Greens on Screen’s first page was published in January 1999. Its early purpose was to bring Plymouth Argyle a little closer to those unable to see their team, and whilst it has changed a great deal over the years, its core themes - sites and sounds for Westcountry exiles - still stand. The site was very lucky to take on the content of Trevor Scallan’s Semper Viridis in the summer of 2007, and in 2009 launched GoS-DB, a wealth of facts and figures from PAFC’s history. A year later we embarked on a complete history of Argyle, with much-valued contributions from chapter authors.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by one person as a hobby, although there have been aspects of the site over the years that would be much the poorer without the hard work and much-valued contributions of a small band of volunteers.

Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky. Amongst a few stubborn principles, advertisements will never appear (and don’t get me started on the plague of betting promotions on other sites). It began its life before many others, including the club’s official site, when there was a large gap to be filled, and although there is now a wide variety to choose from, GoS’s sole aim, to be a service to fellow supporters, still seems to have a place.

IMPORTANT: now I've got your attention I just want to get my excuses in before you start looking at this content. Two problems: first, the poor light of an evening game means that auto-exposures are long exposures, so the photos are inevitably going to be blurred with all the movement going on. And other photos have been captured from TV coverage (I try not to do that now, but hey, this is special!), which means that the resolution of the resulting still-image is bound to be poor. Secondly, the video and audio pieces here are extra long because they were just too good to cut! So that means I've had to be quite severe in compressing the files, hence not the best of quality, especially the audio. There, excuses done, but on the other hand the content is superb, so just think of the lack of quality as adding to the atmosphere! Special thanks to Gordon Sparks for stunning radio; top coverage from a top man. And thanks to Tom Jarratt and James Mead (some of the photos are theirs), and to the BBC and Carlton Westcountry (some stills taken from their news reports). Finally, a big thank you to Tim Roughton for his video footage. I saw Tim with his camcorder on the pitch. Not knowing him I said who I was and he immediately handed over the tape for me to use! No questions asked, no second thought. That's what I call trust, that's what it is to be Green!

RAW AND REAL
	A real treat this, 'amateur' video footage from the stand and pitch gives a real taste of the atmosphere and excitement. Big thanks to Tim Roughton. Warning: this is a large file (3300K) so will take around 15 minutes to download on a 56Kb line, but for nearly 2 minutes of raw celebration it's worth the wait)
