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.


Jordi Gomez & Ferrie Bodde

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.

Decent as expected lineup.

Prefer last years away kit to properly contrast with Preston on such a bright day.

Lowe Looking Wilf-esque with that hold up and lay-off

Loyal - maybe better to put all that info in the second post so that we don't have to scroll through it every page...good effort though. Busier on here than PS at the moment it seems.

Assured and confident start.

Looking strong at the back, and Guehi’s new found confidence is good to see.

Decent move and effort from Lowe

Yes I switched to the PNE stream, no problem their commentary team being very complimentary about Swansea.

We grew into the game and started to look sharper. Good set-up which continues to suit us.

Rodon, Lowe, Bidwell, Ayew or best so far.

Would like to see Grimes assert and command the middle as lacking control

Who wouldn’t be tempted to go to Swansea Uni and buy a car from Trade Centre Wales with these classy ads. No wonder he has the most ostentatious house in Gower

Thought we had one good spell, but again looked toothless approaching half-time. The defence is better this week. I'm not sure the university is getting value with the shirt logo, which isn't easy to read.

Bidwell goal disallowed as I write, and looked very tight.

Cooper’s clearly told them to up the energy and press, Lowe and Roberts pressing harder and Bidwell bombing on

More similar now to last season en

Gibbs-White scores from a good move. Long raking ball from Ayew and cross by Bidwell for a tap in.

Poor decision by ref to make that sub just as Roberts wanted to maintain our momentum with a quick throw in.

Preston being told to push so we’re getting pegged back more. Need to wrest back control to regain our ascendancy. Would like to see Smith step-up with is experience and leadership

I've been very critical of Bidwell but he's been excellent going forward.

Cooper is a f*cking idiot. He’s learned nothing about allowing sides to come on to us and inevitably score
