Poor do that it's only at PNE's training ground. I'd at least have expected it to be played at Bamber Bridge. They've just turned it into a non event practice match.
Preston North End FC - Springfields Training Ground (Dodney Drive, Lea, Preston): Leave M6 at junction 31 up the hill and right at the mini roundabout, take the Blackpool Road. Follow and eventually 'Deepdale' is visible on the left as you approach a major set of lights. Continue through the lights through a series of lights until you see the 'Toby Carvery Pub'. Opposite is Tudor Avenue - turn right into Tudor Avenue and then a sharp left into Greenside Avenue and right into Dobney Drive. The training ground is approx. 100 yards further on on the right.
Good show this afternoon from the lads against a strong Preston side was a good run out for some of the lads in red who don,t get a regular spot in the first team we played some very nice passing football under tricky conditions and missed a peach of a chance to go 3-1 up in normal time.
enjoyed the game and it was pleasing to see a team of Acci fringe players giving a strong Preston team a good game.
Gave the ball away a little too much for my liking,but at times played some decent stuff.
The day before Acci played a very stong Blackburn off the park at Brockhall,with terry and sean mac (2) doing the damage in a 3-1 win.
Goes to show they are capable at performing at an higher level on a decent surface.
