So the Premier League Cup final v Brentford has been confirmed as taking place at their ground on Tuesday 9th May, 7:45pm kick off

Annoying for a few reasons. One is that we seem to have agreed to surrender any home advantage by playing a 1 legged final at their ground - in the past these have been 2 legged finals.

It is also annoying that it comes the day after our trip to Millwall, making it a nightmare to get to and it will be hard to get a train back from there at night.

I'd have liked to have gone to the final and also to Brentford's new ground but seems Rovers are happy to just go with the flow.

Did Rovers have a choice?

Rovers in full control won 2-1. Liverpool manager says it was the worst performance of the season so we must have done something well Gave away a sloppy goal 10 min before the end. Keeper came flappin

Chaddy, it is impossible to defend the kick-off time for the Burnley game.  It's another kick in the teeth for supporters.  I can attend but friends who work can't attend.  If I had been working I wou

I've seen both on several occasions.  For me Wharton reminds me a bit of Tom Cairney. Box-to-box midfielder who can control a game with his classy passing. Left footed and looks like he has all t

No, the format was decided ages ago.

You can change your ticket, even if it’s an Advance one.

I am not sure exactly how it is decided, a toss of the coin or a lottery type draw, between the two finalists. I would have thought you would have been able to change the date of your train ticket, as you will still be taking the same route.

Bizarre. If it's only one leg, it should be at a neutral venue, ideally somewhere roughly in the middle of the two clubs.

That would mean both sets of fans having to go to the expence of travelling. Hardly anyone goes in the first place. Home advantage is not a big thing at U21s level.

And it would mean our fans spending half as much on travel. Playing on a pitch you're used to playing on, and less travel time for your players, is always going to be an advantage, whether big or not. A neutral venue is the only fair way to do it.

A neutral venue may be fair, but it is probably not economically viable, for an U21s game.

The U21s have the second worse record at home in the league. Away they're fifth and have won the last 3.

I get there's disappointment that a lot of fans won't be able to go but I don't think it's going to impact the team too much.

Anyone know what is happening with the Lancashire Cup Final against the dingles?

It's actually the semi-final. It's on Friday morning behind closed doors. Winners play Barrow in the final.

Half 10 on a weekday morning, behind closed doors, at a training ground.

4am (UK time) on the Moon next season.

2-0 down

Looked like an inexperienced team. I've not even heard of Litherland yet, anybody know anything about him?

3-0 now, bit embarrassing for the young lads. Doesn't sound from the LT's report that it's a fair score at this stage, we seem to have had more attacks, but says some of the defending has been really poor. Litherland seems to be a CB, so I'm guessing he's no Ash Phillips...

Rovers train them early ... It's the Rovers Way

I had a very similar thought when I read it..
