Preston North End

There’s plenty behind Preston. What comes next?

You don’t have to look very far at Preston before somebody mentions the Invincibles, Sir Tom Finney or just how long football has been played at Deepdale. Fair enough too. There aren’t many clubs with that sort of history behind them.

But if you’re a North End fan now, you probably want a few new stories of your own.

Preston have come close to the same heights before. They were one game away from the Premier League under David Moyes, only for Bolton to beat them in the 2001 play-off final. More than two decades later, they’re still waiting for that mythical first Premier League season.

That’s what makes PNE interesting to us this year. There’s no shortage of history here. The question is whether this group can give fans something they’ll still be talking about years from now, or whether the wait will continue. Either way, you can follow along with all the action with Match Bingo.

FAQs

Because they went unbeaten while winning the very first Football League title in 1888/89. They also won the FA Cup that season without conceding a single goal. Ridiculous, really.
Nope. North End have played in the top flight plenty of times historically, but they’ve never made it into the Premier League since it launched in 1992. They came agonisingly close in the 2001 play-off final.
Not at all. Plenty can happen while the score stays exactly where it is, which is kind of the point. Stick it on alongside North End and there’s more to keep you watching than waiting for the net to move.
The score’s only half of it. Set-pieces, cards, a sudden spell of pressure or one of those mad few minutes where everything starts happening can all give you something extra to follow
