npower League One action returns to Huish Park tomorrow as Yeovil Town take on one of last year's relegated Championship sides in Preston North End.
Kick off is at 3.00pm and tickets are available from the Huish Park ticket office at the discounted rate until 6.00pm tonight.
With newly installed managers at both clubs, and September's exciting 4-3 Deepdale victory for Preston still in the mind, tomorrow promises to be an intriguing clash between sides at either end of the League One spectrum.
Preston's drop into third tier football looked initially to be set for a brief one when they started like a train this season. After an opening defeat and draw, seven successive wins including the thriller against the Glovers propelled them to the top of the division but since then, the wagon has derailed somewhat, especially so for previous manager Phil Brown who was relieved of his duties before Christmas.
His side had suffered a spectacular blowout with no wins in a twelve game spell that included ten defeats! They also exited the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and the FA Cup during this period and the final straw was a 0-0 draw with Stevenage at Deepdale.
That point stopped the rot and opposing manager Graham Westley, no stranger to Yeovil Town fans, swapped dugouts a month later and now will be hoping to lead the Lilywhites back up the table. Even after the shocking run, Preston sit just nine points off the playoffs, not an insurmountable task with nineteen games still to play.
The clash in the North West between the sides in September was an absolute crackerjack. Preston were already on a good run when the Glovers visited and the hosts exhibited a fine attacking display which created chance after chance and it was credit to some heroic defending and a never-say-die attitude that kept Terry Skiverton's men in it right to the end.
Playing a front three of Jamie Proctor, Neil Mellor and Iain Hume paid dividends for Brown's team and despite a double from Steve MacLean and one from Anthony Edgar, Town returned back down the M6 pointless.
The Yeovil team tomorrow will take on a much different look with five of the squad having left since then and with both managers having only had three games in position, tomorrow could bring anything!
So come on down to Huish Park and recreate the wonderful atmosphere there was a fortnight ago for the visit of Tranmere Rovers. The crackling air added to a 4,000 crowd and a new look team brought us the three points and Gary and the boys will be hoping for more of the same tomorrow too!
