Ground Regulations
Supporters are reminded about the importance of adhering to ground regulations.

These include pitch incursions, the use of pyrotechnics and missile throwing, as well as any form of discriminatory behaviour towards players on the pitch, staff or your fellow supporters. 

Fans from both clubs are also reminded that persistent standing throughout Home Park is not accepted and supporters will be told to take their seats throughout the game. 

We also wanted to remind fans of the importance of not throwing objects onto the field of play.

Objects or missiles thrown towards the field of play could cause serious injury or harm.

In certain parts of the stadium, we have made changes to how drinks are served in order to ensure this does not happen again, including the removal of lids on entry.

Laser Pens
Please note, laser pens are a prohibited item inside Home Park. Any supporter found to have a laser pen will have it taken from their possession immediately.

Persistent Standing
Following dialogue with the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA), Argyle would like to remind supporters of the importance of avoiding lengthy periods of persistent standing during matches at Home Park. 

By ‘persistent’ the Club means when individuals are standing in seated areas for prolonged periods of time other than for short durations in periods of play where it could be deemed unnatural to remain seated.

Standing in areas that are designed for seated accommodation can be dangerous, but can also impact the experience of your fellow Argyle supporters around you. The Club is intent on providing the best possible matchday experience for the whole Green Army and persistent standing has an impact on fans throughout Home Park and their viewing, but also their general experience.

Argyle are currently exploring the feasibility of implementing safe standing at Home Park, but for the foreseeable future we have to ensure we are complying with regulations.

We ask all supporters to work with us in adhering to the licence conditions of the ground. If we cannot address this situation and show improvement then it is likely that the club will be forced to impose, or have imposed, stricter measures, including a potential capacity reduction. 

Similar measures have been imposed at other stadiums previously and it is likely that others will also find themselves in the same situation as ourselves during the 2025/26 season.

The Club have reminded supporters several times of the impact persistent standing has on those around them. Stewards will now be instructed to direct Argyle fans to take their seat during matches, and we would encourage said supporters to comply with their instructions for the benefit of those around them. Should instructions not be adhered to, the Club may have to take further action moving forward. 

Warm-Up Safety
We wanted to remind members of the Green Army of the importance of keeping yellow hatched areas free from supporters.

The yellow hatched areas throughout the stadium are designed to be kept clear for safety reasons and to also provide accessible viewing. 

While we are aware and appreciate people want to stand at the front to watch the warm-up, it is limiting the spectator experience for those in wheelchairs who then cannot see.

Stewards throughout Home Park Stadium will be asked the clear the walkways to ensure every member of the Green Army has the same opportunity to view the players undergo their preparations. 

Supporters are asked to watch the warm-ups from their seats, respecting the wishes of all fans.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Argyle fans should be aware that gates open 90 minutes before kick-off.

The football special match-day buses will not be operating for this fixture.

The bus service will begin operating for this season from our opening day fixture on Saturday, 2 August, and at each home league game thereafter.

For cup games, a decision will be made on a match-by-match basis and supporters will be informed through the Fans' Guide for that specific match.

Supporters should be prepared to be searched by our security team as they enter the stadium.

Wherever possible, we will ensure that 'wand' searches are also undertaken by members of the same gender. If that is not the case upon entry, and you feel at all uncomfortable, please raise this with a member of the security team - who will make the necessary arrangements.

As with all major sporting events, bringing bags to the stadium is actively discouraged. However, fans arriving at Home Park with a small personal bag (for example, medical bags or handbags) capable of being stowed under seats is permitted. Please note, supporters should expect this to be searched before entry.

We ask that supporters arrive in plenty of time to avoid queues forming as kick-off approaches.
