Preston North End looking to combat loneliness on fixture release day

PNE have six friendlies scheduled so far but when it comes to the main event, we will all find out next Thursday at 9am.

To mark the occasion, North End, in partnership with Preston North End Community and Education Trust, are inviting supporters down to the new Gentry Bar in order to take a look at who Ryan Lowe’s men will play when.

Following on from Loneliness Awareness Week, the aim of the event is to create an atmosphere where supporters can socialise and discuss the fixtures for the 2023/24 campaign.

Refreshments will be on offer for those attending, though the bar will be closed and there will be no alcohol available.

The event will run until 10:30am with PNECET’s Walk and Talk session beginning directly after, where those attending walk around Moor Park, again to increase socialisation.

Fans are being encouraged to bring cash with them to donate to PNECET if they choose, to help support the work they do in the local community.

There are 50 tickets available for the fixture release day event and supporters can get them either from the club shop, over the phone or by emailing the ticket office – and the tickets are free of charge.
