Small Number of Bristol City Tickets to go on General Sale

When tickets for next Tuesday’s away fixture at Bristol City go on general sale at 10am on Friday, 15 September, there will be just over 100 tickets available.

We anticipate these will sell very quickly, and we recognise that supporters purchase in different ways. Therefore, as well as tickets being available via ArgyleTickets.com, we will reserve some for in-person sales at the Ticket Office, and some for sale on the phone on 01752 907700.

When these sell out, that will be our full allocation reached, and we will not be receiving any further batches of tickets.

Got mine and can't wait as it's my first league game of the season.

Going up and back by National Express -
depart Plymouth at 9:10am and arrive in Bristol at 1pm. Coach back departs Bristol at 12:30am and arrives in Plymouth at 3:30am. Going to be a long, long old day and night/morning.

Bristol Fan View

Under the lights for our latest derby match.

Their club crest features the Mayflower the ship that carried the pilgrims to Massachusetts. The club has predominantly played in green and white throughout their history, with a few exceptions in the late 1960s and early 1970s when white was the colour of choice. A darker shade of green, described (by some) as Argyle green, was adopted in the 2001–02 season, and has been used ever since. They are the most southerly and westerly League club in England and the only professional club named Argyle.

Argyle fans are often referred to as "Janners", the unofficial nickname used to describe residents of Plymouth. Those traveling from Home Park will have a 240 mile round trip.

In July they added Manchester City academy coach Peter Cavanagh as a first-team coach. The 41-year-old, who has coached at the academies of both Everton and Liverpool, played more than 300 games across the EFL and National League.

At the start of the season their manager Steven Schumacher had this to say: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

At the end of June Aston Villa's England Under-20 wing-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden joined them on a season-long loan.

They also added defender Lewis Gibson following his departure from Everton. The 22-year-old began his career in Newcastle's academy before joining the Toffees aged 17, although he did not make a first-team appearance for them. The centre-back has had spells on loan at Fleetwood, Reading and Sheffield Wednesday, and spent last season on loan at Bristol Rovers.

They signed Northern Ireland goalkeeper Conor Hazard from Celtic for an undisclosed fee.

They equalled the club's record transfer fee to sign Norwich City wing-back Bali Mumba. He agreed a four-year deal, with the Pilgrims reportedly set to pay more than £1m.

Aston Villa midfielder Finn Azaz re-joined on loan. The 22-year-old, who spent all of last season at Home Park as the Pilgrims won the League One title, agreed another season-long deal.

In early August they signed midfielder Luke Cundle on a season-long loan from Wolves. The 21-year-old made seven appearances for the Premier League side, including two top-flight starts in the 2021-22 campaign.

On deadline day they added Sierra Leone striker Mustapha Bundu from Belgian side Anderlecht. The 26-year-old, who has won 14 caps for his country, signed a two-year deal with the Pilgrims.

The Pilgrims have lost four of their last five games, in all competitions, including a 2-1 defeat to Preston last weekend. Plymouth Argyle manager Steven Schumacher said this afterwards "I felt our performance probably didn't deserve to lose the game, but we have come away from home again, played really well, caused the top-of-the-table team loads of problems and found ourselves coming away with nothing. I'm really disappointed, but I'm also proud and pleased at the players' performance because we were brave today. Even after going 1-0 down we were brave to keep playing and we were more than a game for them today."

The stats suggest that Argyle had plenty of the game, with 67% possession, 17 shots (7 on target) and 14 corners.

They currently occupy 13th place with seven points.

Head-to-head record

Won: 26

Lost: 23

Drawn: 13

We recorded a 3-1 win in our last league game against them in October 2009 at Ashton Gate.

Yannick Bolasie played for both clubs, as well as Barnet, Crystal Palace, Everton and Aston Villa. In 2018 Zak Vyner had a loan spell with them where he featured 17 times.

Others who have represented both clubs include Kieran Agard, Paul Anderson, Ian Baird, Tyreeq Bakinson, Andre Blackman, Joe Bryan, Arnold Garita, Rene Gilmartin, Joe Lennox, Guy Madjo, Sean McCarthy, Alan Miller, Kevin Nugent, Karleigh Osborne, Scott Partridge, Bobby Reid, Gary Sawyer, Steven Sessegnon, Enoch Showunmi, Phil Starbuck, Ryan Taylor, Trevor Jacobs, Keith Fear, Forbes Phillipson-Masters and Robbie Turner.

Officials

Referee: Matthew Donohue. So far this season he has issued 29 yellow cards in five games. Assistants: Andrew Fox and Greg Read Fourth Official: Andy Davies.

The game is on the red button and on Argyle TV

First away win tomorrow

I have a better feeling about tomorrow than i do have about saturday with Norwich at home.

Traveling fans from Plymouth Argyle is around 3,400

City as sold around 21,000

We'll play well again and lose 2-1 again. Mumba with our consolation.

Think we'll get something from this one

Turnips 2 Greens 2

Hardie,Houghton

Hope Argyle record a first away win, it will make the incredibly long day/night/morning worth it (18+ hours = 6hrs 20 mins travel and 11 hrs in Bristol. Got to do what ya got to do following Argyle )

City have not won a home game yet, Argyle have not won away yet. For a neutral a draw would look the likely outcome.

Going for an Argyle win, 2-1.

that’s handy a tenner saved sky sports red button well least the commentary more kinda neutral Argyle TV Commentry to partisan/bias & to cringeworthy for my liking..it’s like there watching a different game altogether lol

Does Schuey know it’s not a papa Johns game but a proper league game ! Seems his named a reserve side

That must be the strongest "bench" Argyle have ever named-several £million worth of talent

are we in a position where we can afford to rest players ahead of norwich even though the players already had 2 weeks off previously!!!

strange line up but lets see how it goes

Looks good to me.

Perhaps a few of the bigger names thought they were guaranteed a starting place?

2-0 down after 9 mins


great decision resting so many for a game like this ......

Fecking hell

Absolute shit Argo.  Sick of this now.

Shambolic at the back. Hardies the top scorer in the Championship ffs.

Bizarre from Shuey.

Schumacher does not know this division

if we see a cricket score tonight i hope we see two things in response 1) schuey never again treats a game against a west country rival like a paint trophy game and rest so many key players and 2) he quits this formation away from home as it does not work.
