Decent enough ground - the National Football Museum being the highlight and ensuring you can really make a day of the trip up to Preston.
The concourse has ample kiosks/toilets and they serve proper cider in there which was a fantastic bonus! (although that may have been shipped in for us - Bristol City)
The home fans weren't the most vocal so it really gives the away crowd the chance to make the atmosphere theirs. The away section is half a stand behind one of the goals so it is pretty conducive to making some decent noise. I personally dont like being behind the goal but it was a decent enough view.
The town centre bars are only a 15min walk to the ground - which is set in the 'rough and ready' Deepdale area of Preston - we didn't fancy any Deepdale pubs so went to the town centre instead. The Yates's and Wetherspoons seemed to attract away fans with no trouble and a light police presence throughout the City centre.
Train Station is walkable from the ground (15/20mins).
