Photo gallery of PNE supporters at Birmingham

Preston North End were backed by 1,118 of their fans in the away end of St Andrew's as they shared a goalless draw with Birmingham City.

Many let the train take the strain for the trip to the West Midlands, with the M6 shut to put a new bridge in place a few junctions from the ground.

Here are a selection of photos of the North End faithful.
