Fans' Guide | Cheltenham Town (H)

Tickets for Argyle’s Carabao Cup first round tie at home to Cheltenham Town are on general sale.

Tickets for tonight's fixture can be purchased by visiting argyletickets.com. 

Supporters are reminded about the importance of adhering to ground regulations.

These include pitch incursions, the use of pyrotechnics and missile throwing, as well as any form of discriminatory behaviour towards players on the pitch, staff or your fellow supporters. 

Fans from both clubs are also reminded that persistent standing throughout Home Park is not accepted and supporters will be told to take their seats throughout the game. 

Argyle fans should be aware that gates open 90 minutes before kick off.

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.

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.

Further information on new parking options is available below. 

A new half-time challenge will be trialed, with a Home v Away challenge taking place.

Full details will be revealed tonight!

Copies of our award-winning match day programme, The Pilgrim, are once again available around the stadium for purchase, while a limited number will also be available to purchase from the Argyle Superstore.

The programme will cost £3.50 on league match days, but £2 for tonight's Carabao Cup tie.

This year will see a completely rejuvenated programme with a number of new features and collectors items forming part of it.

Tonight's edition will be a season preview, but Saturday will see the launch of the first full edition of our new programme.

For any accessibility or match day support queries, our dedicated Disability Liaison Officer can be contacted on disability@pafc.co.uk.

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.

The Argyle Superstore, located next to the Home Park Ticket Office by the main entrance to the Beacon Electrical Mayflower Grandstand, is open until 30 minutes after full-time.

The Evergreen Suite, adjacent to the Home Park Ticket Office, is open ahead of the game.

Not one of the more than 6,000 Evergreen members? 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.

If supporters see anything unusual during their visit to Home Park, report it.

Text ARGYLE to 66777 followed by your message and a member of the team will investigate.

'It' is racism, homophobia, sexism and misogny, sexual harassment, ableism, ageism and religious beliefs. 

Sensory packs, which include a drawstring bag, ear defenders, fidget spinners, and a sensory ball, as well as further match-day information, are now available for children and young adults who need them – free of charge.

Complimentary sanitary products are available in all female and accessible toilets across Home Park Stadium.

Argyle are intent on providing a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors who attend matches.

We are delighted to confirm that, in conjunction with Plymouth Citybus, our dedicated match day football special bus services will run again in the 2024/25 season for all home league matches. 

The services will operate across four routes (Coypool Park and Ride, The George Park and Ride, Plympton and Plymstock), with the Coypool and George services once again running two trips to Home Park pre-match, while the Plympton and Plymstock services will run once.  

Following successful trials in 2023/24, the continuation of these services showcases a demonstrable commitment to the club’s environmental objectives and ambitions to reduce the overall collective carbon footprint of supporters travelling to Home Park on match days, while also serving to reduce traffic congestion and demand for parking at the ground and in nearby residential streets. 

The services will run across all home league matches. Arrangements for cup games will be confirmed on a match-by-match basis. 

For the visit of Cheltenham Town on Wednesday 14 August, the buses will run. 

Supporters should be aware that there are some changes to the timings for 24/25, following feedback received across last season. We encourage supporters to continue feeding back regarding their experiences on these buses, and further adjustments can be made if necessary.  

Timetables for the 2024/25 season are available  here.  

For 8pm kick offs, please use the timetable for a 7.45pm kick off and add 15 minutes to each time. 

Tickets are available to purchase in advance through Citybus directly, through their app. Tickets can also be purchased on the bus on the day, but purchasing in advance is highly recommended as we cannot guarantee there will be availability remaining on the buses on the day. 

Single fares are also available (subject to availability) and can be purchased on the buses on the day only. Single fares cannot be purchased in advance or through the CItybus app. Please note that priority will be given to those who have purchased a return ticket and should the bus have reached capacity through advance sales of return tickets, no single tickets will be available. 

As this is a dedicated football service, supporters should note that bus passes and other concessions will not apply, and a ticket will need to be purchased to travel.  

For further queries, please see the Citybus website here. 

The Fan Zone, located on the Mayflower Quarter, between Home Park and the Life Centre, will be open for the visit of Cheltenham Town. It will open three hours before kick-off. 

In partnership with C&G Catering, we are providing a differing food and drink option, while live sport will also be available on a big screen. Covered areas will also be available to avoid any potential inclement weather. 

True Collision, a local band, will be performing in the Fan Zone between 6 and 7:30pm. 

An Argyle Community Trust Pizza Van will also be in operation.

There are extra parking enforcements in place for tomorrow's game. Fans are encouraged to avoid parking on the following roads:

- Browning Road
- Ponsonby Road
- St Levan Road
- Fullerton Road
- Beaumont Road

There will be extra scrutiny on parking throughout the city with the British Fireworks Championships taking place as well.

Argyle fans should be aware that the British Fireworks Championships will also take place on Wednesday night.

This will result in added pressure on parking around the city, as well as the various city transport routes.

The Green Army are reminded that parking inspectors will be in operation and to adhere to all parking legalities around the city.
