Fans' Guide | Bristol Rovers (H)
Part two of Home Park's biggest week, potentially ever, sees Bristol Rovers visit the Theatre of Greens.
The first instalment of the week's triple header saw Argyle pass their Cambridge exam with flying colours, winning 3-1.
That put the Greens within five points of their promotion target tally, and a win against the Gas would put that goal within touching distance.
If you are heading to Home Park for what promising to be a dramatic evening, check out our Fans' Guide below.
Fans' Guide | Bristol Rovers
Tuesday night's Sky Bet League One fixture at home to Bristol Rovers will be Argyle's dedicated Her Game Too fixture.
The evening will see a variety of activities taking place which will showcase and celebrate the opportunities for young girls and women at the Club.
Members of the women’s team will be present; Stephen Schumacher’s side will wear Her Game Too warm-up t-shirts, the match ball will be walked on by an Argyle Women’s player and Argyle’s female staff have been invited to take part in a half-time lap of honour.
On the big screen at half-time fans will also see a special club focused Her Game Too video featuring players and members of staff, which will also be available to view on Argyle TV.
Finally, there will be Her Game Too features in the match day programme and across the Club’s social media and a special donation point will be set up to collect items for women’s groups – Trevi, Harbour and Gifted Women.
If you would like to donate some items to help support the many women using these services, you can do so by locating the bright pink Project 35 marquee and Argyle Community Trust van outside the Devonport End from 6.30pm.

Her Game Too can be found on Twitter and Instagram using the @HerGameToo handle, as well as on Facebook as ‘Her Game Too’.
Tickets are sold out for this fixture.
Keep an eye on argyletickets.com, however, to snap up any tickets placed back on re-sale by season ticket holders who are unable to attend.
Turnstiles will open two hours before kick-off, from 5:45pm. Supporters are 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.
Supporters seated in blocks 5, 6 or 7 (the Babcock Devonport End and Portcullis Legals Lyndhurst Road Stand corner) are now permitted to enter turnstiles at either stand.
As always, we encourage supporters to make use of digital tickets wherever possible, reducing queuing times at the Ticket Office, as well as the impact of ticket production. Click here to read more about digital tickets.
Should supporters arrive late for the fixture, there will be one late turnstile open in the Babcock Devonport End stand, and it will remain open until half-time.
Our outstanding Argyle Community Trust team will be providing a whole host of free family friendly sports and games just outside the stadium, beginning at 5pm.
Activities include inflatable football, dodgeball, tennis and archery, and the event can be accessed outside of the Babcock Devonport End, very close to the entrance to the seated family area in block 6, and adjacent to the main car park.
Families interested in participating in these free activities can simply turn up from 5pm and get involved. However, for specific queries or further information, you are welcome to email community@pafc.co.uk.

From 6pm, the popular Mayflower Grandstand Fan Zone is once again open for this fixture, offering supporters access to delicious food and drink.
Located within the gated area behind the Lower Mayflower, the Fan Zone aims to provide the best-ever match-day experience for the Green Army seated on that side of the stadium.
The new catering vendors located within the Mayflower Fan Zone will serve a range of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks, as well as offering fresh and delicious food – including hot dogs, fries, pasties, pulled pork baps and baguettes.
We thank supporters for their compliance with additional soft ticketing checks and safety measures in the Babcock Devonport End for recent fixtures.
The reports from the club's safety and crowd care team have been encouraging, and we are grateful to supporters. The system will remain in place for this fixture, and we thank supporters in advance for their co-operation.
To learn more about the reasons behind our approach, please read our initial statement on the matter.
The CEOs of the EFL, Premier League, FA, FSA and Women's Super League have issued a joint statement, urging supporters to enjoy the conclusion to the football season, but to do so with safety in mind.
Entering the field of play is a criminal offence, and we urge all supporters to heed the advice to stay in the stands throughout.
You can read the statement in full, here.
The Evergreen Suite, adjacent to the Home Park Ticket Office, is open up until kick-off.
Not signed up as an Evergreen member yet? 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.

The Superstore will be open until 30 minutes after full-time, selling a range of Argyle memorabilia, replica kits, and souvenirs.

Concession kiosks will be open, serving a range of food and beverages.
There will be a discount of 25% on all products purchased from food and beverage kiosks inside the stadium between 5.45pm-6.30pm.
Meanwhile, toilet facilities will continue to operate with a one-way system. In order to avoid large queues at peak times (e.g half-time), we advise supporters to plan ahead for toilet breaks, using facilities when they are likely to be less busy.
We encourage fans to pay using contactless methods wherever possible to reduce queuing times. Supporters are advised that the concessions in the Upper Mayflower Grandstand operate on a cashless basis.

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.
If supporters see anything unusual during their visit to Home Park, we encourage you to make use of our anonymous reporting service.
Text ARGYLE to 66777 followed by your message and a member of the team will investigate.
The Argyle Superstore, located next to the Home Park Ticket Office by the main entrance to the Mayflower Grandstand, is open until 30 minutes after full-time.
In addition to the Superstore, there is a large pop-up retail outlet located on the corner of the Babcock Devonport End, stocking all supporter favourites - this is open until kick-off.
An additional retail kiosk is available inside the stadium, in the concourse of the Portcullis Legals Lyndhurst Road Stand.
Outland Road Car Park
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.
Harpers Football Centre
With the club acquisition of Harpers Football Centre now complete, we are delighted to be able to offer additional private parking for supporters on a first-come, first-served basis.
The car park of Harpers (PL2 3DE) - next door to Home Park - will be open for vehicles at a cost of £5 per car.
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.
A reminder that supporters can tune in to our free pre-match show live!
Whether you are in the stands at Home Park, on the way to the game, or watching from home, simply go to our YouTube channel from 6:45pm to enjoy live build-up featuring host David Wooldridge and Argyle legend Ian Stonebridge.
The fixture is available to stream worldwide for £10, while audio match passes are available for £2.50, or come as standard with domestic Argyle TV subscriptions. Click here to purchase your pass. Commentary will be from Argyle TV's Charlie Price who will be joined by Marc Edworthy.
As always, we encourage supporters to provide feedback on their experience at Argyle to feedback@pafc.co.uk.
We can’t wait to see you on Tuesday evening, and hope you have a fantastic match-day experience at Home Park.
