Another parade in Preston today, not sure if it was for the Guild or because PKE won on Saturday . . .
. . . . after all both those events only happen once every 20 years

No, the Guild is held every 20 years to celebrate the granting of the right to hold a Guild Merchant to the town by King Henry II in 1179 (So they're as bad at Maths as they are at football then)
1179 !!!! Guess nothing has happened in Preston since then
Which just goes to prove that Preston is just a provincial market town with delusions of grandeur (City, my arse) living in the past
Just like it's football fans (Still banging on about 1881 and all that)
