handsofclay Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Iirc, Preston were four up away at Blackburn and a large group of Preston fans were congregated outside the telegraph office in the centre of town awaiting news of each new score as it came in. When the fourth went in they broke out in a chorus of "You're supposed to be at home, you're supposed to be at home." Apparently, it cleared The Golden Fingers Massage Parlour of all its punters next door within seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
