[Archived] Masters Football

[Ricky]

Has anyone been to one of these events before. I've always enjoyed watching masters footy on the box and tempted to mak the trip up to Manchester in a couple of weeks.

We're in the same group as Man City, Manchester United, Leeds, Oldham, and I think it was Bolton.

Just wondering how people have found it if they've been in the past.

[pksrover]

Never been, but def considering going this year. Let me know if you are going Ricky, I'll probably tag along

[Ricky]

No probs Paal, be good if we can get a group of us going to back the Rovers. Guessing a few people will be in Portugal watching preason but hopefully we can still get a few people together.

Might be up for this - £16.20 once Ticketmaster have had their cut. Looks like it's unreserved seating. Only problem is it'll be full of Mancs of both varieties.

and a handfull of loud'ish blue and white's we're used to be out numbered, apparently its twice as many mancs as Rovers fans at Ewood everytime they play us

Let's hope Matt Jansen is playing, he played last year right?

Dont think Matty will be allowed to play as you have to be over a certain age and he's only 30 so too young. Think you have to be over 35

[hawaii501]

no he played for that Allstars team last time. mix of ex pros and fans

[Sandiway Blue]

I`m going to nip over with my brother-in-law and a few mates as it`s his birthday a couple of days later,the drinking starts about 10 in the morning!

Does anybody know whether we will be able to drink whilst watching the games?

[Nelsta]

I'm goin this year.it's a mates birthday so we are going watching this then heading to a club

Cheers thanks!

[Ricky]

Well I've decided to bite the bullet and buy tickets for me and the Mrs (I know how to show a girl a good time lol)

Be good to catch up with a few familiar faces if anyone else fancies it. I'll probably stay up in Manchester afterwards for beers.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Is this the same Masters football they show on Sky?

[Ricky]

Yup, the very same.

Unfortunately they haven't announched the squad yet. I know in the past Gallacher, Hendry, Ripley, Wilcox, and Garner have all played at some stage.

Super Atko is playing for Wolves IIRC

[Tim Southampton Rover]

We are usually awful when we play.

We might have Bobby Mimms in goal as he's featured before.

[MarkBRFC]

What time does this KO?

May be interested in going.

Yes, we're normally very bad....people like Richard Brown don't fill me with confidence....Master???

Jeez.

Jeez.

BLOODY HELL !!

I didn`t know he was still alive ! i wonder what happened to him after he left Rovers.

It's 6pm I think Shorty. Get yourself up there, be up for a few beers in Manc afterwards as well.

[OhmiBRFC]

Me and the Ex have tickets for this, shame I was looking forward to it aswell.

[Ricky]

Apologies to Leftwinger for having the audacity to post a message on any other thread apart from 'Nicko's Thread' but I thought it might be useful for anyone who's thinking about going to this to consider becoming a masters member.

It's free to do and you get 10% off your tickets as well as not having to pay ticketmasters charges. Means the tixkets come down to £12.40 instead of £16.20.

[Ricky]

Just managed to get a quick heads up on the Rovers squad so far.

Simon Grayson

Paul Warhurst

Garry Flitcroft

Ashley Ward

Mark Atkins

Goals aplenty lol.

Great shout on the tickets Ricky (and thanks for the pm) ... all in favour of avoiding giving money to the rip off called Ticketmaster.

We're booked ... thinking about going for a bite to eat beforehand - possibly at Armenian Taverna or maybe tapas.
