Bowler Hat Icon Gentry Tifo

Hats off to the Gentry.
This is our biggest tribute yet: a stand-wide display at Deepdale — created by fans, for fans — to honour the lives of Prestonians we’ve loved and lost.

❤️ Why It Matters

The Gentry tradition is woven into the soul of Preston North End. This tribute ensures that every supporter who stood with us — in the stands or in spirit — is remembered in full view at Deepdale.
This isn’t just a flag. It’s legacy in fabric.

🔧 Built by Fans, For Fans

💙 We are actively seeking a partner (or partners) to help us fund 1,000 replacement waver flags for the Family Stand — part of keeping Deepdale alive in blue and white for generations to come.

Your support could make this legacy shine brighter than ever.

💷 Where Your Money Goes

Everything is built to last — because our memories deserve permanence.
