Can’t believe how many have flooded this board lately and dished out verbal abuse yet go on penisonline say something anti Preston and whoosh your banned straight away.Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak out and remove all doubt.
Do yourselves a favour and bob off.
See you again on the 5th
The mods have a lot to answer for on here as they’ve shown time and time again they are always quick to delete comments or even ban our own posters without hesitation.

They'll all disappear on the 6th, just as they did after we beat them at Bloomfield Rd.
Remember pre season when we were told welcome to the big league, you'll really struggle?
Now they're getting cocky about the game at Dumpdale despite limiting the attendance, selling cheap tickets, buying them for passers-by but still unable to shift tickets.
Desperate.

Shown themselves up again laughing at the phased st sales system that they clearly don't understand, as I pointed out in another thread.
They are led by a clown called JK who pretends to ITK. Claimed inside knowledge of the whole ticket saga.
He was caught out a while back when he claimed he had heard only 150 of the extra 800 we got were sold, actually its was only 150 left.
He had clearly misread avftt or his sources are complete bollocks, his source probably was avftt.
He's at it again recently. (Notice again sats going along with their argument when it was the police not wanting fans nearer the north stand given the trouble, simple as that, no wonder nobbers think that when they have daft pool fans telling them what they want to hear, which just isn't true, I wonder why they only keep him and another guy who don't challenge anything.....)
Got to remember this guy runs their site, when you have a bullshitter at the top hardly surprising the rest are even more clueless.
They love to call pool fans thick yet come on here and cant debate, can't understand basic things like a police decision or how a phased sale works.
They deny reality of the praise we get from other fans saying wer have been the best away support etc they have had, despite proof of posts of them saying it were apparently making it up.
It'll be so funny if we beat them at their place, with all their efforts to gain an advantage, we know they are a team and fanbase that bottle the big occasion, pressure too much for them.

They've had things their own way for too long and they had begun to believe their own hype... reality is kicking in though now and there's plenty of nerves around their end for certain.
They can say what they like about ticket sales and league wins when God was a lad, but they know, and we know that we absolutely mullered them in that first game, and I reckon we've got stronger since then...
I sincerely hope we destroy them and Lowe's on the phone asking Hemmings if he can do another refund!!!!
Preston give refunds everywhere they go

He would know right, as clearly who else would be the go to guy in between the 2 clubs and police negotiating....
We saw at that time against Barnsley, people on the NE side were close enough to throw things at, clearly undesirable in a high profile game.
Mansford said "What that means is that 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."
Once they weren't allowed in any closer to the north stand, we had sold out and clearly the priority anyway goes to us and they can't have any more anyway.
Its very simple.
This is the problem, they got their hopes up thinking they would get more, not understanding the issues, got fed rumours and then thought they got screwed over and went into meltdown with info that's not even accurate.
Causing the whole ticket saga for the game at their place and the pure pettiness of it, I can see a real retaliation at BR next season. They may claim they don't care but wait until, if it happens, 1600 tickets only, for acting 100% like twats.
Blackpool Tickets Sold Out (Confirmed)
Other than the health and safety issues being reversed I don’t see any issues with the allocation? If there is demand for more home tickets why would the club choose not to increase the home support? We have argued this for years when Leeds/Burnley etc. Have filled the Kop at Deepdale and...
"For other big games in the past Lashers have split the stand in this way.
It feels like some of our fans took information they gleaned as 100% confirmed, then got upset when their hopes were dashed.
You may deem it underhand. But, that's how discussions can go. Take away the hyperbole over this situation, what you have is an easy decision for Blackpool to make. More home fans. Rather than more PNE."
This guy managed to get it, bar mentioning the police advice part, but understood about rumours or half truths being taken as fact, their fans then flew off when that false reality didn't come to pass.
You only have to look at the tinpot reaction after that post with the supporters collective demanding retaliation etc.
I hope we don't forger their reaction and punish them for real next season.

But given the petty reaction, if it was me I'd actually retaliate, for real, as we didn't first time, it was the circumstances.
We gave 2200 in a smaller capacity stadium. We know the reaction that's followed.
We know it'll cause a meltdown if we give 10%, people can pretend it won't, but it will.

I disagree it’s just very amusing to hear all this forever in our shadow bla bla bla nonsense when we do what we’re doing as a club in general but especially on the pitch at the moment,why stoop to their level & ban them, I have a good Freind who supports them & he loves this site for the banter & humour,he doesn’t post he just likes a read,granted he does dislike us in general,why deny ourselves of the enjoyment of them being to embarrassed to post when results don’t pan out for them (4 0 etc)I tend to agree with you Jaffa.

