Good thing though, I can cut my own hair in a minute or two.

Bald is Beaut and hair doesn't grow on the tip of a hard on.

My mother used to say grass doesn't grow on a busy street but I like your anology 😁

Got a full head of hair myself and as mother used to say (again Oedipus complex 🤦‍♀️) they're just as warm as the dark ones.

Finally released tickets for sale, and then  restrict them to ST holders.

I understand doing it for cup games etc, but why for Pre-season? Never had an issue before that I recall and I've not had my ST for about 6 years.

No wonder, when they are charging £6, for an U23s friendly game.

Are Rovers the first team they've played since their renaming back to the old club's title?

It’s a first team game for them.

It's a pre-season friendly against a second string U23s side.

Yeah but why this year specifically? How does access to a £15 ticket convince me to spend a further £430?

[Ossydave]

Season tickets holders getting priority for friendly tickets is just plain weird and more effort than it's worth

Rovers have been given less than 300 tkts by Dundee, might get more if the demand is there. I got 2 this afternoon.

I would guess that some ST people have complained maybe on missing out or something. I don't know but if there is limited amount of tickets they want to give STH first option. Might be question for the fans forum to ask

I remember going to Barrow away and they were loads of Rover fans there including me and my family. It was great day out.

I'm pissed off about the whole thing, I'd promised Dundee tickets as a Father's Day present because we happen to be staying in Dundee that night after being at Open Practice at St Andrews.

If anyone's willing to buy 2 and I'll pay you back, I'd be very grateful.

No they played Longridge Town at the weekend. There was mention tonight though of it being the original Lancashire derby 😃😃.

Got three, could’ve had 7! Seemed to sharpen up as the game went on, movement was decent. Harlock had a really good game, and impressed by Montgomery down the right hand side, he looks about 14 though.

Just get two for the Dundee end Mike, that's probably what I'll end up doing.

Our goalkeeping coach has three hands - no wonder they don't want to get shut of him 😂😂😂

Been told this evening that the Celtic friendly is off as they’re abroad.

Given that they play in Czech Republic against Banik Ostrava and then Legia Warsaw away, I’d say they don’t want to travel back for a friendly against Rovers.
