Yet another thread has been started on us by those very bitter folk to the west:

http://www.pne-online.net/forum/showthread.php?97295-The-Rovers-Derby

Indeed. Interesting reading the comments by PNE supporting, Darwen born tom23.

He drinks in the Sunnyhurst, my local when I lived in Darwen. The Sunnyhurst run coaches to home games and away games from time to time. He's been invited on the coach for the Preston game. Apparently, he can't stand us and, amongst a plethora of insults, calls us (from the comfort of his keyboard) " Plastic dicks. " Charming, don't bite the hand that feeds you and all that. I wonder if he'll be so up front whilst on the coach, surrounded by his Plastic Dick mates?

I went on the Sunnyhurst minibus to Wigan one year, great set of lads who must have had about 500 years of Rovers supporting behind them. Plastics indeed!

I suppose being a 'Plastic' is a bit like the 30000 that come out of the woodwork for their play off finals and then vanish. I'm sure if they reached the promised land these fans would be the first in line for season tickets.

Hehe, I was probably on it. We did Wigan more than once and because I know Wigan reasonably well (season ticket holder at the Warriors), I sorted a few pubs out before the game.

And, yes, no plastics in the Sunnyhurst. Without naming names, there are a good few who've supported the lads since the early/mid 60s and been just about everywhere. Yes, they would have gone to Celtic and other European games when times were good, but also equally to places like Leyton Orient, Mansfield and Colchester when times were not so good.

Indeed, they are a club who gets 19k for pre season friendlies v Liverpool then a week or so later about 9k for their first home league match. Plastics indeed, get back to living in the Finney era nobbers, oh and our shadow ;)

Rovers now saying that just 500 remain for next week and they anticipate selling out over the weekend.

Remarkable given that yesterday they had almost 1200 remaining. They seem to have sold 700 in the last 24 hours, presumably a surge in anticipation of it being the first game for the new manager.

There will be thousands of Blues in the centre, so plenty I would have thought.

Though I have heard that if you arrive by train, the police try and get away fans to go to the pubs on Friargate- Roper Hall etc.

The Police encourage the Dingles down Friargate a few years back, Roper Hall got an inbred makeover.

Anywhere in particular that would be good to drink in pre-game?

The Old Vic across from the railway station is full of visitors for every PNE home game and they have been putting on free buses from there to the ground (I saw this for Wolves this season and Bristol City last season) to save the police marching fans through town.

Sounds like his wife uses a 'Plastic Dick' instead of him!

Against Bolton there was trouble at the Adelphi Pub. Near the University at the bottom of Friargate. I was asked three times if I was Bolton or Preston. My mate asked a Bolton fan where they were in the league which livened things up for a while.

Suggest Rovers fans stay in town. The Sumners historically has been PNE, the County arms and Deepdale long gone, along with the Skeffington Arms.

Train station to the Old Vic, down Corporation Street, Corn Exchange, Old Bull, Oneils, Roper Hall, adelphi.

Be careful gang PNE fans l know are talking the talk.
