Marvellous start to the season last Saturday. Can we continue or happy with a draw?
name ya team.

Preston and Hull City have faced each other 66 times. Preston have won 29 of these meetings, while Hull have won 24. There have been 13 draws between the two teams. The last time they played each other, Preston won 1-0.

 

Think PNE could well be in a relegation fight this season coyh 2 nowt to us

 

1300 travelling so far!!!!

UTT

 

Can’t see anything but a city win.

 

Went last season, we took 1800 ,so much for our new era

 

Cost of living crisis, train is £25 minimum for 1 person Adult ticket is £28, that’s £50 for 1 person…

 

I'll be there again, but its poor support

 

And first time crowds were allowed back.

 

£44 return from Crewe . So I'm driving!

 

Crazy. £44 day out for me before beer and a bit of grub so far can see why numbers aren’t quite upto the standard of what some people deem “good support” I think 1300+ is brilliant and it’ll only go up

 

That's about what our away support is. It'll go up for more interesting away days and if we're regularly winning. Down for dull days out and if the season turns into a slog. The days of taking 2000 or so away regularly are gone for now.

 

Point Taken

 

Well, a bit more optimistic after last week's performance, still a tough game nevertheless. Like last week when I would have been happy with the draw, same against this week, a draw would be acceptable.

However, with the run of fixtures to come in the next few games, 6 points would be a handy cushion to have, so hoping we can come away with all 3.

The same team as last week apart from Allahyar at wing-back, would bring in Elder and move Allahyar to replace Tyler Smith.

 

How far do you get on a train for 25 quid return? Cost me a fiver from beverley to cott and back.
