Evergreen March Update – Part Two
It has been a busy month on Planet Evergreen, and we have loads for members to enjoy over the summer, as well as some key dates for the diary.
Be The Difference
The whole point of Evergreen is to bring added revenue to support football operations at Home Park, and our members are definitely making the difference.
On a first-team level, Evergreen funded flights to Norwich City for the Good Friday clash in East Anglia, which gave the players and staff every opportunity to prepare for another important fixture in the Sky Bet Championship.
However, when it comes to the Argyle Academy, Evergreen members have taken their support to a new level, providing the financial platform for all age groups to embark on tours and tournaments, showcasing their skills against the leading clubs from across the country and Europe.
Season Ticket Discount
We are not that far away from the end of the current season and that means season tickets for the 2024/25 campaign. It is, therefore, an appropriate time to remind people that Evergreen members receive a significant discount on their season tickets. For example, a premium member made a saving of £69.75 this season.
For season ticket holders who are not currently members of Evergreen, now is the perfect time to sign up and take full advantage of our discounts and benefits.
To be eligible for the full range of season ticket discounts, new members to Evergreen must sign up before 1 May 2024, and you must remain an Evergreen member until 1 January 2025.
Please remember that you must sign-up for Evergreen before claiming any season ticket discount.
Ticket Benefits
When talking to current Evergreen members and those considering Evergreen as an option, it is very often the case that people see the ticket priority windows as a leading benefit. At a time when Home Park is a regular sell-out and our away support is off the charts, Evergreen members are given the best opportunity to secure match tickets through the priority windows, and we are greatly heartened that this particular benefit has been such a huge success.
Replica Shirts
As we head toward the summer and the release of shirts for next season, Evergreen will have a dedicated distribution hut for members to collect their shirts.
Please note that new members to Evergreen must sign up before 1 May 2024 to receive the replica shirt for the 2024/25 season. All sign-ups after this date will not be eligible to receive next season’s shirt.
Evergreen Grand Prize 2024
Following on from the fabulous Evergreen USA experience for our 2023 winners, we are now delighted to introduce a prize that will excite any devoted football fan.
Two lucky Evergreen members and their guests will win the opportunity to attend a European football weekend, with flights, accommodation, and match tickets for a trip to watch one of the leading clubs in the global game.
We will team up with a company that specialises in European Football Weekends and depending on availability and schedules for our winners, it could be a trip to watch Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain, Inter Milan, or another football giant.
Wherever we send our winners, the experience will be extraordinary, and there will be time for sightseeing as well.
To be eligible for the Evergreen Grand Prize 2024, new members must sign up before 1 October 2024. As with all prize draws, Premium and International Premium members will be entered twice, with Standard, International Digital and Junior Members entered once.

Souvenir Packs
We are now moving forward with the 2024 Souvenir Packs and hope you agree the contents are pretty cool, or warm for that matter. We will confirm the contents of the new souvenir packs and when then these are ready for collection in the coming weeks. Please note that new members must sign up before 1 December 2024 to receive the 2024 Souvenir Pack.
U12 – U14
In line with the ticketing policy at Home Park, we have made a slight tweak to our age categorisations at Evergreen, changing the U12 package to an U14. It basically means our members aged 12 and 13 will now make an extra saving of £3 per month, as they will be classed as an U14 member rather than U18. This process will happen automatically and will also apply to all new junior members.
Evergreen Mascots
It was our great pleasure to welcome seven junior Evergreen members to join us as mascots for the recent visit of Ipswich Town to Home Park.
The lucky seven were randomly selected in our latest Evergreen Prize Draw and we have been thrilled to hear some of the feedback from these young members and their parents.
It is clear they all had a wonderful time and a prize draw we will add to the list again for next season.
Congratulations to James Blagdon, George Johns, Nina Craig, Kyla Orchard, Lowen Sawyer-Leack, Francis Knight and Noah Hart.
Open Training Session
We are acutely aware that one Evergreen benefit that has still not been delivered is the exclusive open training session, and we sincerely apologise for this omission. As mentioned previously, the weather has been the major culprit, and we also have a stacked summer of amazing events scheduled at Home Park.
However, the plan is to deliver an open training session for all Argyle fans and a further training session exclusive to Evergreen members in August. Exact dates will be confirmed once the 2024/25 fixtures have been released.
