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.

Yep, Preston are League One in stature and are run like a non league 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.

When we sold out and got promoted? Very tinpot...

Yes, when you filled the away end with home fans and denied away fans entry. Yes I am bitter, it was a long time ago but I'm never getting that 500 mile round trip back!

Crawley have two players called up for international duty, one of whom is our keeper. Seeing our other keeper is injured (he would have been called up for Wales u21 to get the game off) we are in a bind for the Salop match next Saturday.

Need to get an emergency loan. David De Gea?

We dont usually have a sub keeper so you can have Matt Hall if you are desperate. Our other keeper is on loan at FGR and doing very well by all accounts

Don't think Fiorentina would let him go out on loan, to be honest.

 

[GEORGE]

Looking at the current table. It certainly seems like the clubs that did'nt spend that much ( correct me if I'm wrong ) in the summer transfer window are currently adrift in the bottom six. I know it probably won't end up that way but it is some sort of guide.

We also have 2 called up ahead of Saturday. Hoole would have likely been on the bench given last Saturdays change of formation, but I'd imagine Pierre would have been starting. Not a huge loss but it means Nsiala would have to come back in of we stick to the same formation as Saturday. Advantage Crawley.

It was better first half by all accounts at Bolton Saturday. If we play anything like the Rotherham and Stockport home games tho Crawley wouldn't need a keeper
