Everythings sorted now, flights & hotels etc. Quite looking forward to it! I went on the hlx website too late so cheapest flight i could get was via Amsterdam on KLM Looks like we might be playing Brum then in this mini-tournament

Being the lazy bugger i am and not reading all this thread...

Has anyone got a list of who we play and when we play? All friendlies though, not just the Germany tour.

Sporting Lisbon friendly confirmed.

Official site

Let's hope they now have time to slide an extra one in on the Saturday. Somewhere thats nice and cheap on SleazyJet and good for a few beers.

[Manchester Blue]

Yeah and if they ever get round to sorting it out sometime soon there might be some cheap flights left.

[philipl]

Obviously the club are looking for a highly lucrative fixture having reasoned that the Blackburn public will not show up in big enough numbers for a prestige home friendly.

Wouldn't be surprised if it is quite a long haul. Middle East if lucky, Far East if not- there are a few tournaments around which have been organised with no big name participants.

Given Cheslki, Arsenal, Spuds, Man U, Liverpool and Newcastle pre-seasons are all sorted, Rovers must be the biggest name now available.

I fancy somewhere just outside Amsterdam...

www.Jet2.com - Leeds Bradford to Amsterdam - From £5 ! Cheaper than the parking for most games ! Not that I understand why we're talking about places a short drive from Amsterdam ?
