Respect

White in Exile

There are often claims that opposition fans do not give PNE the respect we deserve.

Try this for a change:

The Preston fans taunted us with "we're going to Liverpool, you're going to Blackpool", and while on this evidence they could well be going up, I'm still confident that we should be able to gather enough points over the rest of the season to haul ourselves to safety. At least we can comfort ourselves with the thought that were playing one of the top sides away from home, in theory one of the most difficult games of the season, and won't come up against Preston's pace and fluency every week. We'll see how far the Wise revolution has come when we go to Barnsley on Saturday

Re: Respect

Think it's fair to say that every team has it's proportion of idiots and fair minded proper football fans. Good of you to post the balancing view to some of the knobs we've had recently WIE.
 
Re: Respect

Interesting to see that on this site the leeds fans have voted by 81.5% against Wise being made manager
 
Re: Respect

I think that decent football supporters will recognise the achivements of all of the top 3 this season, and we should recognise the work that is going on at the other two (and other sides up and down the leagues)

Leeds fans I have spoken to in person have been very complimentary about what is going on at Preston North End, but perhaps I have been lucky in that regard.

On the subject of the poll I would not put too much stock in that, chances that other clubs have influenced the result. I guess that Leeds get a lot of external posters given their representatives on other boards 🙄

I think you'll find its the other way round.

As for respect for your team, you do deserve respect, behind Sunerland and Luton, you were the best team I've seen this season. On that form you'll go up, just a question of whether you can stay consistant, and keep your best players in January.
 
Re: Respect

Seems it is not just the fans that slag each other off. I was in the Townley Arms in Longridge yesterday chatting with 2 very knowledgable PNE fans when Nuge was interviewed on Sky. Apparantly Leeds players told him after our play off defeat to enjoy playing against Colchester in the 2006 /7 season. This lack of respect was remembered by Nuge on Tuesday night and he openly admitted this in the interview. The grin on Nuge's face at this point would have put a Cheshire Cat to shame - and who could blame him!? So Simmo saying in the LEP that there was no vendetta was way off the mark.
 
Re: Respect

quite a few of the Leeds fans gave Tom Finney a good reception at half-time and later on a few were applauding Danny Pugh when he was substituted later on - even though they were 3-0 down - good to see.

Leeds fans will have respect for anyone with the footballing stature of Tom Finney, might never have played for Leeds, but the least he deserves was our applause.

And Pugh was a fans favourite at ER, purely because he came in the move that saw Smith go the other way, so we pretended he was better 😀.
 
Re: Respect

I didn't know about the Colchester comments to David Nugent. Makes me laugh when you look at some of the overweight, overpaid, unfit and arrogant players that showed nil respect for their support on Tuesday.

If I had been a Leeds fan I would have wanted the lot sacked for a complete lack of commitment.

I am sure that Wise will soon have a great number off the payroll and playing in lower level football in weeks to come.

Re: Respect

I am in the Townley again for a while this evening from about 7.10pm if anyone wants to say hello to a "knowledgeable" (probably not my most accurate description!) old uitbv4etyf like me. Will be propping up the bar if theres room there, with my usual pint of Tetleys bitter in a barrel glass and wearing my light blue PNE fleece. Need to be careful if I sit down though cos that hill from bus stop to pub is backside scrapingly slippy after dark. Someone said its caused by frost but I aint too sure! 😀
