Do you genuinely think he’d be commenting about our yellow kit which was released 12 months ago as if it’s just been released.

He’s clearly talking about the fact he’s gone on holiday and seen a fan in the same resort as him - which I don’t really think is an issue and is clearly a joke which didn’t mean to become public but if you honestly believe he was posting about the kit you will believe anything

I think it's more likely him and the players have had banter over the season about a shirt that divides opinion, rather than complaining about a Preston fan being near him on holiday. And that was my thought before I even saw his explanation.
 
He was clearly cracking a joke about spotting a pne fan and hoping he wouldnt bother him on his hols

Then had a rush of blood to the head, posted it

Then had another rush, deleted it, and will now be shitting his pants and ruined his holiday

Happy hols captain fantastic 🤪
 
He would have been better making the issue about being bothered on holiday.

Yes a none issue.

But imagine slagging off your work uniform on a public platform, it wouldnt sit well with your employer.
 
Ha ha, my brother let me know about this nonsense tonight!

So, this is definitely much ado about nothing but as the PNE fan “papped” by the club captain, I thought I ought to comment on my experience of meeting Whiteman, out of fairness to him.

I didn’t know he was at the hotel until he approached me having spotted the shirt (which isn’t hard), I was a bit surprised but obviously pleased to meet him and his young family. I was with my wife, two young sons, and my parents. Ben helped me up some stairs with our pram then we had a chat on various subjects PNE and a bit of golf, then he was happy to have some pictures with us and we went our separate ways. I thought, and still do think, he seemed a sound, down to earth bloke.

I didn’t speak to him again during our stay but my mum did when she was with my youngest and he said he had been very pleasant to them both too during that short interaction.

The timing of the social media post is a bit odd, because that photo can only have been taken on Wednesday last week - I only wore the hi-vis monstrosity once…! Not that I should feel the need to explain myself, but they were practically giving them away in the end of season sale and I thought it would do for hols!

Obviously, Ben’s post was meant as a private Instagram post and either it was a joke about the garish kit or fans of your team being at your hotel, but given the nature of our interaction and the timing of the post, it’s difficult to take offence either way and I’m much more interested in what he and his team can do on the pitch next season.

I'm offended by you not being offended by his post.
 
Simple solution to all of this. Have Whiteman announce this seasons away or third kit on his socials.

"Ah its an absolute classic lads 👍"

Everybody laughs, we all move on, we all wait for it to be £15 on the Castore shop in April 2027.

Pretty sure everyone has moved on already to be fair.
