Pne 0 - 1 Rovers

[1864roverite]

surprised this one hasnt surfaced after some time.

The night Matt Jansen headed us back into the big time.

Me and my mates and family had access to 9 PNE season tickets in their family stand as they had just gone on holiday to Turkey earlier that day. So we are in the stand and me mand my mate under orders not to jump around or cause any aggravation. Suddenly Rovers score in teh first half but alas its disallowed, I didnt notice as me and my mate danced with glee under the gaze of numpty ###### pne nobbenders who were a little miffed Rovers supporters had infiltrated @their@ end.

The first half flew by as I cosntantly had to give the verbals back to nobbenders and to defelct any attention to the wife and daughter who were sitting close by.

Half time see the entrance of the Old Bill, mates of mine. A swift exit follows as me and my pal are escorted around the pitch and deposited in the Rovers end in what is the tattiest little stand ever. A series of texts follow from the wife, all remained unanswered.

The second half begins with Rovers again the better team until Sir Matt send the ball goalwards and the net bulges. 1-0 Rovers rejoice in the blue and white shirt. The rest of the game is a blur, the only thing that I really remember is the chance right at the end when nobbend nearly scored.

Final whistle was fantastic. 2000 Rovers fans erupt, the nobbenders go home deflated whilst we are left to celebrate. Flitty, Matt, Shorty and co join in, Dunny and Duff as well as Souey are ecstatic. I managed to grab a tshirt off Dunny as I went for his shirt !

We had landed back in the big time and it was a fantastic feeling.

Outside on deepdale Juniors school car park, a nobbender thinks its funny to accost my wife as she give me abuse for leaving them all stranded, he spits on the shirt and before he realises what it is he did a quick crack sent him flying through the windscreen of his car. Never have I seen a 5t2 bird deck a 19 stone fella with one foul swoop of a right hand

So back to Leyland and the club was full of nobbenders sadly and glumly supping their pints whilst I walked in and ordered my bottle of champers which the wife had stashed in the fridge in readines for my celebration.

What a night

Nice one---

A few members of this site have a recollection of champagne drinking that night...the first meet of London based rovers resulted in chants of ..There's only one Jack walker reverberating around South Kensington at 2am..

A great night and Tris got laid as well if i remember!!

One of the best ever PNE away days was in the 74/75 promotion season. Nil-Nil but the atmosphere was second to none. Thousands of Rovers fans made the short trip. We went on a sort of football special and I was told it was the third train load that morning with the first one leaving Blackburn around 10am. Loads of double deckers were waiting at Preston railway station, to take us to Deepdale, as the police didn't want thousands of Rovers fans in the town centre. We were upstairs on one which was being rocked from side to side by everyone literally diving from one side of the bus to the other. The Town End was packed to the rafters and if I remember correctly, and like at Gigg Lane a few years later, the upper terracing was wooden and with the antics of the Rovers fans, absolutely rocking. We did them 3-0 at Ewood in the return fixture in front of 24,000 plus. Happy days. PS Can't remember much about the game.

Two Rovers mates from BNFL had tickets in the main stand at Deepdale, they were seen being ejected out of their seats midway through the second half after several instances of jumping up and shouting everytime we looked like scoring.

I celebrated sat on a wall outside Kwik Save with a doner kebab and a bottle of champagne.
