Funniest moment at Argyle

[Mark Pedlar]

Away at Cardiff 10-15 years ago. Tuesday evening game. Cardiff playing badly and Argyle winning 2 or 3-0, Argyle fans in full voice. Cardiff fans switch their attention to threats "Outside there's a massacre, Outside there's a massacre" Argyle fans retort "Inside there's a massacre, Inside there's a massacre".

At Carlisle - home fans protesting about Chairman Michael Knighton by staying outside and marching round and round the stadium. We, inside, join in their protests as they go past. The few home supporters who've decided not to join the protest and are inside start up a "home supporting" chant. Argyle fans - "you're supposed to be outside". Later with the gates open for exit a few of the outside protestors sneak in for the final few minutes "we can see you sneaking in".

Not at HP but Dwight Marshall being caught in the nuts by a celebrating fan after he scored at Chester has always made me giggle

Remember that one too! Dwight's face was a picture!

Not quite so funny telling it, but when HP was being redeveloped they used Barr's builders as ballboys.

One shot fizzed over the bar and one of these builders jumped about four foot off the ground and caught it, holding on to it for dear life with his finger tips with a save Schmeichel would have been proud of - just so he didn't have to climb up the half concreted Barn Park foundations to get it.

Cue 6,000 in the Mayflower (Lyndhurst etc. being redeveloped that season) "SIGN HIM ON, SIGN HIM ON, SIGN HIM ON!"

One I remember is back in 1987. David Pleat had just taken over Leicester City after Spurs dumped him after he received three cautions from the police for having one of the slowest cars in North London's red light zone!

As he emerged from the tunnel he was greeted with the chants of 'Union Street is down the road' and 'does your missus know you're here!' Priceless!

To top it all I think we won 4 - 0 and I think Dougie Anderson scored!

1960s / 70s home against ????? and from KO the ref was diabolical. Missed almost every foul against us and he was getting some real abuse. 2nd half and on it went. After 1 particularly obvious incident that was missed an old chap (must have been 60-70 climbed over the fence from Lyndy, walked on the pitch, offering the ref his glasses.
Cue amazing laughter. Police walked on and to great cheers and smiles lifted him back over the fence.

That Ricky Otto "banter" was some fairly nasty racist abuse. I was with him for trying to club that moronic Argyle fan with a seat.
