Preston North End fans' gallery from Blackburn Rovers Lancashire derby

Preston North End were backed by 12,000 of their own supporters on Monday night as they fell to defeat against Blackburn Rovers.

On a terrible night at Deepdale, North End were beaten 4-1 by their local rivals and did not give a good account of themselves.

Their fans however came out in their numbers and our photographer took some photographs of those that came out.

9. Cheese!
