One of the most loyal supporters of Preston North, Robert (also known as ‘Ben’) Casey, has felt obliged to serve a High Court writ to reclaim £250,000 he lent the club in 2007.
Casey, who was instrumental in designing the new Deepdale asked for his money back in August 2010 but at that time he was told the club couldn’t pay him. The writ goes on to claim that further promises and offers have been unacceptable to Casey.

Preston owner Trevor Hemmings has seen his wealth upvalued to £575m in the latest Sunday Times Rich List, but that only makes him the tenth richest man in the north-west.
Much travelled chairman Peter Ridsdale was brought in to sort out the financial problems at Deepdale. He is reported to have declined to comment on the pending action.
