CATCH all the kicks that count LIVE when PNE travel to Arsenal for the third round of the Worthington Cup next Tuesday. With fewer than 3,000 fans able to travel to the game due to ticket restrictions, the PNE board has pulled out all the stops to bring in the big screen at Deepdale so as many fans as possible can see the action as it happens.

The big screen was last deployed at Deepdale for the Gillingham play-off game but the club are hoping the fans will leave a lot happier than in May.

Tickets cost £6, and £10 for the executive areas, with only the Sir Tom Finney stand open.

Deputy chairman Derek Shaw said: "We believe there are a lot of supporters who want to see this game, but because it won't be on TV, thought they would miss it."

The turnstiles open at 6.45pm, and tickets can be booked in advance.

Those fans travelling to Highbury will do so in style - North End has laid on a special train to ferry fans to the ground.

The PNE Football Special, which costs each fan £25 return, will stop at Finsbury Park, just 15 minutes walk from Highbury. Coaches are also being laid on.

Chief executive Tony Scholes said: "The club appreciate it is not easy to get to London and back for a midweek game. This train will make things a lot easier for fans."

Any remaining tickets for the Arsenal game will go on general sale today (Thursday).

PNE have been allocated 2,000 seats in the north Stand for their midweek away game at Millwall, on October 19. Admission will be £13 for adults, £7 for OAPs and £5 for juveniles.
