Entwistle Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Hasn't been announced on the Rovers' website, but Rovers will be playing Halifax Town at The Shay on the 4th August. My other half's family all support Halifax so it should be a good day out.

Stuart Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Might not be long before this is a competitive fixture!
m1st Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 AFC Halifax [or whatever they're called these days] were on ITV either this season or last in the F.A. Cup. It took me back to 1975 and the last time we played at the Shay. April 1st it was, for some reason!! If Coco had been in charge, you could have understood it. Oh, Gawd, Venky's; if for no other reason than for pity's sake on the memories of [what the Paul Agnew-produced programme sometimes calls] "Older supporters may remember . . . ", please don't let us fall that far on your watch.
Ricky Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Just to add another bit of info. I've been informed today that Rovers will be spending a week down here prior to the Rochdale game. The youth.ressies will be playing a local team from Hereford. As far as I'm aware the first team will just be training down here but will be using the SAS facilities (We're home to the SAS in case you haven't played much C.O.D.) Guess it's a good way to avoid the press lol. The camp is pretty secure.

As our pre season fixtures start to resemble those of the 1980's, Is the Manx Cup still running?

Without the MANX CUP we wouldnt have got to see Stuart Munro (THE MAN SAVAGE MODELED HIMSELF ON) Munro signing was Kentaro esque!

I remember playing Wigan at Springfield park in the manx cup when we'd just signed Frank Stapleton, he arrived in a car that was almost the same size as the main stand
Backroom Madon Posted May 23, 2012 Backroom Posted May 23, 2012 FC United XI vs Rovers XI also confirmed on their official site.

Ricky Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Hearing they will be playing Westfields in Hereford on July 25th. Hearing it's youth / reserves.
joey_big_nose Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 FC United XI vs Rovers XI also confirmed on their official site. What's this all about? Rovers sending a team to play a club founded to protest the pernicous influence of passionless ownership from afar... A little bizarre...
jamiebrfc Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 What's this all about? Rovers sending a team to play a club founded to protest the pernicous influence of passionless ownership from afar... A little bizarre... FC United fans are interested in helping with the supporters trust and passing on info that they have obtained over the last few years in that respect. Plus it's being played at stalybridge which is a good drink
OJRovers Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 What's this all about? Rovers sending a team to play a club founded to protest the pernicous influence of passionless ownership from afar... A little bizarre... Its an interesting fixture which (from what i'm told from the FC united side) seems to have arisen from the contact the BRIST had with FCUM regarding set-up of a fans-owned club. Not sure who arranges these friendlies but I doubt Venkys are aware of the connection.

Guest Rovers4Good Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 They travel to Sweden right? Are they playing any games out there?
Dunnfc Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Be Good to see Myles, after all JA said he was unplayable this season because of his schooling and us nasty fans...
bob fleming Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Be Good to see Myles, after all JA said he was unplayable this season because of his schooling and us nasty fans... Ah yes. Myles. I wonder how much he's on a week. Not that it matters of course. We're debt free. No need for ST holders next year, it's all covered. I wonder who arranged the preseason fixtures btw? No Indian trip this (pre)season or is that pesky fixture list in the way? May as well sell up I reckon. I think the games up.
Waggy76 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Be Good to see Myles, after all JA said he was unplayable this season because of his schooling and us nasty fans... If , I can find out that Myles Anderson is playing in a friendly locally , I am going ... I don't usually call players during the game , but I will make an exception for this one .. What is more daddy maybe in the stand , now that could get interesting if it is at spotland or Stanley!
Mattyblue Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Just hoping we an all witness another Myles tackle like the one that 'is still talked about to this day'.
Guest Rovers4Good Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Ah yes. Myles. I wonder how much he's on a week. Not that it matters of course. We're debt free.
