Clearly not Gary…I can promise you I know more about what happened than you do.
In fact you seem remarkably ill informed about the situation.

They initially announced that it was unsafe to house fans in that side of the East stand and stated that it was the police that had made this decision. Fair enough, makes perfect sense given the issues from the North this season.
They then put further tickets on sale to home fans. So the police have just decided that it’s fine now to have fans from both clubs in the same stand? That doesn’t really make much sense.
I think if they’d just come out and said that they were waiting to see if the home demand was there for the tickets then there wouldn’t have been any issues.
if you sold out against us then we could have no complaints about 2000 allocation. if we get thst amount and you have 4000 empty seats (likely), then we have a right to moan.I agree that you should have been given more tickets but had things been the otherway round and the game had been at Deepdale first and we gave you half as many tickets to Blackburn a couple of weeks prior would you want your club to give us the full allocation? I doubt it, there would have been cries on here to reduce the number of tickets given to us also.
It’s actually fitting they name a stand after a Liverpool legend seen as their fans are Liverpool fans tooIf it kicks off on the Liverpool Legend Kop it will be down to one imbecile only....
I am amazed that the plod are allowing Nobbers to re-allocate where they sit, to be directly alongside the away support in a local derby?
Should be fiesty!
No it was police advice.
Chief executive Ben Mansford said of the Preston game: “The police, who we ask to help us manage the threat of any disorder and risk, have been very clear that this is a high-risk fixture, as everyone would acknowledge, and they do not feel comfortable there being more than 2,200 Preston fans in the stadium.”
The Police concerns were raised following the Barnsley game.View attachment 9609
No mention of Police concerns there.
