20th January 1908...

[Reinelt 62]

... was the last time we won at Preston, and on that happy note I bid you all good night.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Not so.

That game was an FA Cup First Round, Second Replay, and it was played at Chelsea.

The Albion have NEVER won at Preston.

 

[Silent Bob]

There's a first time for everything.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Lord B is indeed right!

Something has to give!

 

[Yorkie]

So we've only ever lost one match with Bates in charge?

Which just goes to show you can make statistics say anything you want.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It was a good match as well. A deserved victory.

 

[Scotty Mac]

bodes well

 

[Reinelt 62]

Not so.

The Albion have NEVER won at Preston.

You are of course correct, Your Bracknellship. Serves me right for looking at that cheapskate Soccer Database website, instead of consulting the Carder oracle.

Ahem - you could of course use the Albion Archives database which takes Tim's excellent work and adds all the recent games!

 

[Biscuit]

Lord B is indeed right!

Well he was there!

 

[Edward Scissorhands]

Well he was there!

 

[balloonboy]

Well he was there!

But I believe the beard was slightly trimmer, also the stomach

 

[Yorkie]

So we've only ever lost one match with Bates in charge?

Which just goes to show you can make statistics say anything you want.

And after today we have still only ever lost one game when Bates has been in charge.
