If you want a flight to Graz you usually have to go via somewhere else with Lufthansa, not worth it for a relatively short journey. 

Not sure why you're seemingly trying to defend the club, if you think Austria is fan friendly then so be it (it's not though).

Surely the focus should be getting the best possible facilities for the players to train on and not about being fan friendly?

To be quite honest chaddy I'm annoy3d you didn't drive and give a few fans a lift given your mpg. You're quite selfish.

Poor planning mate, you knew the dates for pre season. Where are you going on holiday?

not really, I don't based my holidays around Rovers tbh but more around the needs of my family. Going nowhere on holiday overseas this year and planning a week away next June to Spain.

Well I am glad that they admitted that they lost, otherwise I would not have known 😉

Ahh, I now understand what you mean, no direct flights and yes via Frankfurt is the usual route, done it many times watching Rovers and England.

European trips aren't designed for fans convenience, thats part of the fun I guess. It was a nightmare trying to get to Ankara for the Gençlerbirliği game midweek for some, same with Sofia in Bulgaria or the games in Germany pre-season under Souness, Bahlingen SC, who? where?

But as always Rovers fans made the trip, where there's a will there's a way.

I'm gutted that we couldn't go to Hartberg. We were all set, but one of our cats had a problem that blew my budget for the trip out of the water due to the vet's fees.

Hopefully, next year, they come to this region of Europe again. 🤞

Life always gets in the way 🙄 

Hope the cats ok and the vet didn't rinse you ,👍

I remember Ian Harte scoring a hat trick of free kicks against Rovers in a friendly. I know he's a left back.

My dad is a Leeds fan. He's never let me forget about that. He told me the Rovers fans around him were saying they wanted Harte to take their free kick for them when Rovers got one outside the box.

I was hoping to see the new guys at Fleetwood on Friday.

Is there any news on their injuries/availability?

[philipl]

I would be holding Adam Wharton back for the behind closed doors Barnsley game...

[tomphil]

They might well be holding him back a while given recent chip paper reports !

[Pitty]

Are any of these games going to be streamed?

2 have long standing recurring groin issues, known when recruited.

Recruit crocks, expected them to be crocked.

Maybe they might do something with the Girona at home game.

Maybe the hosts of the away games will do something.

I stopped relying on RoversTV along time ago.

I do know that all PL clubs and many Championship and below provide such a service for pre season games but expecting Rovers to is no longer worthwhile.

Any idea where rovers fans having pre-match pints tomorrow?

Yes it was.

Although, it's one thing doing it in a pre-season kickabout against trialists vying for a gig at League 1 Accrington.

It's another thing completely doing it at Championship level.

We saw what they're made of in the run in last season. Let's see if they can improve this season.

Good point, but scoring can only improve there confidence.

Apologies if posted elsewhere but can you pay in the door tomorrow?

[davulsukur]

Still no Ennis or Sigurdsson for tonight 😞

[Oldgregg86]
