Most PKE fans I've had the misfortune to talk to support 2 clubs. Whoever is winning everything at the time and they also have their Tinpot club.

This is absolutely spot on. A guy who used to run our local pub team was Preston born and bred but both him an his kids plus his life long best pall used to come in the pub one week in North End shirts then next in Utd shirts, you couldn't make it up.

Another lad I know who's a passionate Nobber ST holder and big big Rovers hater also goes watch Liverpool when he can and has donned the red shirt at 5 a side and in the pub, when they nearly won the league :lol:

Also a few years back when I lived down C-L-W, and this is all true, a bunch of guys from Whittle who worked for a local paint and decorating firm where the biggest PKE fans ever when it came to talking the talk. Yet all 5 of these had ST's at Old Trafford because they wanted to watch good football and the boss used to sort it for them, we'd deffo be at Preston though if they get to the Prem, said the big guy.

No wonder if find this lot bizarre.

Can we expect to see a few Rovers in the home ends then? Either way, its got the potential to be an absolutely fantastic day out. Going 2-0 Rovers :rover:

I've got tickets in Tom Finney. Not too sure how stringent PNE are in checking addresses, ID etc when purchasing either at Deepdale or online. I have an online account with purchasing history so was okay.

4-1 to Rovers.

I remember going over there in the later 1960's. Rovers really gave it a go that day and won in a canter 5-3. Mike Ferguson was in that un playable mood and gave the PNE left back a game he'll like to forget. Some of the big clubs were watching the full back ( John Ritchie ? ) apparently but that was the end of it for him. Alan Gilliver got the first with a Gestede style bullet header from a Fergie cross. I think Barry Hole got a couple more and Malcolm Darling smashed one in from a goal mouth scramble. Can't think who got the fifth. I'm on holiday so I've no access to my record books. Great day out though.

Just an edit - I can recall Fergie picking the ball up and running towards the full back and dummying to go outside and then coming back on the inside, I was right in line with the run and Fergie sent the full back, me, and about fifty blokes stood all around me the wrong way with the dummy. We all laughed at the ridiculousness of it !

Do you really want to go down that road? Half your fan base fecked off to support United when you was relegated from the prem. :)

You never had any support to feck off!

Stick to Bpool, they're more at your level.

*were. Must admit that's a rather large piece of bait you're dangling there. About as accurate as the notion the world is flat mind....

Gutted I'm not going to this now feels like the dawn of a new era (optimism is a bad thing)

Have you got any friends / family with a Preston postcode ? Think they start Brindle / Houghton way. If you have, get the tickets online. Have taken my allocation so can't help.

Rich coming from you lot, a few on this thread seem to be having sex wee's over 5k part timers turning up for your big game at Deepdale!

LOL. More delusional than an acid casualty this one.

As for part-timers, glass houses etc.
