Friday Fan(tastic)



John Lee took some of our "brothers in arms" into Preston after the Hull City game last season. But when the doormen at the Assembly refused to let our men in because they where wearing the Norwegian party outfit - winter coats, hats and boots he stood his ground and started a massive boycott. We salute you for your loyalty and will to fight injustice. He also contributed with som ledgendary answers for our question bonanza.

1. If you where the boss of the entire North End empire, what would be different?
A: First thing I'd do is send Maurice Lindsay back to Wigan on the 111 bus with his stupid eBay chair! Then spend spend spend on players!

2. Whats the biggest downside to being a PNE supporter?
A: It's the hope that kills you, we all live with hope knowing we are going to fail at the final hurdle. Also we have a millionaire owner who cuts spending and let's the club get relegated... just our luck! Most clubs who get multi millionaire owners actually increase spending!

3. Whats your favorit bar in Preston?
A: I have a few favourite bars, on match days it's The Deepdale Pub before the game. Then HQ is The Sherwood pub - the spiritual home of The Sherwood Strollers...a friendly non-confrontational firm of drinkers of a certain age! Currently all with moustaches for Movember 2011. One bar I don't like is The Assembly where they lack an understanding of Norwegian fashion trends!!!

 4. What Norwegian(s) would you bring to the club?
A: Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Anders Jahre & Fred Olsen (NB: shipping magnates = rich beyond belief) and Espen Shampoo Knutsen (NB: former NHL player and present coach and style icon)

5. How are we going to get the Lillywhites to the PL?
A: To get the Lily Whites to the Premiership we need to persuade the Norwegian shipping magnates to buy out Hemmings then pay Lindsay's fare back to Wigan... then try not selling our best players for a season or two... Oh and put me in charge!

We`ll most definetly support you when you`re put in charge of the club and we`ll talk to both Shampo and Olsen about moral and finacial support. As Mr. Lee would say: Keep the faith!
We wish everyone a great weekend and wish our boys good luck on saturday. COYW!
