Dale head to Preston on Friday at what has been in recent years a lucky ground for us. Famous last words, or will our run at Deepdale continue?
It's three successive victories at Deepdale for Dale, with our last defeat coming on Boxing Day 1994 where we made ourselves popular with the locals by turning out in a tangerine coloured kit.
Dale supporters will be housed in the rather steep Bill Shankly Kop, which can accomodate up to 3,000 of us should the need exist. Which it won't. We'll have to buy our tickets at a kiosk outside (definitely not one of them Porta..... things) or from Spotland in advance if we wish to save a bit of time.
Ticket prices are:
Adults: £21
Concessions: £15
Under sixteens: £8
Under 8's can get in for free, but only with a full adult ticket bought from Spotland.
