Only in your opinion............Dont go fishing Ribbles a bit flooded at the moment

Nah, excellent flood defences in the City of Preston.

If what the EU ruling means that football is treated like any other workplace there is a way around it.

Club/Player signs a contract that has a clause that if either side breaks it early then a sum of money is payable by the other party. If the player wishes to transfer to another club, the player must pay the first club this sum of money. They do this by agreeing a 'signing on bonus' with the second club.

It's a transfer system under a slightly different guise.

All clubs that belong in League One though.

Rubbish -- Derby & Bolton are easily second tier clubs. In fact both dwarf Preston as a club.

Don't think you fully understand the historical structure of the football league.

Guess the layman has spoken........Preston are a great team and did well around the time Victroria was on the throne.
Helped Boltons staff ie the office staff when we was in Administration so i have a little soft spot for them, but as a club they are a little way behind us

I'm interested how we're run as a non-league club, according to an Exeter fan, of all clubs.

'L1 stature', I wouldn't cry too hard, but 21 of the last 25 years spent in the 2nd tier refutes that. There are also 7 clubs with lower average crowds than us in the Championship, and only 3 L1 clubs with higher. Since 2000, were quite clearly Championship level, in every sense.

The Bristol Rovers fan is just clearly dense, taking bait that even Masi avoided.

Only time I went to Preston away fans weren't allowed in. The most tinpot club of all.
Might change my mind if we ever play you again.
