I wouldn't have minded another trip over to Germany, but having just moved in with the girlfriend, money is a bit tight and therefore out of the question but I will hopefully make next year's pre-season.

Really enjoyed it last year, i'd recommend anyone who's thinking of going to go for it. According to the official messageboard though, the whole 'tour' is not finalised yet so it's probably best not to book anything as games can change at very short notice, as i found out last year! I also thought i was going to miss the last game...but that's another story, I'm sure Ste B & Jordon know what i'm talking about!

[Jordan]

Looks like that could be a good trip. have Rovers confirmed anything yet?

Why would Swansea be playing Ewood?

[Ben-2000]

Last year it was the reserves that played against Morecambe... is that the case again this year?

Might be fun watching a taffy demolition squad tackling the Riverside Stand.

So are Rovers gonna be the first away team to play in the new Munich stadium?

[Lee]

Rovers are playing in Landsberg, NOT Munich's new Allianz stadium

West Ham are actually playing here!

[Parasyte]

Pity... new stadium looks fantastic.

[caithnessman]

Why have the club chosen to play a friendly against Swansea away. What a nightmare to get to in the first place and just for friendly! Were next Ross County

[Kiwiwannabe]

There is usually a decent European side that come to Ewood a week or two before the start of the season. No idea who it will be this year though.

Cos they have a new ground and so want to test it out against big opposition. I heard that fulham are playing there too. I expect us to play a coupla of local friendly's also as we usually do.

I was inclined to agree Jordan, until I remembered that my friend had rather selfishly agreed to get married on that date. (Still better then than first day of the season....)

[Ste B]

Last time I went to Swansea, the first person we met had a big plaster around his neck where it appeared he had been cut somehow. He then decided to ask us if we liked his suitcase as he had been up all night polishing it.

I knew i'd seen you before Todd.

We did have a decent night out afterwards mind.

[Grabbi Graeme]

Will be interesting to see which top euro side we can attract to play in the friendly at Ewood and also which board member will be the first to post on here that they will not be attending due to cost of tickets/ not good enough opponents.

By attract you mean pay ?

After some of the pittyfull attendences for bigger sides over the last few preseasons, if the club has any sense it'll be Trelleborg. At least they'll be cheap and the away end will be full of Dingles.

[Manchester Blue]

Swansea is now confirmed according to their official site.
