Bolton home game on Sky. Good start to the Bank Hols!

[G Somerset Rover]

Leeds on TV 4 times in August if you include their Carling Cup game. Didn't realise I'd subscribed to Leeds TV when taking out my Sky subscription.

[Hasta]

So we must play Burnley, Preston and Leeds at 12.30pm on police advice, but because it's on Sky we will let 4000 (or more) Bolton fans spend Friday night on the lash around Ewood.

Personally I'm not bothered but it does show the lunacy of the police policy.

[matt83]

At first I was disappointed Bolton game moved to Friday due to the fact that'll be very inconvenient but at least I have my weekend back now without rovers either disappointing me, angering me or boring me to death and most likely all 3 simultaneously. Roll on an unexpected free Saturday that's a brucie bonus in itself.

[McClarky]

I'm going to cancell my Sky Sports after the Ashes. I don't see why I should have to pay to help Leeds out of their financial predicament.

4000 Bolton fans for an evening SKY game ?? Very much doubt that. Might have been a decent crowd on a Sat aft Bank Holiday weekend but this will be a bit of a crowd killer, especially if it's full whack ticket prices.

[ABBEY]

4000 hahah they brought 600 last year

Nice to see pictures on the web-site of the first day back at training.

With all the weeks of doom and gloom you sometimes forget we currently still have a squad and there is a new season coming up.

Hoping Lenihan signs and we see some youth players in the first team this season.

Just seen the pictures, has it been confirmed yet whether Chris Taylor will be staying or not? If not I'm guessing it will be soon as he's on the pictures

[Rover_Shaun]

He may train without a contract if the club lets him

He's on 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 , 24

There's nowhere to go on the lash in Blackburn anymore since it's been closed down but Darwen might be fun.

[tomphil]

Although I like Taylor as a squad man it's crazy that someone of his limited ability is keeping a club like us hanging for his signature. He can't have much faith, surely wherever he goes it'll be a step down if he's to be a regular or a sideways step to be another utility man.

Quite an ironic 'pass and move' sign on the wall (pic 8). 'Smash and hope' would be more apt of GB's footballing philosophy.

Gestede's hair's got even bigger

[Rover_Shaun]

Are you sure it isn't his head?

[AllRoverAsia]

Just bung Conway a tenner:

I wonder if Conway has kept Cairney's trade - must have been daily!

So Fulham away is selected for live tv by Sky, 12pm K.O That's going to be a seriously tiny away following, more ammunition for the Dingles

[K-Hod]

I don't know, we tend to do ok for away followings in LAAAANDAN!

Leeds fans will be in uproar that they didn't get the nod for another sky live outing!

Don't worry, their game away at Middlesbrough has just been selected.

Phew - was worried for them for a minute. Just the 5 games then.

That's before the October live games are announced. Think you can pencil another 3 or 4 in for them there !

[J*B]

Hopefully Sky get their way and can show the Leeds match on the big screen at Craven Cottage, that way the entire world won't miss a Leeds game all month.

I had already booked my train for this game and QPR and had to cancel them and book them again. I lost over £50 having to do this. Once again poor from Sky with a silly kick off time too.
