    New ground for me. Will have to get at least three trains to get there and all options seem to be different routes! Don't think the rain will be a problem but the wind could be a major factor. Met office showing 50mph gusts. Worried that it will affect the trains for than the match being called off.

    The Old Vic outside the station is very good.

    The White Hart advertises as an away fans boozer, apparently a ten minutes walk from the ground.

    There are very few pubs in close proximity to the ground. There are some social clubs near the ground which welcome away supporters, these are St Gregory’s Catholic Club and Moor Park Sports and Social Club.

    A bit further from the ground on Watling Street Road is the White Hart, which welcomes away fans.

    For those travelling by train, pubs on route to Deepdale from the station include The Old Vic, The Station Hotel, Hogarths, The Bears Paw, Twelve Tellers, and Slug and Lettuce.

    8:30 from Euston for me and my pals.  Its a new ground for me and hopefully a lucky one, as for the drinky poos we'll probably start off in the closest Wetherspoons and go on from there.

    Train to and from Leeds for me. More West and East than North, hopefully all OK. I’ll take a draw there.

    Fingers crossed the game is on, won’t be much of a game with the winds that high. 

    A heads up, the walk to the ground from the city centre is very long (40 is minutes).
