Favourite memory of Plymouth is skateboarding on the Hoe probably 45-ish years ago when skateboards were new and I'd never been anywhere before with such a big area of smooth tarmac.
Funny what sticks.

Went to Plymouth then Cardiff in succession for away games in 2004 I think. Due to rail works and trackside flooding it took SEVEN hours to get there from London. Got to Home Park 10 mins into the SECOND half.

If you have the time and can arrange them, a tour of The Royal Citadel, is very interesting, as is a tour of the decommissioned nuclear sub HMS Courageous.
A breakfast at the Jennycliff Cafe, with it's stunning cliff top views, is recommended. Saw Ian Holloway in there, once.

I went to Plymouth last Monday and was pretty disappointed but only there for a few hours. The Barbican is apparently not what it used to be which is probably true. The place looks tired and not as welcoming and vibrant as Exeter.

There's a rivalry between Exeter and Plymouth, not just the football, so have only ever been there for football, West Ham and also a non-league game there (Plymouth Parkway vs Bristol Manor Farm)...
Through gritted teeth got to admit the bars round the harbour are really good, especially on a good sunny day.

I am in The Mannamead pub, a Wetherspoons in Plymouth.
I'm about to order the brunch.
Why the fuck would I be lying about that?
It's hardly zoltaneering is it?

Re: Plymouth

just remembered this story.........
Forward George Reilly, who scored Watford's winning goal in the 1984 English FA Cup semi-final, has had his ear bitten off by a disgruntled Plymouth fan who had held a grudge over his team's defeat for 19 years.
Reilly, a 6 feet 4 inch striker, became a bricklayer after hanging up his boots and was working on a building site in Corby, Northamptonshire when a labourer punched him to the ground, England's Sun newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The attacker chewed off one of Reilly's ears and whispered "Plymouth" into the other one.
Doctors had to use 50 stitches to sew 45-year-old Reilly's ear back on.
Plymouth lost the semi-final 1-0, the closest they have ever come to reaching the FA Cup final. Watford went on to lose 2-0 to Everton in the final.
"I can't believe someone has held a grudge for that long," said Reilly, who also played for Newcastle United. "I know people have strong loyalties but this is taking it a bit far.
"This guy just punched me. I overpowered him and we were both lying in a pool of mud. Then he bit me. My ear was hanging by the lobe. I also needed eight stitches in my eye, so I'm in a bit of a mess."
Reilly, who said he may call in the police, added: "The bloke was from Plymouth but he has vanished from the building site. I don't know who he is."
