Greens on Screen started its life in 1999 before many of the football sites that we are familiar with today, including Plymouth Argyle's own official site. Greens on Screen is dedicated to the sights, sounds and history of Plymouth Argyle Football club. It is owned and run by the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive, a charity dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and display of the heritage of our great football club.

The site owes its existence to Steve Dean. Without Steve's dedication and commitment for over 25 years, GoS would not exist and be the valued and loved resource for all football fans that it is today. The site is truly the envy of many clubs, and we owe a huge debt to Steve for his tireless work, and continued support behind the scenes.

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 - sights 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 was taken over by its new custodians, The Argyle Archive, in 2024.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by a team of volunteers from the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive (Argyle Archive). Without the hard work and much-valued contributions of these volunteers, running the site would not be possible. Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky.

Greens on Screen remains advertisement free, which means we are grateful for the generous support of our donors and the work of our volunteers to help keep it free of promotions. If you would like to support the work of Greens on Screen, please consider donating to the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive.

GoS's sole aim is to be a service to fellow supporters, and we look forward to continuing to celebrate Argyle'ss history for many years to come.

GREENS ON SCREEN NEEDS YOUR HELP!

The Argyle Archive are looking for Argyle fans with web management experience to help us keep Greens On Screen running into the future.

The Greens On Screen team at the Argyle Archive and Steve Dean in particular, have been working hard for several months to convert and modernise the code that makes Greens on Screen work. Thanks to the hard work of Steve, GoS will soon be updated to use PHP which is the language used by many websites worldwide. The conversion was required as GoS had a very short future using the previous language, Classic ASP.

Steve will very soon be taking a very well-deserved retirement from Greens on Screen. We have a great set of volunteers who keep Greens on Screen updated on a day-to-day basis, but we are looking for technical support. This means we are looking for volunteers who have a good working knowledge and practical experience of PHP, HTML, CSS and SQL who could help us with technical support.

Finding technical support will be crucial to keep GoS running into the future. If you can help us or know an Argyle fan who might be able to help support us, please let us know at [email protected]

If you are interested, we can also put you in touch with Steve who can give more detailed information on what’s required.
