What's missing?

I think he was being quite fair. no one is saying he’s a better fan but the fact you admitted that you would buy a season ticket if we got to the prem makes you similar to a Blackburn fan - a plastic.

Not read the reply from @Final Stand, if indeed he has replied, however, with him currently living in Cornwall as he stated, getting match tickets for Deepdale is very very easy whilst outside the top division.

However, once we get there - if ever! - then they will most certainly become harder to source, especially if there are 3 or 4 of you wishing to sit together hence it is sensible to buy a Prem ST to guarantee your seats, even if you only use it half a dozen times due to extreme location. A plastic is local support that glory hunts then disappears when time are hard. I doubt living Cornwall and attending games as and when makes FS a "plastic", it makes him, imo, a diehard with that trek here and back.

I have had a ST since 1981 and this season, I have missed 5 home games. Does this make me plastic? I was one of the 900 at Bradford though and in the 5k v Hull in the next round. I have my Norwich ticket, too.

Stoke - work at 2200 so watched it on TV in order to make work on time.
Rovers - overslept, woke up at 1540.
WBA - overslept, woke up at 1946.
Fulham - ill with flu.
Luton - ill with flu.

Final Stand - top respect from myself for that trek.

Re Rovers, I think the same applied to most of our team!

Yes, it failed me for the Rovers game and for WBA, I set it, without my glasses on, for 1720 instead of 1820. When it went off at 1720, I simply rolled back over for that extra hour with the plan being up, shower, dress and out. I obviously didn't wake up an hour later, not the 1st time I have overslept and missed footy, gigs, etc.

Agreed
Plenty who support Liverpool and united share a season ticket from no other reason than it’s dead mans shoes
another we slowly accrue is loyalty points
pretty pointless pardon the pun for us but if you are a city or Liverpool supporter essential if you want to get some away and champions league tickets which again is why some buy a season ticket

Thanks JD, just an ordinary North Ender, who would love to see deepdale hosting premiership fixtures, a stadium full with existing and new North Enders.

Those fans are still there, they have just got totally fed up at being let down year after year, plus the cost of going on north end is well to expensive!!!

So you’d like us to reduce prices but spend more money on the squad?

Sounds like RM are working you too hard. At least your trips up here are about to cease.
 
Proven quality in the final third and off the bench.

There's no secret, that's what usually gets teams promoted in the end.

I heard the night night staff are moving down to Preston at the end of January. What they'll think of Dingle Dick, I can't begin to imagine. On saying that, he'll probably be more subdued until he gets his feet under the table.

We still have to travel there during the night, to open up, unload and then clear equipment from the yard. Still awaiting the re-pick, see where that leaves us.

I am not missing the residents parking!!!

I don't know how true it is, but I heard that the local residents do it deliberately. Apparently, they're pissed off with the noise and there's even been accusations of cars being bumped. On the flip side, there have been occasions when the wagon has been unable to gain access. The local police refuse to get involved.
 
Sorry, I'll get back on topic. I agree with Chartley, although I haven't seen enough of Bayliss to form an opinion. On saying that, I don't think many of us have.
