Preston North End - Sat 24th April 2010 - 3pm

[Hazzman]

I can't understand why Preston would want to refuse the opportunity to make more money and sell more tickets as it appears some time this week, our current allocation will be sold out. If it's unreserved, I am pretty sure the stand can only be something like 85% full.

BM, problem at Bramall Lane was that tickets were available on the day. At least here it's all-ticket.

That wasn't the problem at all. The problem was that some idiots working for that joke of a club decided to operate a 'sit where you like' policy in the away end despite knowing it would be almost full. The fiasco was exacerbated by the fact that not one of the stewards had the first idea what they were doing.

As my ticket has a seat number on it, I think it would be safe to assume seating is reserved.

Sadly not. Do you not remember last season? Or, erm, this season?

I'm thinking of getting to the ground early to go to the National Football Museum.
Has anyone been before? Any good?

Very good. Give yourself as much time there as you possibly can (opens at 10). Admission is free too.

For those that don't know, this is the last chance to see the museum collection in its current location. It's due to close at the end of the month in readiness for its move to Manchester.

I bought mine yesterday afternoon. I was told there were less than 300 left.

Good idea - but won't work. The museum closes shortly before kick-off.

We're going to have to kill him.

OK I'll bring the barbed wire; you bring the lamppost. I love it when a plan comes together.

That is a picture of a bloke who was paying the consequences of trying to protest against some Hells Angels. They taped him to a tree just after they had all pissed on him.

 

[Motown Fox]

Handy reminder not to piss off the Hells Angels .....

Ever!!
