Preston North End fans may need to keep their eyes peeled for a few internet celebrities in the crowd before the season ends.
PNE continue to push for the play-offs after a superb run of form in recent weeks.
Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Hull City keeps PNE three points off the top six with 11 games to play.
The next few weeks will be crucial and there may yet be some rather famous faces in the crowd as North End chase a spot in the top six.
Why Preston North End featured in Sidemen video
Those who have been around the internet for long enough will probably be aware of the Sidemen and their most prominent member, KSI.
A group of internet personalities, the Sidemen have racked up subscribers on YouTube, released books, clothing, restaurants, an alcohol brand and a membership club.
Add in a Netflix documentary about their rise and the Sidemen have conquered it all over the last 10 years, including running an annual charity match.
Their latest video, ‘Sidemen Giant Box of Lies’, features all members either telling the truth or a lie about what is in a designated box, with other members having the chance to steal it if they believe them about the quality of its contents.
One box was billed as containing a photo of KSI’s brother Deji, but instead – somewhat bizarrely – contained tickets for a box at a PNE game.
TBJZL, the recipient of those tickets, suggested that he is more than happy to make the trip to North End alongside some of his fellow Sidemen, so there could be some famous faces in the crowd very soon.
No game was specified and one member stated that they don’t even know where Preston is, so their potential trip to Deepdale is not off to the best of starts.
The video has already been viewed 2.6million times at the time of writing, giving North End a nice little bit of exposure and potentially a follow-up vlog in the coming weeks if the Sidemen do head to Deepdale.
Any support in the push for a play-off place will be appreciated, it just may come from a rather unexpected source as the season heads towards its conclusion.
