Having never done supporters coach, is it a case of they rock you up in time for straight In ground or do you get there early enough to have a wonder around and get a drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches usually pitch up about 1pm to give time to greet players entering the ground. Plenty of time for a walk around and a drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post above stated it’s green football weekend , and the incentive from the club is a good one. Hopefully for us northern fans no train strikes so we can use public transport and not have to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have actually gone to the services near Preston before when the ground is only 15 minutes away as we have been too early!

formerly known as ivan Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Went to Preston away on coach many years ago. In fact it was the season we were promoted under John Ward. I remember it so well as the lock on the toilet on the coach broke on the way up and I was stuck inside for what felt like half the journey! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston staff, stewards and police are among the friendliest Ive experienced and no matter what time we arrive they will be welcoming. And even if we get there and the turnstiles arent open yet - a little walk around Deepdale is really good if you have never done it before. 3 hours ago, View from the Dolman said: Maybe switched to a double decker coach?

Yours truly is driving coach 1 this saturday - so hell yes its good! I always try to do a full lap walking around any away ground, never had a problem anywhere (but I think it helps that I'm not a youngster and that I'm also female. And yes I've been to Preston more times than I want to think about, and rarely return with a point nevermind all 3. It would be so nice to carry on our run of form up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
