    This was the moment thousands of @pnefc and @BCFC fans stood to applaud the life of Sam Pegram, who died in the Ethopian Airways crash. Sam was 25. He was from Penwortham. He loved PNE. This was the 25th minute. RIP Sam.

    Just running the numbers on November, and 50 per cent of the city reads Blog Preston at least once-a-month. It's a far cry from when we started in January 2009, we''re nearly 10 years old. Where does the time go eh? Thanks for everyone's support. 👍
