The Lancashire Thread

[Destruction]

Preston won't finish higher than us and Blackburn

 

[roversfan2001]

You've got a striker worth £15million and you're celebrating being a point ahead of us? You're easily pleased.

Sold for £9m - only £6m off

Not my fault dodgy Derek has done you over

 

[Muzzle]

Gamn you humble pie time, just didn't expect you guys to do this well, but fair play you surprised me

 

[SF_]

Saw this on PNE Online, highlights from probably my favourite ever league game, PNE 5-3 Burnley, Fuller hat trick.

Just how good would the guy have been if it wasn't for his knee problems? his pace was unreal before his operations.

 

[PrestonCha]

Preston Noyf end.

 

[TomPNE94]

Preston Noyf end.

Is your sig something to do with what's written on the motorway bridge on the M6? I've always wondered what that was about

 

[TomPNE94]

3 years today since Grayson took over when we were 17th in L1 and looking like a relegation battle. Pretty incredible the job he's done for us. win% of 47.34 is ridiculously good.

 

[mossypne]

Nearly sold our initial Bolton Allocation with the potential for the rest of the stand if we provide our own stewards.

Ben Rhodes has also announced that we've been given the full 7000 at Blackburn but I can't see us selling all of that out.

Was hoping you'd only get 5500 - now I'm gonna have to move back to the Blackburn End for a game

Don't think we'll sell them all. That's like 70% of our home attendances. But it was moved to a 12:30 kick off so that we could get the full allocation.

 

[SF_]

I wouldn't be surprised if we shifted the full 7k to be honest.

 

[TomPNE94]

We've been given another 500 for Bolton but that's our lot apparently. Disappointing cos I think we could have sold 5k

not when the away holds 4500. Great turnout from the nobbers.

Fair point.

 

[SirTomFinney]

I hope we do shift them 7,000 at Ewood.

Seeing West ham fill that stand yesterday, it looked class.

Never been to Ewood Park so ticking two off my list in going to Bolton and Blackburn

 

[SF_]

Only issue is I think it's a 12.30pm kick off, bound to effect numbers.

 

[SirTomFinney]

Possibly. If there is still a very slight hope of play offs then I think we might shift them. See how we get on over next few weeks.

Burnley scrape two successive Lancashire wins to become effectively Lancashire champions already. Preston have two games in hand on everyone.

 

[Muzzle]

Have to say Burnley are the worst of the Lancashire side we have played, if it weren't for Gray, they would be nowhere

Haha.

Bye bye Bolton.

Title decider at Deepdale in a few weeks.

Possibly quite literally in Burnleys case.

NEW SEASON:
Unfortunately we lost two of our dear old Lancashire 'friends' in May, however we did gain another in the form of Wigan Athletic, only 3 teams this season, mini league anyone?

Wigan 3-0 Blackburn (13th August)
Preston vs. Wigan (23rd September)
Preston vs. Blackburn (10th December)
Wigan vs. Preston (18th February)
Blackburn vs. Wigan (4th March)
Blackburn vs. Preston (18th March)

A very small Lancs fixture list this year, but it'll do.

Wigan......P1.W1.D0.L0.GD+3.PTS3
Preston....P0.W0.D0.L0.GD0..PTS0
Blackburn..P1.W0.D0.L1.GD-3.PTS0

 

[SMH]

Could be six points clear by the end of September. Got a gut feeling we'll get our first away win of the season at Deepdale.

No you won't

 

[SMH]

No you won't

The way Grayson sets your teams up will suit us away from home. Plus we're three out of three on TV under Caldwell (five out of five if you included the featured FL games). No idea why I'm so confident mind, just got a good feeling about the game.