I think it's more the pricks like Norfolking Clue White and whoever that forever shadow is. They add zero value. They aren't intelligent or funny. Better off to ban people like this. It's the worst attempt at being WUMs I've ever seen on AVFTT.
I'm genuinely serious when I say this but PNE has lost it's soul as a football club. Derby day was massive for me when I was younger. The way they turned up at Bloomfield Road, very quiet all game and barely a peep (I was in block X right next to them) and went home booing their players just made me lose a bit of that derby day passion. We don't need to discuss how garbage they were on the pitch, we all saw it. And then you come on here, read the shite they come out with about FA Cups in the 1800s and invincibles. It's all a bit tedious, they all have absolutely nothing new to bring to the table. They're a Championship club, struggling to sell tickets in their Championship standard but dull stadium. They're basically waiting for SERIOUS new investment or relegation to League 1. It's as simple as that.
Let them act how they want, PNE Online is the most miserable football forum on the internet so no wonder they come on here. They're a special breed of boring bastards. I've gone past giving a toss about them if I am honest.

Sometimes I think it's a bit tight to focus on one particular opposition fan who's a bit 'special' and cant reply on here.
I was the worst.... it did feel uncomfortable, having a go at an OAP in their 80's just because she got covered in bird shit and called us names.
Remember, this is all a bit of a game....we have a pop at them...they come back and have a pop at us.....it's all tit for tat.....
Really, once this game is over, we shouldn't have any knobbers coming on here.....and for another 6 - 8 months it will all go quiet.
Triumph & Giro come 'on' this site because they can (entertainingly) hold their own.....but some of the others are just abusive or down right boring.....So they get banned.
It's like that scene in Guy Richie's "The Gentlemen".....Where Coach is in the kebab shop with the 4 chavs
"Come on lads...give me a decent reply, give us your best banter"........and we get Norfolk White.....or that OG muppet...
So in the words of 'Coach'

Many thanks for the clarification.
Why?
Because I question some of the nonsense SOME of your fans call facts?
For what it's worth, which isn't much, I think the following is true:
1. You have had a good season on your return to League 1 and clearly have a capable manager.
2. You have a lively fan base, producing a good atmosphere and are also buoyant because you're on your way up.
3. You had every right to reduce the ticket allocation to 2200 from the 3000+ you offered others such as Plastics, Barnsley etc.
4. You would have had no problem selling the 5500 tickets you would usually have been offered.
5. April 5th will be a tough game and unless we're at our best then you may come away with the points.
What I question is SOME of the nonsense spouted by SOME of your supporters. Fans who seriously believe some of the shite they come out with. It's not a problem, we have them too, all clubs do.
So in accepting 1 to 5 above I would also add the following:
1. Most Nobbers happily accept that whilst we have come agonisingly close on a number of occasions, we have not achieved anything of note in 61 years.
2. This makes me all the more proud that in spite of this we still have a good hard core of home and away support. Support which is similar to the clubs around us when in similar positions. In spite of the fact that these other clubs have enjoyed success in the top flight far more recently than ourselves.
3. Talk of 'free tickets' is frankly bollocks and dangerous ground for fans of any club, including yourselves.
4. The capacity for this game is a little below 21000 with segregation etc and we won't sell out. I don't think we would have sold out if it hadn't been on telly either but I cannot find a Nobber who is bothered. It's about being there and supporting your team, however many there are of you.
I hope it's a good game, I hope we win and I hope there's no trouble. All clubs have their dickheads, including us and yourselves. It's no good for either club and no good for the game.
Unless you ban me. Which you are entitled to do, I may occasionally point out stuff which I think smells of bullshit.

Whilst it’s good that you highlighted the above, you lost credibility when you brought the boycott into it. You implied that people stopped going just because we got relegated to league two, I know that wasn’t the case from personal experience, I travelled to away matches but didn’t go to Bloomfield Road until Sadler took over. I have watched us in league two before and would still watch the Pool if we were in the National Leagues, league position had absolutely nothing to do with it, and I think you know that.
So it’s a bit rich to be calling out bullshit when you’ve dished some out over the past couple of days and been a bit of a WUM.
I’d also argue that your fans reaction to the allocation issues were much stronger than ours, which explains my other comments that you called nonsense, it’s all there on PNE online. It seemed like a massive overreaction/conspiracy from your fanbase that wasn’t warranted. Then our allocation was met with elation from your lot, including yourself on earlier threads, what was that about? The vast majority on here seemed to accept that you can allocate what you want and didn’t seem to be that arsed, it was like you’d already won the derby.
I don’t know anything about free tickets and there’s probably some bullshit on here that does need pointing out.
You have done a bit more than that though, so don’t start acting all angelic now, you’ve been on the wind up for the past couple of days!

