It’s derby day at Ewood Park on Friday evening
Preston North End will be backed by more than five thousand away fans in Friday night’s Lancashire derby at Ewood Park. The Lilywhites head to Blackburn Rovers for the first derby match of the Championship season. North End’s followings on the road have been excellent all campaign, but the short trip to East Lancashire will see the biggest taken yet. Preston were allocated 4,328 tickets in the lower tier of the Brian Douglas Darwen End and sold those out on November 1st.

They were excellent . When they get singing like that and rally the lads through - I read Pottsy’s programme notes, saing how important they are.
