But maybe we should be having a look at ourselves first. I don't care what anyone says, 190 is a joke. In our position So your no different than anyone else not going.

Forever.Red Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hats off to everyone going! I would love to go but used my goodwill up with the boss for the 3 Friday games and the Man City game plus not working Friday due to the snow, don't think his generosity stretches that far with me asking for another half day, so have to wait for the Burton game to get my fix but again, well done to all those making that long long drive, safe journey!!

Ok, IF this was their first trip to Deepdale for years and they were 6th after having gained promotion to the Championship last season I’d agree with you. That’s down to the novelty factor. However they have proved time and time again they are no better than anyone else when visiting grounds they go to every year, no matter where they are in the table. Big ground they haven’t been to for decades, they sell out...so do we. Ground they visit every year on a Tuesday night, they struggle just like us.

I think the general consensus here is if you were going tomorrow more people could understand your point even if it wasnt put across in the best manner. Secondly we are on the verge of selling out Saturday at Burton and finally the season tickets prices were announced last week and unless your on planet Mars you could understand that they have gone up quite a bit plus there is less time to renew, also have you seen the train ticket prices to Preston???

marmite Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 RedNight is correct, it is a poor turnout from our fans but he is just one of many, including me, who are not going themselves. There are 2 away games in 5 days so obviously cost and distance and the fact its an evening game, all are factors. The club could have tried some incentives to get fans to travel to Preston but those going to other away games would say that wasn't fair. It is what it is, we just have to live with it but I applaud all those travelling tomorrow and all away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
