Preston North End supporters’ groups have sent a message to their fellow fans as flag displays lie in the balance.
A joint statement from PNE Online and North End Sould read: “We would like to thank the vast majority of PNE supporters who are helping us to create a new atmosphere at Deepdale to support the team. Members of PNE Online and our friends at North End Soul are spending hours each week ensuring that our fans display can grow and have the best impact possible. As fans we have been overwhelmed with the generosity of our supporters and local companies in getting this off the ground.
"Sadly, despite repeated requests by the club and ourselves, a very small minority continue to undermine our efforts. This includes taking the more expensive flags from deepdale, taking flags off poles, abandoning flags in the stand and putting half full plastic beer pots in our dedicated bins. "These are difficult times for us all and we cannot keep asking supporters to donate their hard-earned money towards displays or look to have more flags across Deepdale as we would like to do in the future. We don't want to involve the authorities and start having to challenge those who are ultimatley stealing from their fellow fans.
“Unless this stops, we either do so or we will have to remove all the flags and review if we can continue.”
