shelts Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I was at the game Sean McCarthy played, think he’d lost his dad maybe the day before . Cats coach and it seemed like we’d never get to Preston , murder by Walsalls ground . Watford won the league and we were second . Cotts changed that for me … winners !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy equalised, ran towards our terrace celebrating, attempted a somersault and put his back out, had to be subbed haha. Shame about the result, but a great weekend on the lash in Blackpool.

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 It was a good day out, apart from Macken winding us up. The Preston fans seemed genuinely pleased about us getting promoted, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it case of in ground and Concourse The White Harte is about 15 minute walk, was last in there during the Cotts promotion season, it's decent enough, they'll have the lunchtime game on in there I expect. Shame The Sumners has been demolished as it was a fair bit closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd been 2-0 up and the ref pretty much carried on playing until they equalised. Remember that one we were cruising he he gave them a pen and think they got a dodgy equaliser.crowd got at him ht an all changed second half . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
