IT COMING HOME read thread for ticket news

HOME Park will host Plymouth’s only mass screening of England’s World Cup semi-final against Croatia on Wednesday night.

The Three Lions bid to make only their second ever World Cup final, and with the excitement being felt across the country for this huge event, Argyle have teamed with Plymouth City Council to provide a public venue for the game to be broadcast.

Two big screens will be quickly erected at Home Park so that families and friends can enjoy the occasion together.

Entry will be completely free of charge and should England be victorious, the event will be repeated for the final on Sunday.

The game kicks off at 7pm; gates will open from 5.30pm. Several blocks of the Lyndhurst stand will be open, and tickets are strictly limited. Seating will be unreserved.

Tickets are available from the Argyle Ticket Office on 01752 907700; from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or in person at Home Park.

Tickets will be available on the gate if they remain. Fans are advised to book in advance to avoid queuing, delays and disappointment.

Refreshments will be available from kiosks inside the stadium. Supporters will be allowed to take their beverages to their seats during the game.

A Council statement said: "Other venues to show the match were considered, but Argyle were chosen as hosts because of their professionalism, experience in hosting large scale events and exemplary safety record."

Councillor Pete Smith, Deputy Leader, said: "We are delighted to be able to team up with Argyle to put this event on for the people of Plymouth.

“The England football team have captured the nation with their passion for the shirt and so it’s only right that we as a city give people the opportunity to enjoy this wave of optimism and excitement together.

“I’d like to thank the team at Argyle for their support in helping to make this event possible.”

Interim Argyle Chief Executive Mark Lovell said: “We were delighted to be asked by Plymouth City Council to partner in this event, which means Plymouth can join the rest of England in our enjoyment of this World Cup.

"We are proud of Argyle's position in the community, and to welcome thousands of England fans for this special occasion will reinforce that.

“Home Park has been the scene of great success for Argyle in recent years; we would love to be able to celebrate England advancing to the final, and maybe even lifting the trophy, with the rest of our beautiful city.”

Better if it was at the Brickfield, better beer and better food

Can you take your own beer or only theirs?

A convenient excuse for PCC to continue to not allow football coverage at their massive city centre screen, even with a world cup semi final. Brownie points for brent and Mallett in their ongoing negotiations.

Home Park has been a scene of great success for Argyle in recent yrs..They sure there talking about the right place...I must have missed that in the last 10 yrs then lol

Steady now in case you trip up in the rush

Can't see there being a rush with the now obligatory e-mail address and detail farming you have to go through with anything brent is concerned with.
Watch out next year, turnstiles, proof of ID and credit worthiness before you enter the city's shopping centre.

why aren't they putting it on the screen in town ?

too many dickheads who cant handle their shandy that will ruin it aswell so i cant blame pcc for not allowing it. Send them to walkabout.

he must be devastated that tonight's match at Callington was called off at the last minute.
