Good evening, everyone.
This is Paul in replacement for Dan.
And you're indeed still listening to the North End Podcast, part of the Talk Sport Network and sponsored by Trade Windows Preston.
Right, without further ado, let's dissect what was Grez's return to Deepdale as new Preston North End manager.
Uh, expectations before the game.
Um, yeah, we'll quickly touch on, obviously we've spoke about in the past about Graham Alexander's appointment.
And I think a lot are probably in agreement that it wasn't a first choice on many people's list.
That said, we have to move on from that.
Um, the club have made their decision.
We have to stick by that and we, we have to get behind him.

So didn't actually see what the attendance was today.
Um, which makes me worry about these people that come back onto Deepdale that aren't your, I'm not gonna say hardcore, but you know, your season ticket holders and your people that are there, your Saturdays, your Tuesdays, regardless of, um, whoever's playing and whatever the ticket prices may be.
But they're watching what they saw today and think, "Eh, it's not really, it's not really, um, attracting me to, to come back on Deepdale." So it always disappoints me with these games.
It seems like, I don't know, like I think back to, was it the Plymouth game at home when we were really struggling at the bottom end? And I think back to, I think I remember, recall Norwich at home being five pound a ticket.
I just recall these games that we never really...
