First Argyle Game

[RB00194]

What was your first Argyle Game?

Mine was the Game after the Tsunami in Japan against Chesterfield. We won 7-0 and Paul Stapleton came onto the pitch before the game to announce Argyle would match the gate receipts for the game to donate to the Disaster appeal.

Stood in the Mayflower freezing and had a sore throat at half time. I think we were 4/5 nil up.

Oh blimey now your asking, my dad took me we lost to Leicester 6-0, then beat Sutherland next game 4-0, about 1983.

Wow! 40 years later we are beating Leicester 1-0!

It was a cold, wet 0-0 draw sometime in Autumn 1995. I remember nothing about the game, only seeing the pitch under floodlights for the first time.

Magical.

Shrewsbury at home, 1977, 2-2 I think.

 

[Wexford Green]

The first time I watched Argyle live was the 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Elland Road after which I became a fan. I didnt see them again until a 4-0 defeat at Boothferry Park, Hull in circa 1975.

I’m amazed so many people remember what their first game was. I was only about 7 and I really have no idea.

 

[Tom Cobbley]

Cant remember games but Billy Bingham was the manager.

2007 home to Wolves. Drew 1-1. Nick Chadwick scored. Starting 11 was THE trademark Holloway starting 11 of that era.

First game i remember is West Ham in pre season July 2000, then went to a few home games that season before getting a season ticket for 01/02 season.

15 Oct 1988 - Argyle 0-1 Manchester City. Sitting in the west wing of the grandstand with my dad. I remember that there was a loudmouth Mancunian sitting a few rows behind us, bragging about hammering us in the league cup a few days earlier.

My second game was a couple of months later. We were destroyed by Sunderland at home. The memory I have of this game is of Sunderland fans doing the conga around the barn park end.

Very close to mine - August 1988, Argyle 2-0 Hull. Tommy Tynan and an own goal.

Second game and first away West Brom 2-2 Argyle, April 1989. Same day as Hillsborough.
