Plymouth Survive After Last Day Drama
Plymouth Argyle ensured survival in the EFL Championship following a dramatic final day of action that saw all four teams battling against the drop secure victory.
Originally known simply as Argyle FC, the club was renamed before turning professional in 1903 and then joining the English Leagues.
Since then, the team has played across the second, third and fourth tiers with much success, has twice reached the semi-finals of the League Cup and has also appeared in an FA Cup semi-final.
Having run into financial issues, the club was rescued from administration in 2011 and has since worked towards its goal of becoming a sustainable club in the EFL Championship; the level at which it now operates.
The club is nicknamed the Pilgrims in homage to the first people that left Plymouth for America and the ship on which they travelled - The Mayflower - is featured on the club crest.
The club has played at Home Park, also referred to the 'Theatre of Greens' since 1901 with the ground having undergone many changes since then - most notably after extensive damage was sustained in World War II.
The refurbishment of the Mayflower Grandstand in 2019 left the stadium with a capacity of 17,000, which is regularly sold out as members of the Green Army flock to the ground to cheer on the team.
Aside from match days, the stadium is also used for a number of additional events, and various activities that are focused around the local community.
Plymouth Argyle's loyal following have backed the club through good times and bad, and put in plenty of hours on the roads for long away journeys - which could see them facing a round trip of more than 800 miles.
The Green Army know how to create an electric atmosphere at Home Park and appreciate the fans are a driving force behind the club and its ongoing success. Through our partnership, we hope to give back to The Green Army with various competitions and giveaways.
