League One Play-Off Final: Preston North End vs Swindon Town 24/05/2015 17:30pm

[Scrumpy]

Without trawling through, could any kind Sir/Madame let I know what the attendance is for this game?

Top tier looks empty pretty much and last time I checked Swindon had under 20k. Not sure about PNE though?!

 

[Ciderhead]

Bristol city fans claiming they have no rivalry with swindon. Fuck me its cringeworthy

Don't think anyone's claimed there hasn't been an edge to it this year.

And it's fucking funny regardless

'Ave it cheating bastards!

Sorry, but who said that?

They wanted it, they got it!

It was nothing before November.

 

[Chris]

Well done Preston

But FFS Swindon were awful

What's the story behind it? Bristol City fans seem awfully worked up considering it almost literally couldn't have panned out any better for you.

 

[JonBCFC]

Congrats Preston, tactically superb it has to be said. Commiserations only to Mike, Krazy, and agombar... The rest of you are bellends and got what you deserve

Theyve still been in the top flight more recently than you, theyve won a proper trophy more recently than you (and us). Thats all id say if i was them.

You are a bigger club get a grip its like us going mad about rotherham,barnsley losing no one gives a fuck.

Humphrey wearing a half and half scarf - terminate his contract.

It all stems down to the game we played in November, an important decision in the first minute effectively cost us the game. One of there players was cheering at our guy getting sent off, and Thompson celebrated in front of our fans at FT. Then there was a bunch of Swindon fans goading us on here afterwards.

 

[Dazza]

Welcome back Preston.Swindon were utter shite though.Always good seeing them get turned over.That must be one of the biggest winning margins in playoff history.

So L1 isn't a proper trophy?

Who gives a fuck about when they were last in division, because as it stands we're a division above them.

This isn't a battle of 'comebacks' and 'pars,' and I'm not being bitter or hateful, I'm just celebrating Swindon's misfortunes

 

[GFC4EVA]

Congratulations to preston thoroughly deserved promotion

No thanks they have mocked many of us for years after we hadnt beat them for ages and then the over celebrating In November. Smaller club or not they are still considered a rival so we cannot laugh when they get beat?

fair enough, but it does seem like a bit of a storm in a teacup. that sort of shit happens to most clubs at least once or twice a season. it really isn't a big deal.

 

[JJH]

Hate the modern music shite they play at Wembley - why not play either a football anthem, or a club anthem?

Puts a kill on the atmosphere IMO.

 

[JJ1532]

See ya Preston. Deserved promotion, not just off the back of this game but off the back of the whole season. Grayson's mastery over League One continues. Best of luck next season SF, Tom, Cha and all the other PNE lads. As for Swindon, yey, wanted them to stay down anyway, honest. I think the biggest disappointment for them today was that they didn't do themselves justice and let Preston trample all over them. Be interesting to see how they fare next season, given that they look likely to lose a number of their best players.

How cringey are these Bristol City fans? Jermaine Beckford what a player

I meant either the fa or league cup. Far too many of you on here claim you didnt care til you played them in november what a load of shite.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Bristol City fans are cringeworthy. You're all acting like 14 year old school kids.

Well done, Preston.

Its incredible but apparently they didnt care til november.

 

[JJH]

Apologies if I've wound up any Swindon fans in this thread - that wasn't my intention, I've just been celebrating, much like I'm sure you all would if it were us in the situation!

In all seriousness, best of luck next season boys, and I'd secretly like you to sneak into the same league as us sometime soon, because the games against you are fucking ace!

Unlucky boys.

You clearly can't get your head around the situation and understand what we're saying.

There was NO, I repeat NO bad blood between the two sides before the game in November - then the events of that happened, and kick-started a bitterness between eachother.

I'm sure Swindon fans will be the first to admit they'd act the same towards us if we did that today.

Got it?

Can't disagree with any of that Blademan but they've been giving it large all season and celebrated beating us like they had won the league.
Apart from the good Swindon fans mentioned above, fook the lot of them.
We will enjoy taking the piss then move on to one of our proper historical rivals in our Welsh chums upstairs!

 

[This Charming Mike]

Gutted. Just gutted.

Bollocks to that!

Aye - a lot of you Vale fans who seem to have this raging dislike for PNE would have done the similar, and have done similar in previous PO campaigns.

 

[T.A]

I thought Preston won today? Why are people still talking about Swindon?
