havanatopia Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sorry everyone.. I tried to search for last season's thread of same fixture but the new platform otib search box kept spitting out my request.. this, MODS, has actually been happening to me on Chrome since the day you went live.. fyi.I wanted to ensure no repetition of my same fixture thread.Anyway.. lets just throw this thread open to others this time to see if they can add some interesting facts about Albert Finney's Preston and the town of the same name.I did say 0-2 on Yohsi's predictor but would be equally unsurprised if its 1-1. I actually think we have a real chance tonight though with all things considered. Kodjia and Wilbs, one goal in each half.Off for a Filipino Indian.. whatever that is.. I'll let you know later.UTC.

Abraham Romanovich Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 To add a bit of meat to the bone of Havanatopia's original post who would have thought that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid have links to Preston. Butch did emanate from Preston and is said that the spoke with a "Lanky" twang. Born Robert LeRoy Parker in Beaver, Utah on April 13, 1866, Cassidy was the first of 13 children. His Mormon parents had come to Utah from England in 1856, his father came from Preston. http://www.utah.com/adventures/old_west/butch_cassidy.htm Also perhaps more interestingly The first Kentucky Fried Chicken shop in the UK was opened in Preston in 1965And there was I thinking it was a cultural backwater. 1 Quote Link to comment
reddogkev Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The first KFC was in Preston??? The chicken and seasoning used to taste so much better when they were called Kentucky Fried Chicken instead of the lazy KFC.Does KFC serve Filipino Indians?Back to the game, and I'm torn between 1 -1, or the Spoons inspired 3 - 2 city win.

cider-manc Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The Preston by pass was opened in 1958 becoming Britain's first motorway, it later became part of the M6. The M6 being the route many Preston fans took to watch their team thrash Swindon 4-0 at Wembley stadium in the 2015 play-off final.The black Horse pub is the only one in the country to have 3 public entrances on 3 different streets. Coincidently Jermaine Beckford scored 3 goals in the 2015 League 1 play-off final thrashing of Swindon. 2 Quote Link to comment

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Havana, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned that when Nogbad and pals followed City to Deepdale one wintry Saturday in the 80's there were 2 very odd blokes dressed as cowboys in the City end. Full regalia - stetsons, studded belts, cowboy boots, the lot (well, no pistols or lassos) and the wear and tear indicated these were their everyday clothes, not fancy dress.As the match progressed, and PNE scored, it became clear that these 2 oddbods were openly supporting Preston in our end, seemingly completely oblivious to the annoyance that might cause. However nobody objected too strongly as they had real spurs - evil looking sharp metallic outcrops sticking out several inches - on the heel of their boots, which could have caused alot of damage if they'd backheeled either in anger, celebration, or even accidentally. Very much potentially dangerous weapons and so visible you'd expect they'd have been removed at the turnstiles. So, as they weren't actively agitating in any way, apart from numerous dirty looks they were simply given a wide berth by what, after all, was a fairly small City following on a spacious, if fenced off, away terrace. The impression we got was the bizarre duo appeared so comfortable, at home, and impervious to the away fans that they were probably in this spot in the away end dressed like this every week with the full knowledge of the police and whatever stewards there might have been at the time, whoever the opposition. Quite surreal. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Maybe they were the PoliceNo, they definitely weren't wearing Sheriff and Deputy badges. Quote Link to comment
havanatopia Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Are you going to eat something afterwards ?the filipino indian quenched my appetite rather well but i did feel the need for some food afterwards. Oh i see what u did there Ise !!I was going to add that no doubt the reason the M6 was indeed the first bit of motorway in the country was because the boys with the tarmacadam machine needed to be close to KFC, whoops sorry Kentucky Fried Chicken, for their lunch breaks. It was absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it was the last decent (thats a larf) meal before haggis land. I did enjoy the bit about Butch and Sundance; surely it behooves somebody to open a tru cowboy style diner in the town as homage. Now there's an idea. Quote Link to comment
BigTone Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 No, they definitely weren't wearing Sheriff and Deputy badges. That surely means they were undercover 1 Quote Link to comment
Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 No, they definitely weren't wearing Sheriff and Deputy badges. They weren't rusty sheriff or deputy badges were they?, perhaps you weren't at Deepdale but actually at Brokeback mountain. Quote Link to comment

Selred Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Slightly disappointed to see Wilbs start again. However I believe we should and can get three points tonight. COYR's! Quote Link to comment
Lew-T Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The PNE side lacks pace to me. Should be better for us as Brum were rapid on the wide areas. Quote Link to comment

And Its Smith Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 First game of the season for me. Nice ground and great looking pitch. 40 minutes till kick off and there are probably 300 people here in total!! Quote Link to comment
Cider red Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 imagine it will look like that at kick off Quote Link to comment
old_eastender Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Slightly disappointed to see Wilbs start again. However I believe we should and can get three points tonight. COYR's!I and I think an increasing number of others would second that thought, like to see Agard start up front with Kodjia, but can't see Cotts doing that unless Wilbs picks up a knock.
