Preston fans celebrate return to Championship
![]() |
Grayson became the first manager to get four teams promoted from League 1 to the Championship (Leeds, Huddersfield and Blackpool were the other three).
In front of 48,000 fans Preston were emphatic winners laying a play-off hoodoo at the tenth attempt.
The reaction back in Preston has been tremendous with supporters calling for a civic reception to mark the teams achievements.
When Preston last won promotion under David Moyes in 2000, there was an open top bus ride from the ground followed by a civic reception in Preston.
The club and the City Council were keeping tight lipped today about the possibility.
