[Archived] Rovers to Play in India - Pre-season

[unclejack28]

If anyone's planning on coming down for this game let me know.

[JAL]

Just hope to god that the players and staff DO NOT go out to India.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

And Abramovic etc all regard the football club as their first priority? Bit of naive thinking. But feel free to bash our owners for it anyway.

How can you compare Abramovic to this lot at Rovers!...does he unashamedly use Chelsea to whore his own business interets while putting in the sum of sweet FA?

indeed.

will have to be very careful if this game goes ahead looking at the pitch could you imagine if a player got a serious injury

I wonder if Rovers' insurers are looking at those pictures?

More to the point, will Rovers even be insurable for this trip/game?

Its ok, Rovers have had practice playing hoof ball.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

You have to laught,just about sums up everything thats going wrong at the moment.

Rank amateurs.

[rebelmswar]

Can someone please post direct pictures as all I can see is still frames from the terrain featured in "Platoon."

[SAS]

Got to be BS, that article is ridiculous.

Was that not on the same post-it note as "June - must pay mortgage"

TRIP POSTPONED....TIL OCTOBER

Can't see any sense in us flying out mid-season, I think it will keep getting put back.

Kean may have got his dates mixed up, six games in October, there are two two week breaks at the beginning of Sep/Nov.

[tony gale's mic]

A mid season trip to India! I couldn't think of a better idea!

Also it means these morons intend to stick around for a while yet.

[philipl]

Thankfully sense has prevailed now.

Critical we concentrate on getting the squad up to full fitness for the relegation 6 pointer on day 1 of the season.

Kean gets lots mixed up, not a good day for Rovers, what started so well where we all thought we would get rid of him, he's still here!!!

As the trip is now called off, that puts us one game down to get up to speed!

[Finch]

My first thought when I heard it had been called off was that it looks like they don't know what they're doing.

To make plans one minute only to change them soon after? What does that say about them?

I know you love bringing doom to this place but seriously a relegation game first day of the season. Please go F... Yourself.

No game on 8th October, due to International commitments. Kean is correct.

[arbitro]

Presumably some fans have shelled out money to go and watch Rovers play in the postponed game - what will they do now?

Anybody who books for a game thats not officially announced wants their head examining. (Like booking Hong Kong in November for example)...

I believe a number were looking at this and ways to get to HK, but had already abandoned all plans to get their Visas sorted a while back.

Well I know of a group of 40 who booked for HK before the end of the season clearly not knowing if we would be able to enter as potentially a FL club.

Ewood Blues lot. Didnt think there were that many of them. 40 including the 8 who are on our flight on Saturday maybe.

Look like rovers insider was right (again)

Out of interest was it ever announced who we were playing and at which football stadium the game was to be played?

Before we go blaming "Senior Pros" for the postponement perhaps someone can tell us which team we have let down at the 11th hour. Anyone?
