Plymouth Argyle 0-1 Swansea City

Home Park is home of Plymouth Argyle (The Pilgrims). Staying down in Plymouth for Family Reason, I (Ross) took the chance to go and see Plymouth Argyle play Swansea City at a 5:20pm kick off in front of Live Sky Sports cameras. Three of the four stands have been re-developed, the Barn Park end (Houses mostly Away supporters), the Lyndhurst stand where I sat and the Devonport End. The Grandstand which is the oldest part of the ground which dates back to the late 1940's is now all seater which used to be terraced on the lower tier. FACT - Home Park is the most westerly and southerly League Ground in England. As I found my seat, I spoke to this nice couple about the subject Leicester City and then Ian Holloway. The game saw Plymouth lose 1-0 by a Jason Scotland goal . The traditional turnstiles to the Grandstand are worth seeing.
