How long have you supported Plymouth Argyle?

The first game was in 1967 but the majority of games (613 so far) are from the mid-90s onwards.

Where did you finish last season?

7th with 80 points but missed out on play-offs in the last game.

What do you think of your manager?

He has done a great job since being promoted to manager from assistant. Will probably be poached by a bigger club at some stage.

What are your hopes and expectations for the 2022/23 season?

Play-offs were the expectation after missing out so narrowly last season but after the start automatic promotion is a possibility now.

One(s) to watch?

Whittaker and Mumba have added class and flair to the team and got us over the line in tight matches.

Which teams do you think will finish in the top six in League One?

Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth, Peterborough, Barnsley, and Argyle.

Which teams do you think will finish in the bottom four in League One?

Morecambe, Forest Green, Burton, and Cheltenham.

What are your thoughts on Lincoln City?

A well-supported club that are tough to beat this season.

What do you think the score will be?

1-1.

Random fact about your Club?

Although in Devon, Argyle owes its existence to the two Cornish founders of the club having been rejected by Plymouth FC and forming their own club.

If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your own team, who would it be and why?

A difficult one as no player seems to stand out but in case we lost our keeper in January then Carl Rushworth.

What are your proudest and most embarrassing moments as a Plymouth Argyle supporter?

Proudest was reaching the semi-final of the FA Cup in 1984 winning away at Derby closely matched by holding the full-strength World Club Champions to a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge last season.

Many embarrassing moments but going out of the FA Cup to Stourbridge on National TV was up there.

Who would you say is your most underrated player?

I would say Conor Grant who has been out with injury most of this season.  There are others who are probably rated higher but not underrated.

Do you have a Supporters Trust and what role do they play at the Club?

Yes, and it aims to represent the supporters and increase supporter influence within the club.

Which was your favourite match involving Plymouth Argyle?

Winning 3-1 at Rochdale in 2002 to get promotion after following the club all around the country that season and also the first success after many barren years in which I went to 29 away games without seeing a win.

Which was your least favourite match involving Plymouth Argyle?

Losing the FA Cup semi-final to Watford at Villa Park in 1984 – will that chance to reach a Cup Final ever come again?

Do you have a Former Players Association at Plymouth Argyle?

Yes, it’s called Argyle Legends and it aims to support former players and has the odd game against local clubs.

What is the best thing about Plymouth? (The place itself)

Being close to Cornwall!
