    If you call yourself a Rams fan, I would suggest it is you that needs to hang your head in shame.  That was a million miles from a shameful performance, and that is a preposterous statement for you to post!
     
    BOOOOOOOO!

    For those interested I have planned to take my dog for a walk as usual and hope to be in the Fortescue Hotel pub (Mutley Plain) around 6.30 pm on Tuesday night. This pub is my local and is only 20 odd minutes walk from my house, which is only 6 minutes walk from the stadium.  This pub would be a safer venue than the Britannia and Cherry Tree pubs that are closer to the ground which will be full of Argyle fans. See you there for a pre-match drink and chat if any of you are keen to do so. My 14 yr old dog is a cross Collie/Alsation called Poppy, I'll be the old grey haired guy drinking a real ale. If you leave the pub the same time as me, I will show you the quickest route to the ground. And yes I have my ticket for the match in the Barn Park away end.

    There is no hotels near the ground, best bet is Premier Inn's normally the cheapest, there is 3 in Plymouth all similar distance to the stadium. There is 5 or 6 Guest houses on Alma Road, which is easy walking distance to both railway station and the Stadium. You are looking at £80+ per night. Just google Guest houses, Alma Road, Plymouth for a list.

    With the match being only just over a week away, I thought I would do a run down on drinking holes near to the ground.
    The nearest pub to the ground is The Britannia Inn, a mere 8 minute walk from Home Park Stadium. It's located at the end of Outland Road at a busy junction close to the City bus depot. It's a Wetherspoons pub open from 8 a.m. till midnight, on match days expect it to be busy.
    The next nearest pub is the Cherry Tree, going the opposite direction along Outland Road (northeast) getting to a crossroads junction turn left at the lights into Ham Drive. Approx 15 mins walk from ground, this is a Craft Union run pub so drinks are cheap compared with other pub companies. Very sport orientated with lots of big TV's around the room. No food available, but there is a indian takeaway close by that also does traditional fish & chips. Pub does attract some dubious characters (you've been warned).
    The best option is to get onto Mutley Plain, which is approx 30 minutes walk away from the ground. Its an easterly direction from the ground. Here there is 7 drinking holes and lots of takeaways on this stretch of road. At the South end is the Junction Pub (unfortunately closed on Tuesdays). On the opposite side of the road is the Dog & Duck, open at 10 a.m till 1 a.m (No real ale and a bit of a dive). Further up is the Fortescue Hotel, this place is a real ale pub (9 pumps and discount for Camra members). They don't do food, but are happy for you to walk in with your takeaway. Open at 12pm till 11pm on Tuesday's, this is my local, staff are wonderful here. Further up is another Wetherspoons pub called the Mannamead, open 8 a.m. till midnight also very good. Next a little further on the right is the Bulletproof Brewery Taphaus, it specializes in German craft lager (brewed by them) and sells pizza's. At the north end of Mutley plain in the middle of the road which is a big island junction sitting on it is the Hyde Park Inn, open 11 a.m. to 11p.m. The Food is very good here and its a quirky pub decorated through out with 1970's adverting signs on all the walls. Other food outlets on this 600 metre stretch is KFC, Pappa Johns, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Domino's and just off Mutley Plain a fish & chip shop.

    Yes you are correct, the river Tamar is the border between Cornwall & Devon from the esturary at Plymouth up to near the village of Meddon where the river starts then the last 3 miles or so of the border cut across from east to west to Welcome Mouth beach.

    There is normally a Pasty van parked up at the Barn park end of Central park (east side of the park entrance). Yes they are handmade, but no chips, just pasties.

    I would'nt be surprised, when Chester is fit and up to speed, Warne could switch to 3 centrebacks and have wingbacks. Not being horrid to Curtis Davies but I would have Jake Rooney on the bench instead. The young lad got more energy/speed and can play in more positions than Curtis.

    If your'e 78 and went to Olive Eden School, you are the same age as my auntie who also went to the same school. She was called Sandra Wallis, her mum (my Gran) was a big friend of Olive Eden. Olive Eden was the local councillor who lived in Rupert Road, Chaddesden. She was behind the idea of having a school built, hence why it was named after her.

    Yes, but don't expect a 8-9 hours round trip. Travelling from Derby for a 8pm kick off 250  miles away means that the bus will have to leave Derby by around 2pm to ensure they get there on time. Meaning they will encounter busy day time commuter traffic along the way. The return journey back to Derby will be obviously quicker leaving sometime around 10pm meaning arriving back at Derby approx 2.30am. Hope you don't snore loudly on the return journey B4, more hopeful that you will sat on the coach with a big grin on your face if we secure 3 points.

    Tuesday night, 8pm Kick off and live on Sky sports. Plymouth Argyle's away end will have approx 1,700 ticket allocation. Coming from Derby by car, you would need to allow at least 5 hours travelling time, then finding somewhere to park near the ground is very hard.  I know this because I actually live next to Central park where the ground is located. It takes me 6 mins to walk from my house to the Home Park Stadium. Nearly every match of late have been around 15,000-16,000 attendances, the capacity is 17,900.
    Catching a train is not possible, by the time the match finishes the next train back to Derby is at 00.34hrs (Wednesday). if you come down for the match, it more or less means an overnight stop in Plymouth. Any fan thinking of making the trip and wants some information on pubs to visit etc, just reply on this blog.

    plymouthram reacted to Jourdan in Away form   
    I don’t think the away form is a concern.
    We have won five, drawn four and lost just two in 11 away league games under Warne.
    Plymouth have won five in 15 away from home across the entire season and they have been in the top two for the majority of the season.
    Realistically, we don’t need an ‘away scalp’. It’s still just three points at the end of the day.
    If we maintain our home form and win consistently at home, we only need to make ourselves difficult to beat on our travels. We have been achieving that, with today being just a minor blip hopefully.
    There’s no need to panic, nor should we unless the home wins start to dry up.

    Yes I've been looking on Wednesday's forum, there is a few though that are still a little cautious. I do think though, if we were in Wednesday's position and with their form, we would be all giving it the large one. But with 18 games to go, 17 for Plymouth & Ipswich, its still a lot of points to be won or lost.
    On Ipswich forum, they seemed to given up on having a automatic place and just hope to stay in the top 6 for a play-off slot. Plymouth 2 forums are split between staying in the top 2 or finishing 3rd. What ever happens, it's staying in the race as long as possible, keeping Plymouth & Wednesday looking over their shoulders at the team that won't go away.
