Pre Season Friendlies & Lancs Cup

[T4E]

Just been told by a Chester fan that Rovers are due to play Chester at the Deva stadium in pre season. Anyone heard anything?

[Blackpool_Rover]

Not heard anything. All the Blackpool fans are saying they definately have a friendly against rovers again though.

Not heard anything. All the Blackpool fans are saying they definately have a friendly against rovers again though.

It's hard to see when considering Rovers are in Germany until Saturday 24th at the earliest; Blackpool play Preston on Tuesday 27th (and Morecambe on Wednesday 28th); and Rovers play Preston on Saturday 31st.

The only available date would be mid week around Wed 4th, but the League starts the following weekend - do clubs play friendlys that close to the start of the season? It'd be good if they were pencilled in for then, but it seems unlikely.

As for Chester, could it be the reserves that are playing?

Isn't Huddersfield away meant to be on the cards?

Cheers for that sounds promising but not sure if the dates fit in with my plans. I hope to got though as it should be a laugh.

I know that Rovers have to play Great Harwood Town in a pre-season friendly as part of the Matt Derbyshrie deal, this has to include Matt, and at least 5 first team players from Rovers.

Just checked the website HERE all return flights seem to be in the region of £150. What dates are you going so the return price is only £81?

Sorry Mr Williams but you emailed me last week confirming when the matches in Germany are taking place.

Or maybe you are Mr Souness.

Someone else who obviously knows more than the people who run the club.

I think you will find HERE Souness has already confirmed we are going to Germany.

Blackburn Fans Holland will be there as well. Famous for always travelling !

According to ITV text- we're playing Bury away, although judging by the kick off time it might be the reserves.

Mon July 19th - 11.30

[BRFCHolland]

I saw on the BBC website that we play Bury on July 19th.

[Jordan]

I have found flights for £41. Will tell when i have booked mine so you bar-stewrads dont go and buy them before i get paid.

Travelling 18th to the 25th so will get all the games in.

[Manchester Blue]

Cheers for the help Jordan. Looked on there and can get flights for a couple of nights for £35 from Manchester. Got to sort a few things out first but probably going out 19th - 21st. Can't do a full week i'm afraid.
