NYE

Last year's New Year's Eve was mainly spent in Liverpool. A succession of disappointing Island based ones left me open to the suggestion of an overseas adventure. I chose Liverpool as the venue, happy in the knowledge Tranmere Rovers were at home on the 31st Dec. Flights and hotels were booked and then match was then moved to Friday evening when I would be travelling. Never mind Anfield was hosting a home match on NYE so a simple change of venue would see me at least watching some footy. The great football god disagreed as Liverpool's match was also move to Friday for TV reasons. This meant a quick scan of all available fixtures in the northwest of England. Preston is was.
