Four Weeks To Wait.

[Alan75]

For those suffering football withdrawal problems they now only have four weeks tomorrow, to wait before they see the Rovers in action again.

Rovers have finalised their proposed pre-season fixture list with the visit of Spanish side, RCD Espanyol to Ewood Park on Saturday 6th August.

Rovers start their pre-season fixtures four weeks tomorrow away at Christie Park, against Morecambe on Saturday 16th July, before they fly off to Germany for games against 1860 Munich on the 23rd and Real Mallorca on the 26th.

On their return Rovers will play Swansea City on the 30th July to mark the opening of the League Ones new stadium.

With just four weeks to go before preparation begins for the new season, Mark Hughes will be hoping to have captured some of his transfer target, in order to acclimatise them with the team and to formulate his tactics for the new season.

Current players being rumoured as targets on this sites message board are; strikers Stefki Kugi, Andy Cole and Benni McCarthy, Rovers even confirming that a bid was made for McCarthy. I suspect over the coming weeks more speculation and rumour will emerge as supporters hope that a new striker is in place for the pre-season fixtures and more importantly to generate an interest in season ticket sales.
