Pete's glamorous assistant in the supporters club on match days, making sure everyone is fed and watered. The main role is really to keep the rest of the committee in check. Don't ask for a freebie or refuse to help with the cleaning up or they will wipe the floor with you. The real driving force behind the club !!!!!

You have been warned.

General Committee - Rab Green

Rab's son Sandy found fame by scoring for Preston against Threave Rovers within 3 seconds of kick off back in the 1999/2000 season and made headlines in all the Scottish papers, the guiness Book of records however didn't include this as the World's quickest goal as there was no television evidence to back up the referee's report. Works locally with Lothian Coated Fabrics and assists Alistair in the hospitality suite on match days.

General Committee - John Snedden

John done an excellent job as treasurer for the last 3 years,but stepped down to general committee this year due to work committments.A good head for figures ,but not for heights,as was proved during a recent trip to madrid,when john performed a double twist and half pike on an escalator and spent the rest of the day in hospital.

General Committee - Ian Cunningham (Foxy)

Official club photographer (although Gordon Hanratty would contest this!!) and Bingo caller at the Legion. One of the three amigos along with Tommy and Alistair who took Jamaica by storm last year. Foxy is another Hibbie who spends his time between Easter Road and the Pennypit.

General Committee - Gavin Stuart

Gavin has recently joined the committee after spending a good few years as a regular in the stand and the supporters bar.
He supports Hearts, Arsenal and Scotland so nothing to shout about in recent years. He enjoys following Scotland to all corners of the world as a dedicated member of the Tartan Army and spends the rest of his time coaching his under 9 Preston youth team.

General Committee - Iain Brown

Recently joined the committee (what has he let himself in for?!) and also looks after the website.

Recently discovered the p.a. system and is now resident dj at pennypit.Give it up for MC Broonie.

Life Member - Jimmy Watters

Was awarded life membership last year in recognition for all his assistance in various roles over the years to the club, now gets to put his feet up in the Supporters club without having to worry about doing the gate, goals or cleaning the stand.

Life Member - Freddy Wood

Stepped down from the committee but is still involved in the club through the Legion as main sponsors. Was Tommy's right hand man for years and part of the trio (along with Tommy and Robert McNeil) who interviewed Stevie Myatt for the manager role, when asked by Freddy what he would change in the club - Stevie replied you three!!!
Is able to take it easy on match days now as a life member.

Matchday Helper - Declan Quinn

Declan stays in Glasgow so is officially the farthest travelled Preston fan. Season ticket holder at Parkhead but spends his time at the Pennypit when Celtic are away. Has a question for just about everything!!! Claims he plays for Aston Villa boys club so Stevie better keep an eye on him as he gets older.

Match Day Helper - Sean Snedden

Sean helps around the club on matchdays, is the programme seller and then helps out all the players (even sneaking out the chocolate and pies to the subs when Stevie isn't looking - sorry was that to be kept secret!!!!). He was the mascot in the Scottish Cup tie at East Stirling last season. Sean is never seen without one of his many football shirts on or without a football at his feet. Is a mad Hibs supporter and has had a season ticket for Easter Road since he was 2. Still thinks Hibs will win the Scottish Cup one day.
