Elche are how I was able to watch Los Galacticos for €5. Figo, Salgado, Raul, R9, Carlos, Guti, hellfire what a side that was.

I watched Real there last year. It finished 1-2. They are about to be relegated from La Liga, which is a shame. They could well bounce back though.

Sounds like Venkys shopping list 2011….add Ronaldinho to the frontline and Maradona as manager, job done……

Reading between the lines on todays lancs telegraph article which involves pre season.. it’s stated some of rovers pre season games lined up depends on weather we are in the same league from relegation or promotion , so reading between those lines it looks like Leeds or wolves  and Bolton 

Barnsley

Has SCFC been announced as another friendly?

[Ben-2000]

No. Fleetwood and Barnsley have now though.

Not sure why they are drip feeding!

[chaddyrovers]

shame Fleetwood game is on Friday night and not a Saturday. Will be unable to attend tho. 

I would expect the same on 28th and 29th July judging by Rich Sharpe's comments on twitter

Fleetwood Town on Friday 21st July, kick-off 7pm at Highbury Stadium.

Pre-season so far.....

Bologna is the Ewood game apparently

[roversfan99]

I do like the idea of a home game before the season starts, so fair play.

That being said, even allowing for them finishing in the top half of Serie A, they likely will be disappointed by the attendance I suspect if (as per the fans forum) they are anointing it as a "marquee" friendly. Id be surprised if the gate topped 5k.

[chaddyrovers]

Well It's deffo good to have a home friendly game before the season starts. 

Bologna will be interesting opposition and will be test. They have ex Barcelona midfielder Motta as head coach and ex West Ham and Stoke striker Arnautović there. 

[Ossydave]

Bit of an odd choice, I mean they've had a good season but it's certainly not marquee by any standards 😕

[Mattyblue]

Now Bologna away would have been a different issue, La Grassa! 😋

Deffo another cockup by Rovers. They could have arranged a nice little preseason trip for fans to enjoy in lovely Bologna but instead we’re off to the delights of Barnsley. This lot can’t get anything right can they? Deffo

I like the idea of back to back days, I suppose he’s gonna split the squad into two, I used to like it when we played two teams at one ground, we played Stanley and Morecambe one year then Stanley and fleetwood then a mini tournament at morecambe against them and bury

It’s not as easy at that maybe they don’t wanna host a championship team ? Also it’s not s out a holiday for the fans.. it’s about preparation and we want a decent home friendly

There deffo wouldn't be much point in travelling to lovely Bologna for a game of football if team from said town is over here on a pre-season tour.

Two games in Austria for the camp which fans might be able to go to
