With Grahams new found love for our fans he has had fluffy toilet seat covers fitted for you Jordan when you sit to pee.

Is it made out of the same material he made the cushion for you to sit in your office chair all day? Every time I drive passed you just seem to be there.

Make your own judgement whether to go or not. I didn't go on the Walsall game because the Missus wanted to go to sample her first ever game because of the cheap ticket but I had a gut feeling things would implode after Doncaster, so I'm hardly a superfan. If you want to skip a game or two that's fair enough mate it's your choice but please, please don't do it because the likes of Rankine or BSK told you not to. That is a line that once crossed you will never be respected again. Ever.

Never was or will be effected by others mate but I see where you are coming from.
 
I'm flying over for the jake bugg gig in manc on feb 14th,it's Bournemouth at home on the Saturday.
It's either that or watch Salford at Leeds.
I'm leaning towards a day in Yorkshire at the moment

Shhhhhh people will be telling you you're not fit to be a fan soon.
 
I wish I could be there, but will be next Saturday 🙂

I do not think anyone can tell you what to do, but I always find that looking at the badge (preferably the old one before they put the rubbish shield around it) and I soon forget I am going to have to listen to hundreds of want to be managers who will shout crap and generally bring down the experience. It has worked every time so far, and then quite often I have gone home and wondered why I let it.

As long as we are not losing to stupid goals like we did against Bournemouth last season then I do not mind that the team simply does not have the ability. The Westley games I have seen have not had something so stupid as a square ball across the back that the attacker just needs to run onto and pass into the net. IF that ever happens then Westley can go. (Poor marking I can forgive - I know that has happened)

Hope you decide to go on Jordan, but do it because you want to or there is little point because it will only reinforce your decision not to go on in the future. We can miss supporters for one or two games, but we do not need them putting off long term.

Go because its your club and your club needs you, like it needs everyone at the moment. Not going because it isn't very good at the moment is the easy thing to do. Which is fine if that's what you prefer - its you money and choice after all - but not actively supporting the club right now while times are tough, and moaning about how things are while sat in front of your computer screen rather than getting down there and getting your arse on a seat won't do a single thing to help the club. Not an 'I'm a better fan' argument, before some smart arse levels that accusation at me, just the facts as I see them. The club is in the shit and irrespective of what you think of the manager, it's all hands to the pump time. I think the fact that so many North End fans choose flight rather than fight when the chips are down is what ensures PNE will always be a small club.

This is a tremendous post. Whenever anyone criticises others for not attending, certain people immediately jump on this "super fan" bandwagon bollocks!

Absolute horse-shit! If everybody abandoned ship when we're struggling we wouldn't have a club at all!

Why can't people be honest about it? We're shit at the moment, so certain people will save their money until we start winning again. And yes, I'm sorry that does make you an inferior fan to the die-hards who stick it out through thick and thin. An undeniable fact.

Fair-weather fans who only put their money in when the team are performing well have every right to do so. No argument there. But if we all did the same we'd have gone out of existence in the mid 80's! Another fact for you!

I haven't enjoyed a match for what seems like months, but I'm a Nob-Ender & therefore am used to disappointment. It just makes the victories taste so much sweeter amongst all the dross.
 
I will be on tomorrow , providing it's not called off.

Will only be my second game since I got back home, the last one I saw was the Brentford game where I thought we looked a decent side for most of the match.
 
Anyone still doubting whether they should go on should take a look at the 'One Day At Deepdale' video on PNE Player, and then decide if they are going on or not. This is Preston North End, a real, proper football club, and one day it will get back to where it should be. I remember re-election (just) and woeful cup defeats to the likes of Telford United, Whitley Bay and Kidderminster Harriers. It's been way worse than it is right now, and it will be much better than it is now at some point in the future. Such is the ebb and flow of following a small-but-not-tiny club like PNE. It's time to embrace your inner Nobber, decide that form is temporary, but Nob Endism is permanent at get your arse to Deepdale to help dig us out of the current situation. If fans abandon en masse, we really will have something to moan about in two or three years time! Up The Whites!!

It's been more ebb than flow though !

I stuck with them at the lowest of times... on days when the Kop was like an all-seater, because there were so few on, if the day was warm, lots of people just sat down to watch - there was never a problem with people stood in front of you!

Like everything in life, you get out what you put in... and if you put it in when times are tough, the greater the satisfaction from victory.

Back in those days, I'd look forward and think that some time in the next 60 or 70 years, we'll have our day.

In life-span terms, I've entered my "second-half" as a supporter... and I'm now beginning to think they'd better bloody well hurry up.

Post of 2013....Great stuff. Your club needs you Jordan.
 
I'll give you a reason Jordan. You might just miss one moment. Just one second of brilliance. Alexander's free kick was a great example. I saw that moment with my own eyes. Tomorrow will more than likely be shit..........but you will only know that after the game. We support not for the title victory or the handing over of a major trophy, we would be Manc supporters if that's what we were after, we support for the next moment. Something to acknowledge, something to remember or relay to another. That moment might be tomorrow.

This. Alexanders free kick last season was worth the price of my season ticket alone.

The biggest standout moment of this season so far is Laird's leg break, but Swindon at home was fantastic. I'd hate to miss something like that. I'd also hate to be robbed of how angry I was after that NC game.

Not being funny, but I regard that game as pivotal to our season, just like the Burnley game under Fergie. We have not had the strength in depth to get over these things really, and that is down to the owner unfortunately.
