I lived in Lancashire for 15 years and saw this us everywhere north of Birmingham and our following. aside from a few obvious exceptions, was usually average at best. Yet most of these towns/cities much better than Reading or Milton Keynes for a day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that in Spanish (or Portuguese) a similar word means “great goal” but it was used in Channel 4s Italian football program because ‘Golazo’ sounds like ‘Goal Lazio’...and as Gazza was playing for Lazio at the time the producers wanted it in the opening credits. Ah, that would make perfect sense! Not playing it at the Gate though - unless I was comatose during Gazza’s spell under Danny Wilson as a veteran.

I think most aren't looking for a day out they are looking to turn up watch the football and go home ASAP which is a bit of shame in my opinion as some of my best nights out have been following away games up north.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Anyone who gets off their ass and follows their team across the country deserves praise, not ridicule. Numbers are irrelevant. This whole "big club" point scoring winds me right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 The best following i ever saw them with here, was last day of season. When moyes took them up, they brought a few thousand. Its got to be the longest, or one of the longest trips they got all season. 750s not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 The prison was behind the old vetch field. I know a bloke who got locked up there. He said the biggest punishment, was looking at the ground everday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 So we're mocking the equivalent of 15 coaches from PNE visiting AG..? I'd say that's more than respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's more than respectable. I don't think anyone's mocking PNE or it's fans, the replies indicate quite the opposite - lots of respect shown for the club and for a reasonable following. Ted might wish to reconsider his initial post in light of the replies and the very different circumstances surrounding the visits of Blackpool and PNE. Other than that it's matchday and 750 enthusiastic away fans are more than enough to make a lot of noise. The onus now is on City fans to make sure they're drowned out.

shelts Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 That’s a great number and fair play to em . I’ve always liked PNE as a club and they’ve had some decent players and managers over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That's a very polite version of my first thought). Lots of interesting things in Preston - eg the British Commercial Vehicle Museum. What more could you want for a pre-match extravaganza?

That said, the city of Preston is a bit of a dump. Used to stay at a hotel near the bus station on business. Now that was an experience. Quite of few of the local lovelies would turn up playing their trade, as it were. Much better to go to the Tickled Trout just off the M6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I think they bought maybe 1500 for the last game of 18/19? Season before they had about a thousand for the Boxing Day game and tbf, I didn’t go to the home game in 19/20.

xerox6060 Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Was thinking the complete opposite to the title, 700 great effort for a team with an average start, travelling 200 miles who have played us loads of times. Rubbish comparison with Blackpool and their completely different situation, and as said probably 100 or 200 more than we'd have up their same date.
