Doesnt seem to be an active section tonight no Preston boys banner tonight.

Looks like the hellass game took the stuffing out of them...

Yep, not even all the seats are full. Probably about 3k there but they were expecting a full house.

Even at kick off atmosphere seems a lot more muted in general than it has been for even a lot of normal npl games in recent times

Bad media attention does that to people and club.

Their crowds have dropped off this year but i thought tonight would have been huge being the first time they've played an A league team. Maybe it is the bad publicity.

I hope we give Dobson a 10 year contract. He’s got that Newy mongrel in him as well has being so silky

It’s not even the numbers, as I’ve said before, they’re likely to settle back into a numbers more like this in line with their longe term average once the novelty factor wears off for a lot of people. It’s more that they seem less parochial than usual in general

Newcastle look good again with Milligan. Title contenders?

 

[NoMates]

Glory been woeful, I picked them to win but after watching the 1st half looks like it will be another early exit for Perth.

"Newy mongrel" is a great description, he gives it his all. His contribution was hugely under rated last season and I think it is that "mongrel" that means people often overlook his skills.

Hellas’ favourite son scores for Preston

 

[HappyGuus]

PRESTON LEVEL!! 2-2

Big crowd at Bayswater, and I love the blue smoke
