Yes. And the blatant error about them being loud from start to finish.Anyone spot the typo in the penultimate paragraph of the LEP piece? "The Crowd Prosecution Service..." Journalism at its finest.
People have always, and always will discuss PNE on this forum because they're our main rivals.I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, the story in the link or the obsession with some of our fans with all things PNE.
his forum is going downhill rapid…
thats because they use sixfingered typEwriters at LEP.Anyone spot the typo in the penultimate paragraph of the LEP piece? "The Crowd Prosecution Service..." Journalism at its finest.
Totally agree I’m sure we would have sung the same if we had been themI hate the Nobber scum as much as anyone but have to acknowledge that was an excellent away following, albeit to a glamour tie.
I have no real issue with the chanting either; it used to be banter.
Football is oh so sanitised these days.
I suspect most clubs would have sung the same song.
I'd like to think because of Jake and the fact we have a large gay community we could rise above it!I’m sure we would have sung the same if we had been them

Innit, bring back the banana throwing as well.I hate the Nobber scum as much as anyone but have to acknowledge that was an excellent away following, albeit to a glamour tie.

We sing about mosques insteadTotally agree I’m sure we would have sung the same if we had been them
Years ago talking to two people, one not into football and the other a nobber. The neutral asked me about Blackpool as they had heard all about the off field problems. I expressed concern that if things didn't get sorted who knows where we will end up, whether we would even exist. The nobber's reaction? Good, I hope you disappear for good. I said very funny, but you don't really mean that. Yes he did, would be he better than promotion to the premier league he retorted. It just sums up that hatred you mention. On the field fair game, but potential bankruptcy isn't something to wish on anyone.One thing I will say is the Nobbers hate us more than we hate them, of that I'm 100% sure.
Why? Jealousy about our town being a seaside resort visited by millions, the fact we've tasted the Premier League and they haven't, it may go all the way back to that famous day in 1970 when we relegated them and won promotion on the night.
I don't know what it is but they're as bitter as fuck when Blackpool get mentioned.
I'd agree with that @Raging_Bull - I work in Preston and they are literally obsessed by us - a Monday after a defeat for us and they're like kids in a sweet shop!One thing I will say is the Nobbers hate us more than we hate them, of that I'm 100% sure.

Yes a pal of mine who worked as a pub landlord in a couple of Preston boozers could not believe the amount of bitterness he encountered when they learned he was from the Gold Coast, he wasn't even a Blackpool fan either but they'd go on and on calling him a Lasher and Scum at every opportunity until he ended up barring a few of the sad bastards.I'd agree with that @Raging_Bull - I work in Preston and they are literally obsessed by us - a Monday after a defeat for us and they're like kids in a sweet shop!
I actually have worked in Preston for a year or so and I’m fully aware of what their football fans can be like but in my experience the vast majority were just normal people who it was possible to have good banter with until it came to a match day against them then it was a completely different matter.Obviously you haven't had the "pleasure" of working in Prescum for 30 years! Some pretend to be friendly with the banter. Some are downright wind-up merchants who go out of their way to stick the boot in and others are downright nasty. In my experience it's hatred! On another day I'll give you some real life examples that would change your mind! . . . Just one quick example, someone close to me was killed by a nobber and he was actually recorded saying "I've done a Blackpool bastard!"
I've had that experience working there too. I'd definitely say they hate us more than we do them for all the reasons listed above.I'd agree with that @Raging_Bull - I work in Preston and they are literally obsessed by us - a Monday after a defeat for us and they're like kids in a sweet shop!
