In second place was the April visit to Queens Park Rangers, with the March trip to Sunderland in third.

PNE fans first celebrated Gentry Day in 2005 at QPR, it becoming an annual event in 2008.

The day is for North End supporters to remember those connected with the club who have passed away in the last 12 months.

Many wear bowler hats and suits, Preston fans having been described as 'The Gentry' by PNE manager of the time Alan Ball Sr in 1970.
