    I only went to Deepdale once - back in 1998 last game of the promotion season under John Ward. We lost 2-1 and Graham Taylor's Watford ended up taking the cup. 

    Me and Mrs R&W were in the Tom Finney stand with the Preston fans - which was a bit worrying at times - especially when the stupid wife celebrated our goal - but the Preston fans were fine!

    I remember being impressed with the facilities there - there was a huge bar in the back of the stand which seemed to stretch the whole length. It was manned by so many bar staff that there was no queue at all at half time. Got served straight away and watched the highlights of the first half which were being shown on multiple TVs mounted all along above the bar. 
    It put the (then) facilities at Ashton Gate to shame. 

    The Preston fans stayed and clapped us afterwards which was a nice touch. John Ward led the boys over to acknowledge them.

    Benny took us over the following season and the rest is history ?

     

     

    I was there as well and remember it fondly as the Preston fans clapped the City team at the final whistle.
