith, Livingstone, McKenzie and Atterbury (in long trousers, assistant trainer).

Brilliant, dog between legs too lol.

Watford striker George Reilly celebrates his winning goal at the end of their FA Cup Semi-Final match against Plymouth Argyle at Villa Park, Birmingham on 14th April 1984. Watford won 1-0.

Basteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd.

Pre blitz footage. Although not Argo related - fascinating stuff none-the-less.

Great stuff POI.....
I will try and dig my photos out of Mutley Holt Train station which most cant comprehend where it was

1st January 1923 The FA Cup first round, Plymouth Argyle v Notts County at Plymouth. Plymouth Argyle's lucky balloon being released by supporters before the match.

Did anyone else notice on the final episode of Peaky blinders when they were in the betting shop they had the second division football results on the chalk board (mid 1930's) I didn't see the home team but Plymouth City lost 2 1. Does anyone know of we were always referred to as Plymouth City back then? I know the Argyle is meant to go back to our roots with the Argyle and Sutherland regiment who were stationed down here at the time.

Is that the mankover six weeks ago?

Mwahahahahaha

I've been told this was the original, as we know it know, construction under way in the 1950's.

No test events in them days. If it's half built, get the feckers in!

1940's Home Park. That bloke better watch himself. He'll be turfed out for standing!

Demport End. 1960's

Many hours debating this one. No idea on date or who the opposition is. It's that old, I'd hazard a guess at Argo V King Arthur's all stars! The trees in the background looks like that side is the Lyndhurst.
