Away to Chelsea - Sat 5 Feb 12.30pm

[Pogleswoody]

A 70 mile round trip!?! Cur - iced (Jethro style). No wonder they are so tired. Good job they’ve got a big squad to have a rest every other week.
If Gatwick ever get a Premiership team together maybe they could fly there.
COYGs.

Train doesn't stop at Poynings on a Saturday.

So with non season ticket holders not getting a chance to join the shed end how many greens do we think will be in the "home" ends?

Hundreds from what I can gather.

Somewhere between 500-1000 I would imagine.

 

[twist of lime]

Yes agree with above

Despite some good Argyle fans looking out for possible tickets for me and my son, became clear early on yesterday that never going to reach general sale so we’re in the home end (west stand upper)

Keeping my 17 year old passionate Argyle supporting son under control when Hardie scores his second will be interesting….😄😂

FYI as I’m St Albans based, a lot of local non season ticket holder Chelsea fans excepted to pick up tickets in general sale interesting to hear them when Chelsea had sold out before going to general sale

Thats the pull of playing the mighty Argyle 😂

Sounds like one of Jethro's jokes about Camborne lol

Well I suspect they did a bit, hence that horror show.

It's been my fear since the draw happened, we've all seen it with other clubs.

My take was that Wednesday simply did a job on us on the day. They were due a performance and result against us.

I have to say the Chelsea game is like a bonus.

Its a chance to go to a ground lm not been at. A chance to see top level players in live action. It’s ok seeing them on the pitch but to me it’s different seeing them in person. When l saw Guillt at HP in a pre season friendly for Chelsea the stature of the man was something to behold.

Its a day out. A break from lower league football.

However, games against Lincoln, Shrewsbury & Rotherham at HP lm more excited about because we are in a mix of teams for a playoff push and excited to see if we can sustain it. Against Chelsea we will hardly see the ball lm guessing. And mostly be trying to keep them out. So it’s a totally different game.

l think the Chelsea game highlights an issue with regards to us in the sense of how do you get the casual fans excited in Argyle playing lower league opposition.

Pretty much how I see it.

Wouldn't have bothered with this one if I couldn't also have got my daughter a ticket but it will be good to see some top class players in the flesh. Felt the same way you did about Gullit when I saw Eden Hazard play - he seemed to glide along above the pitch with the ball at his feet.

The league will always be the priority and although the casual fan is harder to attract, it does feel like the base is finally growing.

I discovered in conversation with my daughter's boyfriend (from a Palace supporting family), that the game isn't being transmitted live on the 5th. I then presumed the regulations would be different regarding FA Cup games......but thankfully
I've since checked the Argyle site and it will be available on Argyleplayer.

I get the impression the West Stand usually contains lots of neutrals anyway. The very large clubs always get loads of neutrals in attendance, particularly given Chelsea's location.

Matthew Harding stand for me, 4 of us with the rank and file 😬

I know of three. We are in the lower West stand. I've got two youngsters with me. Hopefully they will behave themselves. I'm guessing there's going to be loads in with the home fans.

Am doing some hospitality (Museum package) and in the West Stand, Upper Tier 👍 Gonna make a weekend of it and staying in the Copthorne Millennium, Chelsea FC. Can't wait!!
