Matchday Help Required

[stanhope86]

I know its a bit early but I see tickets are now on sale, every year myself and 3 friends pick a neutral game of the Christmas break for an away day. This year we are doing the Preston v Aston Villa match on the 29th December. Could do with some advice off you guys on the below.

1. Where is best to get tickets in the ground, we like to be in with the hardcore fans where we can have a sing and sample the atmosphere at its best.

2. Where is best for pre match drinks, we will be arriving by train at 11 so will have plenty of time to sample some beers on the way to the ground.

Any advice will be greatfully received.

If you want singing sit at the back of the Town End

It's a while since I've pre-drunk but I've been reliably informed the Moorbrook on North Road is a decent boozer.

1. There is a (main) ticket booth located outside/underneath the Tom Finney Stand (the long side), next door to the club shop. There is another ticket office underneath the Invincibles Pavilion, located at the end of the stand facing the end of the Town End Stand. It may be advisable to book in advance and collect at the main ticket booth.

2. Pre-match drinks - if you plan a route through the town centre, starting from the town square (the "Flag Market" if you ask) and head down Friargate in the direction of Deepdale. Pick a selection of pubs along Friargate and you'll be en route to Deepdale.

The ground is 30-minute walk from the centre, or a brisk 8 minutes in a taxi - the best option!

I usually drink along Friargate ( Black Bull, Greyfriars, The Sun etc ) and then i get a taxi to the ground which only costs about a fiver .....

Atmosphere at Deepdale can be a bit hit and miss at times , but Villa should bring a few thousand , so it should generate a good atmosphere on that day !!

Sit on the Town End - That is the Home End...............

If you are neutral, then your best bet is to get tickets in the away end. Seriously.

Firstly, this would mean applying to AVFC for tickets and secondly, they will, more than likely, sell out their allocation to seaon ticket holders and club members.
