Really?Anyone going via train, avoid going via Bristol. Stick to the direct train via reading. Likely to delayed with a bus from Bristol.
Really?
I’d appreciate a link to where you got this info from as I can’t find mention of it on National Rail’s site/journey planner.
Coming from Cheltenham, that would not be ideal.Cross country services have been effected on weekends for a while now across the country.
Missing slots out at very short notice (overnight) then mentioning busses which may or may not happen.
I’d Ox or Didcot, go to reading then change. If Bristol or the SW. go to Exeter SD and connect.
I've been to the Britannia before, busy and didn't really mind away fans mingling in there.Away Guide | Plymouth Argyle

The closest 'away' pub, The Brittania, doesn't sound too welcoming in the above ^^ (2nd) guide- queue to get in & 'sing songs and you'll be ejected!' -
Hyde Park Social Club and The Cherry Tree sound a bit more welcoming ?
@Paul B may know of others in the vicinity?

I'm surprised by Plymouth fans saying we don't travel well. Is that really the case? I think our away support has been great this season.
I would say it’s been great on occasions:
Sheff Weds
Charlton (although you’d expect 2k+to travel anyway)
Pompey
Cambridge
Shrews was ok
MK was decent
Ipswich
Cheltenham - tiny allocation
QPR
Wimbledon - tiny allocation
Wigan on a Tuesday was a good turn out
On the flip side, I thought the following were poor efforts:
Bolton
Burton
Rovers in the cup
Sunderland
Gillingham
Accrington
Maybe we should compare us to Mk to see if our away numbers are that bad?
I can't think of any league 1 clubs with similar average home attendances that travel any better than us. Sunderland, Pompey, Wigan, Bolton, Rotherham, Plymouth, Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton all have bigger away followings than us but also have bigger home fans.

As well as being a bad example purely because it’s MK Dons. Let’s also not forget MK would sell you 8000 away tickets if you could sell them. So their average home attendance gets massively boosted by that against the bigger clubs!That is possibly the worst example I’ve ever heard in my life. Ever.

OK how about Wycombe then they are only just behind in the table, what's their excuse
I would suggest comparing us to Lincoln CityWycombe achieved a crowd of 3391 vs Fleetwood on 15th March and a crowd of 4083 vs Cambridge on March 1st.
They are not remotely comparable to us.
