EXTENDED MATCHDAY HIGHLIGHTS BELOW
Latest team news George Byers is the only Swans player unavailable. Preston have a full squad to select from.
Probably the most memorable game was on the 2nd May 1981 at Deepdale when the swans won 3-1 to secure promotion to the old division one under John Toshack. For a lot of older swans fans this was pay back for the 2-1 loss at Villa Park in March 1964 in front of 63,000 half of which were Swansea Town supporters. At the end of that game Preston won 2-1 in what was described at the time as a pretty poor referee display with decisions going against the swans which were let’s say ‘extremely questionable’
Some memories from 1981.
Another fantastic swans memory came in September 2008 when Ferrie Bodde scored a scintillating 40 yard plus goal on twenty minutes. The swans won the game 2-0 that night with Jordi Gomez getting the second goal from the penalty spot.

Swans fans are none too confident regards this game, the lack of team strengthening and seemingly too many players waiting to move on spells out a home win, a draw would be acceptable.
DID YOU KNOW ?
Freddie Flintoff was born in Preston, and KFC opened their first restaurant in the U.K. in Preston. Here’s one for you, one of the first women’s football teams formed in Preston, yes they were called ‘Dick Kerr Ladies’ Er ... Is that ok ?
Preston has the tallest church spire in England and has a pretty large B&M as well.
Here’s a semi interesting thing about our hosts this weekend. Preston and its surrounding area have provided evidence of ancient Roman activity, largely in the form of a Roman road which led to a camp at Walton-le-Dale. The Angles established Preston; its name is derived from the Old English meaning "priest's settlement" and in the Domesday Book is recorded as "Prestune".
The Domesday Book yesterday.
It would be at this point we would do a pubs to visit and hotels recommended. Pretty pointless really. However, it’s safe to say they do have pubs and hotels in Preston, which is commendable.
We shouldn’t leave our fact finding mission on Preston without covering one of the towns best public houses, The Black Horse. Conveniently situated next to Wilkos, once you have bought a shit load of bargains you didn’t know you needed you can relax and choose from the many local ales and fizzy lagers served to your table.
This is the Black Horse, next door as you can see is Wilkos, who are in direct competition with many of B&M’s products.
Swansea hold the most wins between the two teams with 25, the swans biggest win was 5-0 in 1929, although they have recorded numerous four goal games. In that game one Jack Armand played for the swans, the clubs first overseas player. Born in India and Anglo Indian he played for two seasons and scored ten goals in around fifty appearances. Not bad, a bit like Stephen Torpey.
Jack Armand and the Swansea Town 1929/30 squad. Jack is in the middle row third from left. Or four from the right for political equality.
Fotmob make Preston favourites for the game, with a draw next favourable. If this game is anything like last seasons Deepdale confrontation we should be in for a cracker.

Excellent win, but not good for the blood pressure.
Same as many games last season - goal up and then happily ge hammered and hope they don't score. The team played well in the most part but Cooper has to do something to take the game forward when we score.

It sends out a bad message to our players and just gives the opposition a lift. We defended brilliantly today but why not try to safely kill the game off. One goal is seldom enough and it seems as if as soon as we scored we were dropping off and inviting Preston on.

Normal service has resumed . Swansea win away and are now joint third. Cardiff lose at home and are joint bottom but one as despite Sheffield Wednesday winning they are on -9.
I thought Rodon,Cabango and Guehi did really well. Lowe is fast we just need to use that pace. Bidwell looked good today, had a few chances too.
I'm not sure Preston are much lauded, I guess we'll know in a few months if they are any good but at least we are off to a winning start despite the sitting back, again!

Bidwell supplied the assist. There will be some who aren’t satisfied though

Very solid performances at the back of our defence today, very poor game with not much being created at either end. I've never been a fan of Bidwell but I thought he was way ahead of anyone else on the pitch today. It was 68,000 attendance for these two sides at Villa Park in the 1964 F A Cup semi-final. not 63,000 as stated.

With Gate receipts of £28,057. Where did all the money go?
