Preston North End v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Ducksworthy]

Where are places to drink for away fans? Also I've had two different people tell me it's easily walking distance and another say I'd need to get a bus from the station. Anyone with any ideas?

Apparently there's a handy Away Guide somewhere on the World Wide Web.

Also The Guild Ale House on Lancaster Road. Looks interesting. Local man used savings to start a pub!

Looks like the AVBW firm will be looked after up there.

Daniel Johnson always looked better than Gardner to me - not just saying that with hindsight. He'll probably cover twice the ground of Jedinak.

1-1 again

We're never going to hold onto a one goal lead so we need to start scoring twice

And Gollini needs to stop gifting goals

1-1  Grealish and 91st minute own goal.

Cant be arsed to predict anymore

so I'm going 1-1 with their equaliser somewhere in 85 -95 minute standing order

Villa bear, as a local the Guild Ale House is alright, I mentioned it on the away guide.  The beer is pretty good, the decor is a little bit loud, but fair play to the guy for starting it up.  If you want the best real ale head for the The Continental, which is a bit out of town, again see the away guide.

I think we are going to twat these 1-1.

[Malandro]

1st minute goal by Preston, a new early goal nightmare scenario is started.

[Clampy]

Another ground I've not been to so looking forward to this one. I predicted 1-3 for the Barnsley game so I'm going to predict 1-1 in the hope that it's actually 1-3.

As for pubs, the 12 Tellers and Grey Friars are friendly, cheap and huge
avoid the New Britannia full of Preston pissed up ninjas
And its a good 1/2 hour walk from train station to the ground

from PNEpolice, they suggest The Sumners, limited parking, but 5 min walk to the ground

Did I dream it, or did I read that we'd sold nearly 6000 tickets for this match?

Nearly 5700 I think.
