The Watford ones have arrived but no sign of the Bristol City ones. Looks like we have to wait until the day of the match to find out where we will be sitting.

Tickets, Tickets Have You Seen Them?

I must have spoken too soon about my tickets, they haven't arrived!

Telephoned the booking line today and they told me they have been posted so where are they?

The lady, who must be new because she had no clue what would happen if they didn't arrive, went off to ask someone. She came back on the line to tell me to phone the day before the match if they still hadn't arrived then they would issue me with duplicates. I told her that would be no good to me as I lived in Bristol and didn't want to chance not receiving them. She went off to ask advice again. She then said it would be Bristol City that would issue the tickets and I would be able to collect them from Ashton Gate on the day of the match. All well and good as long as the ticket office isn't in the home end!

I'll have to keep a look out for both sets of tickets. I have this strange feeling that if they don't arrive someone else could be sat in our seats.

I also took the opportunity to buy 2 tickets for the Watford game which is a home game for us. It's on the 22nd March, the Saturday in-between the two Easter bank holidays.

I saw Watford at Home Park last season in a cup match but we lost that 1-0 and Watford played a very boring game. I hope this one will be more exciting

I've Got Mine!

Were you thinking of going to the Bristol City match?
Do you already have your ticket?
No?

Never mind I'll tell you all about it.

Yes, tickets for away fans, that's us, are already sold out nearly 3 weeks before the game.

It's going to be a good game me thinks!

Reason's to be Cheerful - Not Today

I've just noticed the below on the BBC website HERE

Argyle make record financial loss

Plymouth Argyle made a record financial loss of £714,522 in the year to May 2007, almost double last year's losses.

Chairman Paul Stapleton says the high wages demanded by players in the Championship has increased expenditure.

"While turnover has increased by almost £1m there has been a significant increase in the wages paid for players," he said.

Falling gates have also contributed, with Argyle's average attendance 13,012, 3,500 less than four years ago.

The accounts show that Argyle made a loss of £311,720 for the year to May 2007, with transfer fees adding another £402,802 on top of that.

"It is essential that we do our best to encourage supporters to come to our games and also look to increase our non-match day revenue," Stapleton added.

But the club did purchase the freehold to Home Park during the accounting period and Stapleton is hopeful it will enable the club to increase future profits as the club are now in control of the stadium.

"This major transaction for the football club has now enabled us to push forward with our plans for the redevelopment of the South Stand," he said.

Come on people get down there and watch us head for the top!

Table as it stands at half time:

Fingers crossed we'll still be in a play-off position at the end of the day.

On the up

Plymouth Argyle have had a good run over the last few games with amongst them a 1-0 win over Leicester and 2-0 over Southampton.

We are now 7th in the Championship with Burnley and Hull, who both have a game in hand, able to over take us before our next match and that will be only if they both win.

We have the 2nd best defence in the Championship, only letting in 32 goals this season and the best defended team has only one less than us.

We are only 10 points off top place and only 2 points off the play-offs.
