BRFC shouldn't really be wasting time entertaining clubs like that. Local issues might matter to some people but clubs of similar or top quality should provide the main opposition. Like the neutral games abroad last year.

no its a great game to play,

it`ll be one of our first, it is used for fitness, not for anything else

That will more then likely be a reserve team friendly

[Ozz]

How many hours till the fixtures come out?

[Esulx]

The first pre-season match for Rovers will be against Accrington Stanley at the Fraser Eagle Stadium on Wednesday 19th July kick-off 7.45pm

We all wanted this!!!

[Ray-Von]

Burnley play practically every year pre-season at Stanley. About 90 % of the crowd last year were Clarets, so there's no issues about allocation/segregation to worry about.

John Williams said we would play our big name players to attract more fans. The ground will already be took up by Rovers fans anyway.

I think i'll have to make the journey over for this one. What are the trains like near Accy?

[herbergeehh]

Am I hearing Norway? Great news if true, let's hope it's in the sivilized part! (nothing north of Trondheim please )

And obviously not Bergen..

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

2k+ at Blackpool,3k+ at Preston......we'll probably get around 1,000 tickets for Stanley if we're lucky!

Should be played at Ewood.

You can get a train from York straight to Accrington station. Its not far in a taxi to the ground. Takes about 2hrs because it is the slowest train in the world!!

Anyway, I'd love a game against Great Harwood Town...could well be a fairwell game!

None of this Accy Rubbish!!

Burnley are now playing Accrington Stanley on July 8th.

We are playing Hamburg on July 22nd and Greek champions Olympiakos on July 28th-also in Germany.

On August 12th we are at home to New Zealand. There are more fixtures to fix.(LET).

[Hasta]

Bit of info on the New Zealand game here.

Why not Bergen? At least they can play against a qualty team here. Makes no sense flying to Oslo playing Vålerenga, when they can take the bus and face similar opposition in Accrington Stanley...

Has it been confirmed if the match will take place in Hamburg ? Or should we travel to the southern part of Germany where we also played some friendles in the last years ?

[SuperStella]

it will be in some small village like other seasons I reckon

No venues confirmed yet (hence the lack of an announcement from me!) but it will be Southern Germany/Austria for the two games.
