A match that matters to everyone
IT IS not every day that The Herald devotes our front page, as well as our back page, to an Argyle match.
But these are extraordinary times. Argyle is much more than just a football club, it is a vital institution within this city and the fate of all of us is closely tied to that of the Pilgrims.
Whether or not you are a fan or whether you care a jot about football you should be cheering for Argyle this Saturday and during the vital games that follow.
If Argyle is relegated from the football league it will not just be fans that suffer – Plymouth will be the real loser.

Today is not the first time The Herald has called on fans to lift the team from the terraces. We want the opposition to fear the Green Army, not our own manager and players. Criticism is fine but during those vital 90 minutes the team needs to know we are all on the same side.
The Herald makes no apology for being Argyle to the core – we will tell it as it is but no-one should have any doubt where our allegiance lies.
However, our call today goes further than an appeal to the loyal fans who turn out week after week. We need thousands more to swell the numbers and add their voice to the Home Park roar and help our team secure a win which will give hope not just to the club but the whole city.
Bill Shankly famously once quipped: "Football's not a matter of life and death: it's more important than that." This Saturday, it will certainly feel like he was right.

“As before with Sutton Harbour Holdings, the Herald unashamedly declares its servitude to corporate vested interests which treat the people of Plymouth with contempt.
Perhaps this scorn for its readers explains why the Herald is having to flog its HQ. When it relocates to the City Centre, one of the rubbish bins would seem appropriate.”

“The die hard fans are still the supporting the club.If Mr Brent wanted a football club he would have put in the money to buy decent players and manager.Then argyle wouldnt have been in the mess its in.The fans, when the times were good were forgotton as there was too much concentrating on the the profits made. Season ticket holders pay up front then all the offers to encourage more to come or freebie tickets is kick in the teeth to them who have paid money up front. What happened to these so called 6 events in the top package offered for this season ? Many wonder if they go down what will happen to home park ?the club moved to something smaller and was was agreed to what can be built up there by then the conseravtive council?”
