[Eddie]

I'll take the Charlton game. I have very fond memories of trips to the Valley.

[AllRoverAsia]

I would like to take the Barnsley game at home.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

I live in Bristol atm so it would make a bit of sense for me to do the Bristol City one....I could talk to loads of locals and that.

[A cup of beans]

I'll take Hull City at Home. Weds 22 August.

[onlyonejackwalker]

I will do the Wolves preview for Saturday the 6th October if that works for you.

[cn174]

Any more takers for August or September?!

[Beta Ray Bill]

I'll do Uddersfield.

[Nate]

Ha ha, no certainly not!

I was going to ask to do the Leeds preview so did a little research and asked a Leeds fan friend for some decent reference points, but then I remembered as a kid when Rovers were lower down under Gordon Lee that I had liked the higher placed Wolves team at the time (mainly for their kit), so thought I would ask to do that one instead.

[cn174]

Noone fancy Leicester? Go on....you know you want to!!

[Brfcrule1]

roversmum just take care of yourself in Leeds the last time I was down there in the championship rovers lost I was chased down Leeds high street had to duck into the hospital change my jacket and walk out another entrance luckily I got out of there alive safe to say I wont be venturing down there again.This was also a game rovers lost I dread to think what might of happened if we won that game!.

[Miller11]

I will have a go at Leicester - lived on Filbert Street for a while and still have friends down there who I can tap up for some info.

[till i die]

I will do Derby away 20 Oct as i am working with several die hard Derby fans until November and are going to the game with them. Five Rovers fans and 5 Derby fans. We are staying on Pride Park Saturday night so should be a good weekend especially if we have a new manager by then

[m1st]

Go on, Clare; now that I've got the Ipswichh one out of the way, I'll put my name forward for the Peterborough one in November.

[the original david brent]

I will happily do notts forest away if there are no other volunteers. I've regularly contributed on the forum for 8 years without having previously done a match preview. I lived in notts for 5 years as a student, have an affinity with the place and regularly watched both county and forest

If you're going to do Forest, and especially if you're going to contact any of their fans, may I suggest you don't refer to the club as Notts!

[the original david brent]

Fair point. I meant nottm forest. I was always more of a county fan so freudian slip!

[A cup of beans]

Please tell me, Bob is gonna do the Palace one ?

[cn174]

Please tell me, Bob is gonna do the Palace one ?

I'll see him tomorrow. I'll wait till he's had a few beers then ask him!
