Tonight. Old rivalry Preston vs Blackpool in the 'Capital one cup'. Div 1 Preston scored the winner with 4 minutes left and Preston fans invaded the pitch and ran at Blackpool.

Nice to see hooligans are still alive and kicking.

hardly hooligans, far from it! Preston fans are friendly, they just got over excited.

I'm sorry to say I didn't, I'm only 21 so I didn't really live through the "dark old days", what exactly went on?

[epsomraver]

You wouldn't make silly  statements about Preston fans if you had.

[Northern Cottager]

Just been at the Preston game. Unbelievable atmosphere.

Blackpool fans were silent most game until thy got a few corners. Pitch invasion was half arsed but half entertaining too.

Let's just say PNE's 'finest' were usually less than friendly when it came to the long road back to the station.

Been visiting deep dale since about 95 and never seen much trouble, great bunch. My dad and uncle been going on since the 'dark old days' and never reported much negative back apart from maybe poor stadium and John Beck long ball tactics?

Can only quote from my own experiences from the late eighties (e.g. when we won 4-1 on the plastic was one occasion), and maybe your dad and uncle were on the coaches or car.

I'll let others say about 70/71 (was it?), as that was before my time, but although not on the same level as Burnley (who are top of the neanderthals from that part of the world), Preston were not always angels as a whole.

From the mid-nineties onwards it doesn't surprise me that you haven't seen much trouble, because football grounds as a whole have been much more sanatised since then.

Quite odd to hear but Burnley doesn't surprised me, I went to Burnley vs Bolton last year (couldn't make it last week because my mates were busy) but it's always a great game but Burnley fans are scum bags.

I was at uni in Preston a few years ago.... Let me tell you they are not friendly in the slightest.... They hate burnley with a passion and there is ALWAYS trouble in that game.... Blackpool is another big rival and their should have been more police present to stop things like this happening.

[Burt]

Burnley view Preston as an irritant more than anything else. The team they have a real problem with is Blackburn.

Hope the steward was ok.

[fulhamfever]

I was at the game to last night. Heck all the Stewards and police had to do is form a line between the two halves of the pitches.

[epsomraver]

Yeah great idea so they have two sets of thugs coming at them front and behind fp.gif

[Northern Cottager]

Before the game a train from Blackpool was sent back full of fans who had caused a lot of damage, the away end was wrecked and some cars on route to the ground set on fire.

The steward is fine but was treated for a shoulder injury at the ground.

[Putney]

Preston is such a horrible place. Spent many a miserable moment waiting at Preston station for my connection. Also Deepdale is the only ground where I couldn't finish my beer because it was so vile. Once was a steward at a Burnley vs Preston game. Wasn't trampled on by a horse so some success.

Mate I rather pay £190 a month in rent then pay £900 a month in rent living in London get me.
