1. Favourite North End home game memory - Birmingham play offs 2001.
2. Favourite North End away game memory - Burnley 2-0 Keane and DJ. Probably not the most exciting choice but definitely the best celebrations I’ve been involved in when Keane scored.
3. Favourite North End player ever (Only pick one!!) - Pearson
4. Favourite North End manager - Moyes
5. Favourite North End kit (Except for this seasons away as I know we'll all pick that one) - don’t really have one, probably one of the yellow ones.
6. Most disappointing moment for you as a North End fan - Colchester.
7. What made you support North End - didn’t have much choice, my entire family do
8. First North End game - no idea, I was less than 2 years old, first away game was Bury we won 3-1 in 1999 I think
9. Who did you go with to your first North End match? - dad and grandad
10. Who do you go with to watch North End now? - home games family, away games mates
 
Mine are

1. The playoff second leg against Birmingham with the whole Trevor Francis debacle when it went to penalties. I'd never seen a penalty shootout in person before and I just remember the whole stadium was bouncing
2. Leeds 4-6 Preston. I'd started university the weekend before and my dad wanted to go to the game so I missed a night out with my new Uni mates to watch North End. I remember texting one at half time when we were getting battered saying why did I come to watch this rubbish. Ended up being the best away game I've been to - Little did I know my wife was at the same game in the Leeds end ha! I like to remind her this occasionally
3. Paul McKenna for me - Always liked the way he played when I started watching North End. Always stuck with me all these years later and whenever I need to create a username I always put 16 in it because of him. Its just sorta stuck since being a kid - weird
4. David Moyes - I remember being heartbroken when he left us to go to Everton. Always liked him as he was in charge when I first started watching North End and I still like to see him do well today at West Ham
5. Home shirt with Baxi on from 2000-2002. Plain white shirt with a collar. Mines long gone now but I always kept my dads, its the only North End shirt I remember him having - I'm 30 later this year and its still miles too big for me!
6. Got to be the playoff final against West Ham - I really thought it was our year. I cried after the game, the only time I've ever cried at footy. I was also gutted after we lost in the playoff 2nd leg against Sheff United. When walking out there was a lad similar age to me crying - I just remember patting him on the shoulder saying we'll get there next season
7. My dad just starting taking me when I was really young and its stuck
8. I was really young but my dad said it was Colchester at Deepdale and we won!
9. My dad
10. I'd like to say my dad but he's not into it as much these days so when I go to watch North End I tend to go alone these days. I'll also try and tie in away games with old Uni mates around the country and go with them to a game

PNE v Wolves, this had everything. Goals, Atmosphere- in and out of the ground.
PNE v Swindon PO final- say no more.
Brian Mooney- midfield maestro.
David Moyes, if we had pushed that little bit further in supporting the manager, who knows.
BAXI red and blue away kit.
Travelling all the way from Berlin to watch us get beat of Wycombe in PO final.
I am from Preston, I follow PNE. That's how it was when I was growing up.
Telford in the cup, things could only get better.
Step dad
Army Veteran mates/old school mates. Band of brothers.

never too little once they can sit........my birth kids both went before they were 2.......

where do you sit if you now go on alone ?

He's 6 months at the moment.
Tends to be away games I go to alone mostly - Ones that aren't too far from me (Yorkshire clubs).

If I did Deepdale I'll go on the Finney but tend to move around between the stands.
In my 20+ years supporting North End I've never sat in the Shankly so I'm hoping they split the stand again in the future so I can go in to try

1. Randomly, Stoke pre-season 2016, first time I took my eldest daughter on, sun was out, just a happy day out, not so much a footballing memory as a family one.
2. Wembley. Really nothing more to say, incredible.
3. Has to be Gregan.
4. Tough, Grayson, just. For the promotion.
5. Ribble Valley Shelving.
6. Colchester.
7. It runs in the family. My grandad played in North End youth teams as a lad.
8. My dad informs me it was Gillingham at home, not sure what season.
9. My dad.
10. Usually alone, sometimes with my eldest daughter, occasionally with my father in law.

agree 6 months is too young....

If you get in the Shankley the other PNE fan will be Liberation !!!

I did Deepdale from East Yorkshire for 8 seasons - saturdays only - had dinner at my mums; took her to the match with my eldest kids, went back to hers for tea and got back 'home' at 11pm. great days IF the M62 wasnt blocked !

Love this.
I want him to support North End, Wife is a Leeds fan and former season ticket holder so I've got competition. Its hard to compete with Leeds as they are in the league above now and on TV most weekends. Got him a PNE kit though and a PNE teddy in his room so that's a start

Leeds dont need any more fans - we need all we can get !!!

convince the wife it will be character building for him to get used to failure and not always expect success.... she'd be doing him a massive favour!
 
1. Favourite North End home game memory- PNE 2-0 Derby (2005). Think this was the first time I’d experienced a full house at Deepdale and the whole day just felt magical. The weather was glorious, the atmosphere was buoyant and the ground erupted when Nuge poached a goal early in the first half. It felt like the natural culmination of a terrific season.

2. Favourite North End away game memory- Birmingham 1-2 PNE (2009). One of the first North End away games I went on with my mates. I think our late season surge, the tortuous nature of the match itself (red cards and a comeback), Wallace’s sublime free-kick and the pandemonium following it all combined to produce an unforgettable away day.

3. Favourite North End player ever (Only pick one!!)- Nuge, despite his disappointing return. Other than KBD himself, probably the main catalyst for our transformation once Pa Broon departed. Electric player.

4. Favourite North End manager- Billy Davies. Never been so much fun and so rewarding to support PNE.

5. Favourite North End kit (Except for this seasons away as I know we'll all pick that one)- The navy blue away kit with the luminous BAXI sponsor circa 97/98/99. Probably because it was my first shirt.

6. Most disappointing moment for you as a North End fan- Relegation in 2011. Truly felt like the end of an era. West Ham defeat a close second.

7. What made you support North End- My grandad really. Took me on my first game (I think) when I was about 5 or 6. Remember standing near the top of the Finney and being completely awestruck by the ant-like players far below on the turf, the whole scene bathed in the glow of the floodlights. No going back after that.

8. First North End game- Almost certain it was Doncaster at home in the Cup, either 96 or 97. We won 3-2.

9. Who did you go with to your first North End match?- Grandad

10. Who do you go with to watch North End now?- Rarely go on now to be honest as I don’t live in Preston anymore but when I do, it’s usually to the fixtures dotted in and around London with a few lads from back home.

7. What made you support North End - I'm footy mad and from Leyland, there was never going to be any other choice!
