9 for me. Would have been a 10 had people planned their trip better and got to the ground in plenty of time, as the club advised.

People no doubt going to moan about the queues and being late for kick off - well you now know what to do next time.

Too many people in my queue still not aware of the need for a Covid pass etc. Why? There is a missing link somewhere if that’s the case and I heard one guy with 3 kids in tow state that he does not do social media, the Argyle app etc. I hope he found some way to get in 😬

8 out of 10. Masks were supposed to be worn until seated. This was not carried out hardly at all. Even when in .tightly packed loos.
Otherwise a good competing game.

9 of 10. Lots of new people around me, including a family who tried to sit both of their sons on the seat next to me (seat normally taken by a ST holder).

9/10 Got in early, pint and pasty in an uncrowded concourse. Volume of music much less intrusive than some matches this season. PA announcements more audible today as well. Get some proper pasties in rather than Ginster's and I'll give you 10

No need to search everyone but same old record so I will move on.

 

[Welwyn Pilgrim]

Really enjoyable day, no great hassle getting in, happy to be searched as they have a job to do. Slightly tainted by the miserable old fart I had the displeasure of sitting next to who constantly slated Randell insisting he was crap and not a league player. Very amusing to see him put in his place by others sat around him.

 

[RGuile]

8 out of 10 for me. Pasty very small and poor value. Music very obscure, at least to me.

 

[IJN]

I was told today that 6000 people turned up after 1430!!

Asking for problems I'd say.

It seems some fans think that the clubs advice does not apply to them. I was the only person sat in my row at kick off which surprised me as could see on the ticket website that it was sold out. Between 15:05 and 15:15 it gradually filled up, only to empty again from 15:35 onwards as they decided they needed more beer or to empty their bladders.

 

[Chip green]

Great for me -good noise and banter from the away fans rather than the scumbags that Wigan brought down . Also searches don’t apply in hospitality (how’s that for double standards) And was it just me or have we lost the nauseating virtue signalling announcements or just could not hear them in the mayflower?

The main problem was the queues at the ticket office. Why can't they put signs on the windows informing you which queue to get in? Or have staff informing you. Nikki Errington decided to get out of her office around 2,30 and started scuttling around but a bit late by then as there were still huge queues. I started queueing at 2.10 and didint get to window till 2.50.. There was still huge queues everywhere at ticket office and ground. I presumed they were going to delay kickoff. Don't even start me on the ticket staff.

Was so glad to be back! Agree with the pasty comment but my pre match 'for luck' tribute went down a treat! Thought the Devonport crowd were unusually tame, particularly towrds the ref and his shocking inconsistent decisions! All in all a good afternoon!

7/10. I was one of the 6000 who got to the ground after 2:30. Usually I am there by about 2:15, but the traffic coming from the South Hams / Sherford / Plymstock direction was unbelievable, trying to get over Laira Bridge. The queue started at the Drakes Drum from the Hooe direction.
Did not help that the "wand man" at the far end turnstile at the Lyndhurst was insisting middle aged women and kids turn out their pockets as well as everyone else. Is their no discretion allowed. After all were not about to board a plane. It took ages.
