The good food days are back at Deepdale!

IT WAS good to see a steaming tray of lasagne on offer in the Press room at Preston last Saturday. Better still, self-service has now been restored, writes CHRIS DUNLAVY.

A couple of seasons back,members of the media were surprised to be handed vouchers entitling them to a single portion of food.

Was it budget cutbacks? Some kind of health kick? No.Turns out that a rather corpulent and extremely hungry scout had rocked up to a match and helped himself to six –yes, SIX – separate helpings before somehow squeezing into his seat for the game.

Realising a repeat would blow their hospitality budget to bits, Preston clamped down.Thankfully, it seems the tubby talent-spotter has not returned.
