Doctor FinnBarr Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'd say The Mad Ferret up opposite the university is the best! My mate raves about it and he's into all that, only been in once for a burger myself. Either that or The Warehouse which has a rock floor! Thanks for that bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussAsia Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 To be honest Nobber your well off the mark on a number of points. Its a "high-risk match" according to Paul Elliott (PNE football Intelligence Officer) if 2,000 or more away fans come). As Hearts claim they will have upto 6,000 fans there, its "mega-high-risk" !!! Hearts will have nowhere near 6000 at this match.. half that if we are lucky.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trago13 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hearts will have nowhere near 6000 at this match.. half that if we are lucky.. I agree, I would expect 1-1.5k. Where has the 6k figure came from??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire_Lou Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Lou, or any other resident of Preston for that matter, on the off chance of me and the Mrs being sober enough to go out on Saturday night, are there any decent rock bars about the centre? We're staying in the Ashwood if thats any help. The Ferret for live music & food, The Dog & Partridge (biker pub) for beers then the Warehouse for dancing. Post-Warehouse is The Old Dog. Some sights in there! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire_Lou Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We're staying in the Ashwood if thats any help. Just a heads up; I had to google that place & seen its on Fishergate Hill. Perfect for the train station but I didn't actually know people stayed in those places other than 'emergency council' accommodation so have your wits about you...

The Shed Floodlight Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Nobber in peace here... Train station to Sumners is about 30-40 minutes walk... To be honest the Sumners is shite. In fact a large percentage of PNE fans have stopped going in its that bad. Head to Friargate, (you will get served in colours, this is hardly a high risk match) cheap pints in the greyfriars, plenty of real boozers round as well with local brewed stuff. My favourite boozer is the old black bull, top place and fully recommended. Other good uns about Friargate are dog and partridge, Britannia inn, lamb and packet and the black horse... if you're a bit of a tit and fancy a 'bar' instead then church streets your destination were you get yer standard food places etc. City centre to the ground is about a 15 minute walk. To be honest Nobber your well off the mark on a number of points. Its a "high-risk match" according to Paul Elliott (PNE football Intelligence Officer) if 2,000 or more away fans come). As Hearts claim they will have upto 6,000 fans there, its "mega-high-risk" !!! "The Greyfriars" is a good pub but no longer cheap anymore (and too far away from the ground). If Hearts fans want to drink in town try the other Witherspoons - "The 12 Tellers" still a fare way from the ground - but closer than Greyfrairs. - No colours allowed on match-days though. As for the Sumners, PNE fans stopped going in there (in big numbers) - when it became the "official away fans pub" - after the Royal Garrison closed. Most home fans who want to drink close to the ground go in Deepdale Labour Club. If your in colours and getting turned away from city centre pubs, the plod WILL round you up and nice DC Elliott and his boys in blue will esscort you either direct to the ground - (or if its before 2pm) or to The Sumners. not be 6000 Hearts, at this mate. poss the same as last time around 2000 - 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 not be 6000 Hearts, at this mate. poss the same as last time around 2000 - 2500 The total attendance at the game in 2006 was just over 3,000 and there weren't an awful lot of home fans at the game. There does seem to be more interest this time round, so the higher end figure you mention above will probably be not far off the mark. Was a good day out last time, other than being herded to the stadium. Just hope the weather is similar this time round, was a hot day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancashire_lad Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Sun on Friargate is a Celtic pub so that's amusing. And just down from the Sun (Irish/Celtic pub) on the corner is the Lamb & Packet (that use to be the Loyalist/Rangers pub - although I think the Huns have moved to the New Welcome Inn now?)

Don't know, think if the demand was their they'd get all 6k but as I said will be around same as last time, if the game had been in say a Europa League tie then 6000 would prob get shifted no problem. as we could've taken that amount to Anfield for Liverpool game. where is Friargate in Preston??

Friargate is very close to the centre of Preston and about 5 mins walk from the train station. At the one end you have the Greyfriar (Witherspoons) pub, the Dog & Partridge, Black Bull - and at the other (the University End) The Sun, O'Neils, Lamb & Packet and a whole host of other (mainly student / music) pubs.
