[Archived] Enders (Knob) V Mighty Rovers

[tomphil]

Well it's that time of year we lock horns with some of Lancashire's most bitter and twisted deluded Rovers haters again.

Might as well get it started early seeing as it's a derby, ooh the excitement.

Tough game as always, if our lot show up we can get something and hopefully they'll be up for this like the Newcastle match.

Preston 2 Rovers 2

Drop the mighty bit tomphil as we're on the floor.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Depends which Rovers team turns up. The Newcastle Rovers or the Huddersfield Rovers. If it's the Newcastle team we'll get a result, the Huddersfield team we'll get beat.

Drop the mighty bit tomphil as we're on the floor.

Always mighty when it comes to local rivals. Venkys and partners can kill the present and maybe the future but they can't take our past. History shows us to be the best club around here even pre 1995.

[ABBEY]

2000 less going than last season ,speaks volumes on #venkysout and people like me protesting this year.

[tomphil]

They're only expecting 2.5k from Rovers at Weepdale i'm told, poor whichever way you look at it.

[Stuart]

This game last season was a time of hopeful optimism, with Lambert, Irvine and Kelly taking charge.

Hindsight shows this was nothing more than a 'dead cat bounce' from the perspective of the club's fortunes.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Dragging myself out of the woodwork for this one. Got tickets back end of last week, they reckoned we had sold around 2.5k then. Can't imagine that Saturday's performance will put many on that figure. That said, may be a late surge as it's better than Xmas shopping!

That's sounds better, it was a North Ender feeding me the propaganda although i don't know why there'll probably not be many more than 12k in the home sections. If we take 3k that's respectable given the TV and circumstances.

[Mercer]

Whatever anyone may think of the fan base, the club have been a class act in refunding the travelling supporters costs from the fines imposed on the players, in response to the bust up on Saturday

Yep, full marks to PNE.

On the field, they are a bit hit-or-miss.

Fully expect Saturday to be a 'miss' following their shenanigans at Sheff Wed with Coyley's lads collecting a welcome three points.

Game on Tv so some fans will select to watch it at home or in the pub.

[Mattyblue]

Need to remember that there was a real optimism around the club prior to last season's Deepdale visit. We could have sold 6/7000 for it.

Considering how deflated the fanbase is, 3000 wouldn't be too bad for a TV game

never venky and chums fault ,this time its live tv. **sigh**

[rog of the rovers]

Last years trip was full of optimism.

Just over a year on, how the tables have turned.

Went last year, would have gone this year, but for it being on TV and at the worst time for a fixture, particularly this close to Christmas, with works dos, family meals etc.

[ABBEY]

Normally all over a trip to nobbers , hate them as much as dingles . . But even turned corperate down .

#nomoretilltheygo

[Gary Paul]

ABBEY the belm making absolutely no sense, as per.

[Gary Paul]

You've sold just shy of 1,600 btw.

[ABBEY]

Knob off nobber

[McClarky]

Belm. That's a word I've not heard for a while.

[Mike E]

It's also one that ended his short stay here this time

[Hanks]

I am doing the corporate with a group of Preston fans in the Invincibles lounge, The brother in law organised it so regardless of performance or result hoping for a good day out. The 5-3 win at Deepdale in 1967 was my first away game, Barrie Hole scored a couple and it was very foggy.

[1864roverite]

Really couldn't care less Venkyscum killing my love for football slowly but surely.

0-1

I'm on the same, though there will be more Rovers fans than them sat at our table!

[LewisF]

Going to this one, not sure what to expect tbh, but given their fiasco last game and having two strikers suspended
