PRESTON NORTH END

Deepdale (capacity 23,404)

Preston North End played their first game at Deepdale in 1878, meaning the stadium now holds the distinction of having the longest continuous use for association football in the world. At one point, it was one the only stadium in England to feature a plastic pitch, but after 8 years it was ripped up after it proved unpopular with fans and players.

Deepdale has been completely rebuilt over recent years, with the most recent Invincibles Stand completed in 2008. This stand was named after the 1888/89 team who went the season unbeaten. The other three stands are all named after former players (Bill Shankly, Alan Kelly, and Sir Tom Finney), and have their images on the seats.

Away fans visiting Deepdale are located in the Bill Shankly Stand behind the goal. The typical allocation for visiting supporters is around 3,000 but for teams with a large support, the whole end can be allocated which is nearer 6,000.

Preston Railway Station is the closest to Deepdale, although it’s around a mile and a half away so many fans choose to jump in a taxi to the stadium, which will cost around £7. If you choose to walk, exit the station and turn left in front of the Fishergate Centre, where you will pass the Railway Pub. Continue along this road until you get to the T-junction, where you need to turn right and walk straight down Fishergate, but make sure you ignore where the road forks and becomes Corporation Street. After about three quarters of a mile, the road becomes Church Street. With the church to your right, continue until you reach the A6 junction. Cross this road with the prison on your right, then turn left into Deepdale Road. Keep walking down this road where you will eventually reach the stadium.
