IN this day and age, it is very rare for us all to adhere to traditional 3pm kick-offs on a Saturday afternoon and today we welcome the Sky crew to Home Park and hope that they will witness a very attractive game.

Because we are on Sky today, we will receive £60,000 compensation through the Football League TV deal, whilst Swansea will get £10,000. In cash terms, that probably equates to around 4,000 paying customers.

Next season, when the new TV contract kicks in, the home club will get £100,000 but the away club will still get the £10,000 because obviously there is more adverse commercial effect on the home club than on the visiting club.

So we hope that the Sky audience enjoy their visit to Home Park and, of course, we will see them again, strangely enough, for our fixture with another Welsh team, Cardiff, later in the season.

It is early in the season, and the league table is still taking time to unfold but with Swansea just recently promoted, it is a few years since they have been down to Home Park so they will be up for it. I would imagine, after a very, very pleasing first game of the season against Wolves, we will match them for enthusiasm.

We had a good attendance at that game, too, one that was obviously swelled by 2,700 supporters from Wolves. Although it is unlikely that we are going to have that kind of number coming down from South Wales today, we will welcome them and the chance for both clubs to put on a show for the viewing public.

Three points are obviously vital for both clubs today as nobody wants to be marooned in the bottom-half of the league table early in the season. It is going to be competitive and, as Paul Sturrock has often said, this season the Championship is going to be particularly challenging.

We have already played two of the favourites for promotion so far and Swansea will come to us buoyed up by a lot of enthusiasm after a good victory last weekend, so it is all to play for.

On another, rather unsavoury point, there was an incident at the Reading game, amongst our own supporters for which the Police are asking for witnesses to come forward with any evidence or recollections of what caused the problems.

It was only a minor incident, involving six to eight supporters, but it was rather unsavoury, and we have had a number of emails and letters from our own supporters who were disappointed that there was a small section amongst our own whose behaviour was at less than an acceptable standard.

We do not want a witch-hunt, but if anybody wants to come forward, then they can contact Ray Barnes at Roy.Barnes@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk if they have any information that might be relevant.

We, as a club, work very closely with the Police and all we want to do is ensure the safety of our supporters at home and away.

So let us nip that in the bud as early as possible.

The standard of behaviour at the Wolverhampton game was excellent and it contributed to a fantastic atmosphere and long may that continue.

Although I do not expect that today's attendance will be anywhere close to that of the Wolves game, those that are at Home Park will hopefully will see a good game and will cheer Argyle on to our first home victory of the season.