One hell of an intimidating atmosphere waiting for us....
They seriously type this shit with a straight face...
When has deepdale EVER been intimidating?
Sleepdale will be like a library on 05/04. Worst away fans to come to Bloomfield road along with Fulham, Peterborough and Bournemouth.Fair enough on your away support during the Os.
I set out to be realistic and honest, however some comments really did beg to have the piss taken out of them. Unless the people involved were simply trolling.
As for the allocation and our response to it. I think it is understandable when placed in context. North End always roll out the red carpet for away fans. Fewer clubs these days give away fans the best seats behind the goal; we still do. We charge reasonable ticket prices for away fans and yet have few discounted season tickets for our own fans. So for example a single adult season ticket at North End might cost you £400+ and yet a lad and a dad (sexist I know) at Rovers has cost less than £200. It’s amazing our gates and season tickets sales have held up as well as they have.
We travel to Leeds and they charge £38 and £40 and get a shitty view with shit catering and massive queues because they don’t put the staff on and then they come to us for £24 and get the best seats with full staffing.
When you reduced the allocation in less than pristine facilities with no beer and queues a mile long and we said ‘Enough!’ It finally felt as if they were listening and weren’t taking us for granted.
You lot would probably know more about how that feels than we do.

I met a Plastic mate after the game who had been on with his missus.
He said it was the best atmosphere he’d ever experienced.

Some good points.
The atmospheres have been brilliant and have been praised by many, but many on pne online don't want to accept that despite 'receipts' being posted many times.
The ticket thing has been done a million times, there's no reason Sadler and Co would turn down extra revenue, you only have to look at us maximising revenue at the not so popular 28 quid, 30 on the day.
It was just police advice and we sold out too, so got an extra 800. Pne fans weren't going any closer to the north stand given past issues, so its was simple to allocate them to us anyway. The meltdown was daft, has now led to this tit for tat war.
There probably is some kids on twitter who spout shite but all clubs have them. Will be a few on here but all sites have them.
You've done ok crowd wise, only really risen a bit recently when the new man came in. You've been ahead of us for a good few years and we have lost fans and are behind on having a decent capacity to use. But these things take a bit of time to rectify.
We do alright considering the things we've been through and in some cases the limitations we still have, like that shit east stand.
But we have managed to catch up a lot of the progress you made in all those years above us in just 1 season, which clearly annoys some.
Blackpool as a town has always been a bit of an easy target, but the whole pool fans are thick narrative doesn't add up. A lot of the dregs are other towns idiots, unfortunately.
You only have to look at some of the people who were involved in some of the boycott stuff, some very eloquent and clever people came to the front.
I don't think we'll need them if the rumours are true.What have you lot done with your "RIDSDALE OUT" banners
Not going to challenge most of that. Blackpool the town? I loved it back in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Me and my mates were members at The Palace. Used to bus it in from the other side of the river and hope to meet an accommodating bird. It was always loud, cheeky and a bit brash but people got togged up and knew how to enjoy themselves. I went back with my missus about 3 years ago to an event at the tower and it nearly broke my heart.
However, that's a trip into politics and this is a football forum.

The problem is some bits the tourists tend to see are the worst bits, or bit, mainly the central area.
There's many nicer areas, like round Stanley Park for eg.
It's a bit like everyone coming to Preston and only mainly seeing Ribbleton and areas of Deepdale.
However the front is great, it's the old 1 street back people always mention.
There's a lot of things happening in the town centre and beyond and some good improvements, some can be seen in the new East stand thread I think, some new streets, shop fronts, lots of investment, tree planting etc.
It's on the up, although will take time and will probably still be near the top of certain lists.... but some of it is down to the amount of visitors the town gets. For eg, some petty crime, if you have 18 million people a year coming, lots of them drinking, there will be more crimes. Some of the issues are more deep rooted and involve breaking the cycle of poverty. Some of the issues are made to look, at least in some part, worse by the fact Blackpool has a small boundary, as often the more rural areas are wealthier and may slightly offset some of the less well of inner areas for towns, when it comes to how well off a town is or whatever. Bit here's no denying issues still to be improved.
All towns and cities have similar issues but not many have them on display to visitors as much as Blackpool, so that doesn't help. Just the way it is though, many people have fond memories and then move to the town to escape their issues, but often bring more with them. Thankfully I believe it's reducing and less are leaving to be replaced by new problem people.
But as said many things are in the works to improve things and slowly change perception.

It was 8pm on a Saturday in early September.
20 - 40 years ago it would have been buzzing with people queuing to get into places, all dressed up for a night out.
There were very few people around and the biggest crowd was about half a dozen people near the tower on the front, pissed/spiced out of their minds, stained grey trackies etc.
I'm not having a pop, I'm just saying that I found it quite sad as I had fond memories.

Never going to be like the old days but still. The club scene isn't the same anywhere. The syndicate was one of it not the best clubs in the UK, they replaced that with a car park
