Can only comment on what I've seen. The Argyle stewards would rather pick on some 15 year old lads having a good time or standing up rather than sorting out actual issues when they occur.
Wasn't at the game today due to personal circumstances.
From speaking to peers, it sounded like wigan fans ran on the pitch, did all the goading to our fans and the usual you expect with a last minute winner. I love this passion and hope the game never looses this despite many people's best effort to sterile the game.
What followed was a few scuffles at the end of the game. Again, who cares. No innocent onlookers were hurt.
If any onlookers were hurt, I would completely condemn the actions of those involved.

Looks like the 80’s have an idiot missing.
Who cares?
Well. The football authorities do. And consequently Argyle do when they get fined.
Still a game without people climbing over netting and giving it the big 'un (from a still safe distance) is just sooooo sterile
I'd always thought Zoo Corner took its name from a long gone and once cherished adjacent zoological facility. Perhaps not.
On a day when the crowd paid their respects to a local girl with a minutes silence, and we hear again about having to brace ourselves for more pandemic restrictions, all some people can think about is fighting at a football game. There is no justification for this. Find them, ban them. Shut the door on them and screw zoo corner. Absolutely no justification
I was at the game. Your peers have not given you an accurate timeline - Argyle fans crossed into the ‘neutral zone’ way before Wigan scored the second.
I was very sympathetic to those who made the case for the zoo corner to be reopened. I suspect if this is repeated it won’t remain open for long. I assume you would not want that?
I'm sure Argyle will rightly respond with restrictions and people like ZC will be on here moaning about the atmosphere being sanitised.
Such a bunch of victims of those goading northerners. Couldn't possibly be the better (wo)man and just get over it.

That’s actually nonsense. Scroll to 12m30s where Wigan scored. There are no argyle fans in the “neutral zone” - a few turnstile operators were sat there that’s it when Wigan score, and Wigan then proceed to move the net - move into the neutral zone, run on the pitch and let off flares. At least be factual if bashing Argyles involvement in this https://youtu.be/7GQg7hfnntU
