Preston is a City although personally I wish we were still a town …….
Years ago we were always known as a market town.
There's several definition of an Official City .
That latest accepted one is just a b.s. / Govt.-Grant-qualifying thing .
Even size-wise much tinier than Preston - Lancaster - is a City. The reasoning is that - they have Cathedral. ( Saint Peter's )
Preston's a town, really .
Hey, it made Swansea change it's name ....

This all day long. I am getting mightily fed up with others like other clubs commentators, Sky TV and now allegedly fans of other bloody clubs telling us what we should expect and appreciate well personally I bloody don’t. I can’t speak for everyone but I know plenty that feel the same way. That wendy fan (if he exists) presumably watched that utter shite passing as professional football last night and any normal fan of any other club would be laughing at how crap we are. I’m not fooled one bit, either sort the club out or make way for someone that can and will. It’s getting desperate when you are making opposition fans up to put us in our place, like we are idiots. That time has well and truly come to an end no one buys the poverty stricken little club crap anymore.
I didn’t read your lecture, heard it all before many, many, many, many, many times before. Now as Billymac says go and worry about the state of your own club.
Literally, the place was poor when PNE came there early on.
As in- a flipping right old-fashioned dump that last looked reasonable when Chris Waddle wore his hair like Linda McCartney.
The realism is every time we get close the money disappears and we downgrade the signings after selling players. Every club of similar size to us in the area has been in the top tier bar us. THATS THE REALISM.
I look forward to you having the biggest budget in L1 again next season.
I find you odd to be honest the point is if your club is in such a damned state shouldn’t you be worried about that rather than us. Also trust me we will be a League 1 club before long too because we sure as hell aren’t going in the other direction. Established championship club my big toe, who the hell would be satisfied with that for decades at a time, not one other club, not one so don’t expect us to be either. I’m am bored and bloody fed up with watching clubs like Bolton, Wigan, Burnley and more recently Luton with a smaller crowd and budget come from non league to premiership whilst we still wring bloody hands and whine. Get lost just get lost you have no right to preach to us.

Well said. Sums it up in a nutshell. The original post is an insult to the intelligence of the fans at this club.
Don't let him wind you up Joan, I'm confident that this poster an an ulterior motive for being here. Don't take him on.
I know I shouldn’t but I’m so flippin passionate about the club being it’s absolute best, it really gets on my last nerve when our own fans shrug shoulders at acceptance of nothingness whilst every other buggar outside the club tells us we should be fine with it. I don’t see the point in PNEFC if that is all there is, where is the love, the passion, the fight, the winning and sporting mentality, it’s sad, very sad.
It's an interesting post.
Last season I certainly would've been in the camp of not understanding why Lowe was getting so much flak based on what he was producing as the squad in final third was nothing special at all so top half for pretty much the whole season was decent even if the long spells without scoring weren't great.
This season though I do think there should be more expectation based on the Millar and Osmajic signings alone. The fact up to very recently Lowe wasn't even starting them regularly is one bone of contention.
The incredible start was never going to be maintained, there's no one on this forum giving Lowe stick he can't keep up with Leicester and Southampton as that is wholly unrealistic.
Think fanbase has a right by now to expect more the dismal home performances on other in last few months. Leeds was a quality match but I think deep down people knew it wouldn't be backed up and it wasn't.
Ultimately though Lowe is just a pawn in this. I don't think people criticise ownership for not spending money beyond their means. They do need to get criticised when it comes to a January and nothing much happens at all when team is in a promising position. That said I wouldn't give another penny to Lowe as he's shown he dosen't really have idea of how to consistently fit flair players into final third which is one way of getting out of this division the right way.

You just massively overspent in that era when you had that strikeforce of Jordan Rhodes, Fletcher, Hooper, Forresteri and George Boyd.
Had to get up in those years (as Carvahal was pretty decent manager) and the play off chokes were a slow death back to league one.
Exactly far to much Realism for a fan of another club, that gathered all that from 90 minutes of Football. Its not like a Lasher, that due to rivalry keep an eye on what's going on. Its meant to be a fan from the other side of the Pennies. From 90 minutes of football, he felt the need to make an account, and reword everything Riddler puts in his Statements. Even this bit "Your owner appears to be chucking in cash to the limit of what is permitted under FFP rules". I couldn't tell you what any other clubs owner is putting into their club or if the books are being balanced in line with FFP.
I want to also point out, no fan starts a post with a hated slang term for their Club. Sheffield Wednesday fans prefer their full name or Wednesday. The more I read it, the more convinced I sussed it straight away. Its someone from within PNE, Talk of other Clubs Budgets is a certain person at the clubs way of telling us, we should be grateful. The talk of not having a rich owner, erm they're right, we have many now, but technically not as its a trust.
I would say if this is who I think it is, I would say you never been popular, I would of thought that would of been clear from the Train back from Brantford just after he joined and the PNE fans where singing Anti him songs and got a shock when he stud up. And not been popular at any club he's touched.
Shouldn’t you lot be concerned about relegation with your massive crowds rather than posting on an opposition forum giving it Billy big bollocks?

Nice one Joan. 🙂
If there’s no ambition, then what’s the point?
Apparently “big” clubs like Sheff Weds have a right to be ambitious but we don’t!
Try telling Luton, Bournemouth and Brentford that.
JK is the Boss, Big Admin. I think you will find he is more trusting with Personal details, than someone has been related to PNE. As he has said many many times over the years, specially in the years our Rivals on both sides had owner issues, he wouldn't share user details unless compelled to do so by a Judge. He also keeps his moderators to these rules, so I find your accusation against the forum owner insulting. Leave your apology for JK and the Forum Moderators at reception on the way out. Watch for the door, its windy and it will slam shut.

That won't happen with this forum but I can't speak for yours. If you don't like it on here then feel free to piss off back to your own forum (assuming you're not PNE) and log off this one.
