    Great pic at Highfield road - was it you ?

    Although I've given you a like, your amount seemed too high, and having looked it up I think 4/6d in 1967 would be £4.47 now? And for that you got Bill Glazier, Gibbo, Dave Clements and Bobby Gould... Edit: and a win nearly every time!

    Have the bed wetters disappeared again?

    Yes we are now, because of the win, hence its importance. 4 points from playoffs and 12 from relegation zone, as opposed to 7 points from playoffs and 6 from relegation zone (having played a game more than those teams) if we'd lost.

    Ratings v Huddersfield

    Wilson 7 – not much to do, but did it right McNally 8 – made a big difference in the air and looks ideal. Hope we can sign him up. Doyle 7 – can only remember one error Panzo 5 – his worst game for us I think, but did well to stay on the pitch after such an early yellow Norton-Cuffy 6 –...

    Yep so a new penny is 2.4 old pennies, and 2.5 new ones is 6 old ones! I was there when all this new fangled metric stuff happened, as well as being at the incredible Wolves game. Anyway, it didn't cost much to get in ...

    Have the bed wetters disappeared again?

    Let’s split the difference and say a defeat would have been a partial disaster, comparable to wetting the bed but having a mattress topper in place.

    It's actually 22.5 pence, but I'm high on the result too so let's just enjoy the evening :D

    That's very plausible, because it would be rare for photos to be taken outside the ground like that, and even rarer (in my experience) for people to be climbing over walls. The enormity of that game would explain both. Edit: 1967 I believe. I'm in nit-picking mode this afternoon ;)

    It's not 'as it happens' though is it? It's because we won, and that's why it was so important. We were sliding and now we're back on an even keel.

    Huddersfield would have been only 6 points behind us with a game in hand though. This win was massively important.

    It was 4/6d, which is 22 and a half 'new' pence. Apologies if you are making a subtle point which has escaped me!

    Great picture. Yes the crow’s nest would be high up in that corner. Stood up there for years, can still see it all in my mind’s eye. Looks like it was 4/6d (four shillings and sixpence) for an adult, which is 22p so it was well worth climbing over the wall to avoid paying ;) 2/6d for kids = 12p.

    Gyokores

    Are you overlooking the fact that he creates half of his opportunities pretty much single handed? Are Godden or Walker going to pick up the ball miles from goal and force their way into shooting positions like Vik does? Having waited a couple of decades for a decent centre forward, I can't...

    Transfer Rumour Sean Maguire incoming

    Yeah quite a few good headed goals earlier on in his Preston career, even though he's not a big guy.

    Transfer Rumour Luke McNally

    Heat map on shmmeee's post #7958 (Transfer Shouts thread) suggests right side. Likes to get forward, leaving gaping holes behind ;)

    Transfer Shouts

    Sounds like he needs to team up with Kenny Jackett.

    Was it Bill or was it Ben?

    Really still not sure despite all the images? From the CCFC website - 'That lead was halved five minutes later when Brooke Norton-Cuffy picked out Viktor Gyökeres with a superb ball into the box and the Swede took a touch and Palmer ran onto the ball and unleashed a thunderous strike to beat...

    Injuries

    Godden's sharpness and touch seemed to have deserted him even before the injury. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if he could make much of a contribution in the next couple of weeks. Bring him on late if needed I guess.
