Over 1,100 Plymouth Argyle fans are making a 642-mile round trip to support their team away at Blackpool this Saturday. The journey is the club's second longest in League One this season.
Tickets for the match at Bloomfield Road remain available from the Home Park Ticket Office until 2pm on Thursday. Supporters can also purchase them on the day from 1.30pm at the away turnstiles. Admission is priced at £28 for adults, with concessions for seniors, young adults, and children.
For those traveling by official coach, the Miles Away Travel service departs at 5.30am on Saturday from outside the Devonport End. The fare is £67 for adult members and £62 for junior members, with a slightly higher rate for non-members.
This show of support continues a strong trend of away followings for Plymouth, who sit sixth in League One on 10 points. The team is on a two-game winning run, including a 3-0 victory over Barnsley last time out.
Recent away trips have seen significant numbers. A total of 1,539 fans traveled to Wycombe Wanderers in August for a 1-1 draw. In early September, 1,630 were present at Leicester City's King Power Stadium for a 2-0 defeat. The most recent away game at Doncaster Rovers attracted 973 supporters to South Yorkshire for a dramatic 3-2 win.
Forward Oli Irow, who scored in the recent win over Barnsley, has spoken about his role. "One of my main strengths is bringing goals to Plymouth Argyle," Irow said.
The team will look to reward the traveling support with a result against a Blackpool side currently 10th in the table. The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, September 19. Check the latest standings to see how the result impacts the league position.
