Club website?
Sky Sports fixtures haven't been announced yet for that weekend so don't expect any announcement until then.
I'd say there's a good chance of it being on Sky, two teams chasing for the play-offs etc. Villa play Derby that weekend so that should be on the telly but don't rule out ours being switched to a Monday night.

Despite the result, I for one thoroughly enjoyed the day out for the FA cup at Sheff Utd. I expect us to win this time though and am hoping to be able to go again this time.
I can't see it myself....

Tottenham Vs Watford already on Sky that night, so Friday night or Saturday evening is more likely.
Tickets still not on sale for this game, not really an issue... but Sky still not announced their fixtures for that weekend. Saturday tea time would be decent as there's a train back from Sheffield to Preston at 20:32. No cheap train tickets but more flexibility with which trains you get, costs £35.60, then deduct the relevant railcard discount.

Last few times i've been to Sheffield my tickets haven't been checked once. Not at Preston, on the trains, Manchester or Sheffield. Still wouldn't risk not paying mind
It's gonna be Fulham v Sunderland and Middlesbrough v Millwall that weekend. I guess they could still add one more but I doubt it.
You may or may not be correct but as someone that said we could never improve on Grayson as a manager, I personally, shan't believe a word of it 🙂
Fabulous effort at another thread derail. Bravo. As someone who said we needed a 'talisman' like Owen Coyle I'd button your lip buddy. He was last seen being fired off by the mighty Ross County.
Our home form has been junk under AN as has our goalscoring in general. I know you love to gloss over those kinda facts. Funny how 11th was failure. But 10th isn't.

Neil is the talisman obviously 🙂 We'll review the points total at and league position at the end of the season Mr 'we're lucky to be in this league'🙄
we can review now. We did not get relegated under grayson. Which you said we would. You said anything lower than 6th is failure. AN is currently failing then.
You should be starting 'Neil Out' threads. Like the gazillion threads about grayson you posted last season. And the year before. Just be thankful Grayson's signings and years of steady squad building here ensured the squad could still get results despite AN's very predictable, goal dry 4231 setup,

yeah I'll admit I panicked under graysons tenure when it got really bad BUT my point was ALWAYS he'd done as much as he could and a better manager could get more out of this squad. I also predicted we'd improve under Neil .... I haven't fallen asleep at Deepdale since Grayson left 🙂 I also can confidently predict we'll finish with more points this season than last 🙂 My end of season prediction for this season under Neil was 5th - 8th which is well documented mung chops ...
All in all we could expect more than Grayson's dire shite and Neil will continue to prove you wrong 🙂
In our last twelve home games we have averaged one goal a game. AN talks a good game. But the fact is we had much more attacking intent last season. Goalies are regularly leaving deepdale without having to make a proper save.
The rigid belief in 4231 and team selection of late is a big issue. We have one of the easiest run ins of all the top ten sides. So there can be no excuses. Last two defeats don't exactly fill me with confidence AN has the answers. We have been relying on other teams messing up for far too long.
Even if we had won all of our last six games last season we still would not have got sixth place. That's how difficult it is to make up ground at this stage of the season.
