Many, myself included, have left the area many years ago in order to find work but we never leave our Green roots behind. Wherever Argyle are playing, there is always a good level of support living within an hour or so - and they continue to turn out. The last time Argyle played at Feethams, the Darlo guy on the gate was asking where each supporter had travelled from. By the time I got in about 2.30 he had still only met 1 from plymouth.

I guess you could gauge it by how many coach loads the official travel club take. How often is it more than four? (ie 200 fans). Not that it really matters. The away support is fantastic for this division wherever they may travel from.

You can generally gauge how the job market is by checking the size of the PASALB membership.......even in the 1970's it was noticable how young people drifted to the London/SE England area looking for work.
Many went back home eventually.....others settled down married and started bringing up a family and there roots were then changed for ever.
