Taking my nephew to Wembley tomorrow - he’s a PAFC ST holder…..going to be nice to go to Wembley and not be worried about the result ?

As I keep saying to him….just hope you get promoted as it will be nice to go to an away game which is closer to a home game for me ??

They`ve sold out 38k tickets I believe? Only about half of what the s*gs would take but impressive nonetheless..................................

A proper final between two proper teams, I`m looking forward to watching it.

Argyle really dislike us, and would never wish us well. I’d prefer them to stay down to be honest, but as a team they’ve been remarkably consistent and you can’t argue that they’d deserve it if they finish the job.

Your right they don’t.. funny as they haven’t been relevant to us since about 2009. We have overtaken them both on and off the pitch massively since the early 2000’s so it wouldn’t bother me either way if they came up to be honest. Certainly don’t view them as a threat these days!

I served in the RAF early 70's with a guy called Bob Warren who played for Chelsea and then his hometown, Argyle. He passed a few years ago so for that sake, I hope they get promotion ( as runners up to Sheff Wed, my other team )

Are you driving a minibus for them?

My 1st ever away game was meant to be Argyle away. Got to the outskirts of Plymouth & the coach turned around as the game had been called off. The rearranged fixture was midweek, they needed to win for promotion & we got stuffed 4 -0.  Think Tynan got a hat trick. Naively I was impressed with our away following, till they scored & it was clear loads of their fans who couldn't get tickets were in our end! 

Never been to home park but i always envision tommy tynan scoring against us when i think of plymouth,, a devon david kelly!

Lost count of how many times I've been there, usually had a good day/weekend.
One game sticks out. Cup defeat bloody cold, not sure if it was a night game or just seemed like it. 
After we lost (3-1 ?) we were kept in for a bit and taken around/across the pitch to get out. After slagging anyone off for poor control during the game, it was all we could do to keep out feet walking on the pitch. 
One of those places I can't remember ever seeing us win. 

Just looked and I think it was FA Cup replay on a Monday in January . 0-0 FT 3-1 AET

About 19 minutes in .

We hut the post in about the 93rd minute IIRC, You`re right though, we got walked across the pitch afterwards and it was bloody slippy.

Just watching the build up to the Pizza trophy final on Westcountry TV and it just occurred to me that if Plymouth win it and win League 1 would they be the only club other than us to do that double?

Not sure,  but I think Brum did Promotion and Trophy before us. Rotherham last season.

But as you suggest we won League 1 and the trophy.

Damn, they had a new banner to display at Ashton Gate at 05:00 If they won...

There’s got to be a picture somewhere on here of that banner that those clowns sneaked in with. I’ve tried searching but I can’t find it. That’s a good enough reason for me to dislike them and hope they don’t get promotion ??‍♂️

B1ackbird made reference to 05:00 because in 2004 ( I think it was) Plymouth fans sneaked in and unravelled a green banner by the old club shop. Of course they had to do it very early so nobody saw them.

Glad they got stuffed, hope they blow promotion aswell, got no time for them at all and they certainly wouldn't be wishing us well. They can be very "gaslike" they think they are the Newcastle of the South West and its not the greatest of places to visit for football, can be quite nasty down there.

2 games next season that would be interesting. Hope they do it.

I don't know about "wishing us well" but I have known quite a few Plymouth fans, I worked there for some years, and I would say that their view of us is similar to our view of Southampton.

We each recognise that the other is the bigger / better club but also think that we ought to be up there at the same level competing against them.

They would like to be our rivals as we would like to be Southampton's.

Their actual rivals are Exeter and they would prefer a much better class of rivalry.

I’m confused, when have we ever wanted to be Southampton’s rivals?

Agreed, we might wonder why we aren't on their level but I don't see them any differently to any other middling Prem Club

Indeed. Rovers, Cardiff and possibly can throw Swansea in the mix nowadays as our direct rivals. Never ever consider Southampton as a rival though, don’t know any City fan that does to be honest.

Swansea are not a bigger rival than Swindon imo. Maybe because atm they're in the same league but for me it's always Rovers, Cardiff, Swindon for us as rivals go.

Swansea and Plymouth are clubs we just don't particularly like. I feel we have forced a rivalry a bit with Cardiff and Swansea but that's just my own personal opinion.

Maybe not but I was thinking back to the days when their Academy was stealing all the good prospects from under our noses and we wanted to have an Academy that would rival theirs and not see all the good young players heading there.

Which we have IMHO achieved.

I agree that I have conflated two different issues there.

You never forget your first visit to Wembley, the fact the weather was great and we won 3-0 made it a day that will live forever for those that were lucky enough to be there.

I hadn't realised that yesterday was Plymouth's first EVER cup final. Along with having never played in the top flight, that feels like a history of underachievement for a decent sized club, with plenty of potential. 

Not that we're ones to talk, but at least we've been to what 4 cup finals and played a few seasons in the first division.

Their potential is similar to us.

The catchment area is huge like ours.

When we were going for promotion in 2004 alongside Plymouth and QPR, the crowds for us and Plymouth were on a par.

Not made any finals but did make the FA Cup Semis losing to Watford at Villa Park as a third tier side.

6 finals. 1 FA Cup, 5 EFL Trophy.

I have always felt that Swindon wanted to create a bigger rivalry with us, but I don't think we were that interested until those games in that season.

They're up there with the Gas, for me. Can't stand them, hated them even before that season. If they were a Championship regular with us every season like Cardiff and Swansea i'm sure there would be a rivalry.

I think we have slightly more potential than them since Bristol is quite a lot bigger than Plymouth and our surrounding population is much higher but they like us have failed to realise their true potential for far too long.

Rovers, Cardiff, Millwall in that order.

Probably an age/‘familiarity’ type - thing.  

Brum, Swansea and then Plymouth … would follow.

Swindon were never on my radar really after we took over their place - I think - in the early 70’s (with Millwall present).

Saints have just one bitter rival and it's very deep routed, going back generations, skates v scum IIRC.

Beyond football.

Done Rovers a few times preceding, including the 5-0 ‘Tulips Derby’. May have also been to Cardiff.

Swindon though, was the  first of the football away days train ‘specials’ for me. 

 Millwall, I think, were on the East End the previous week and joined in with the chant ‘If you’re all going to Swindon..’ and cold blow me, they flippin went!!

Yeah your probably right, although they have the all of Cornwall  and North Devon to call on.

There's no doubt that either of us would fill a 30,000 ground in the top league.
