11 years ago the Hornets travelled north for the final game of the season with PNE already relegated.

Phil Brown was then in charge but was attempting to lead a North End rival, ending their season with a 3-1 win over Watford.

Iain Hume, Barry Nicholson and Jamie Proctor got the goals for the Lilywhites, with Andreas Weimann netting for the visitors.
