Pre Season Friendlies & Lancs Cup

Lee will be back tomorrow, you can give him some grief about it!!!!!!

he doesn't give anything away!

Possibly because he doesnt know anything about it yet.

If he did, then we would find out.

Don't worry, no need to get stressed out. I can't see Bopfingen's ground being too hard to find, theres always Taxis for Reutlingen and ULM.

No, I think I will watch the Edgbaston test instead !!

[Manchester Blue]

Nice one Ste from what I can work out Reutlingen are a 3rd division side and Ulm a 4th division side. God knows what standard the Albanian national team are, didn't England play them the other year? Should be fun anyway.

[Ben-2000]

I'd be cancelling Bopfingen if I were you Ben !!

We are now playing in Schorndorf on the Friday night at 1700 not on the Saturday. Its at the end of the Stuttgart S3-Bahn Line, so its fairly easy to get to from the centre of Stuttgart

Message me about hotels etc, and I can sort you out with a good link or 2.

Looking good. I may drive there (and possibly sleep in a tent) if the dates are right. Just have to work out how much driving it will involve..

Awaiting news when you get it, Lee 

I wouldnt book anything yet, as the dates will probably be changed

Oh how right I was

Bloody annoying, but not surprising!

[roversmum]

I see our Deano and Souey are to play in a 'veterans' match

Info from the Official Site

[Manchester Blue]

Seems you were right about the info or lack of it and vice versa at brum. Not particularly happy on here as can be expected when they are being charged £700 and were told to expect the likes of Kaiserslautern or Munich 1860.

Rovers do get a bit of stick but at least we weren't led up the garden path and ripped off like some of these seem to have been.

The only time i'd do anything like this again is spontaneously at the last minute! There's no point trying to organise and plan flights/hotels etc... Never mind im sure it'll be all worth it in the end

I think Souey's gettin a bit old to be running about though isn't he!! lol

700 quid for an offical trip is a bloody disgrace really.

Hardly surprising that they feel a little bitter. It explains where Andy Neild got his misplaced Kaiserslautern idea from.

from L.E.T.

Meanwhile, the full details of Rovers' pre-season tour of Southern Germany have now been confirmed.

In a change to the previously announced itinerary, Rovers now kick-off their tour with a game against SG Schorndorf at the SG-Stadion, Schorndorf, on Friday July 16th, with a 5.00pm kick-off local time.

Four days later, July 20th, Rovers then take part in a four team mini-tournament at Stadion Kreuzeiche, Reutlingen.

The four teams involved are Rovers, SSV Reutlingen 05, SSV Ulm 46 and the Albanian National Side. Kaiserlautern, who were originally expected to be involved, have now dropped out.

Rovers face SSV Reutlingen 05 in the first game, the winners of which will take on either Albania or SSV Ulm.

Friday 23rd sees the winners of the SSV Reutlingen tournament take on the winners of a nearby tournament. Teams from that competition consist of Bohemians Prague, Birmingham City, FC Erzgebirge Aue and SpVgg Weiden.

The matches at the Donaustadium, Ulm, start at 6.30pm local time.

[Ben-2000]

Looks like i'll now miss the first game as my flight gets there half way thro the match! tried changing my flight but they said i'd have to pay again...Nightmare!

[Ben-2000]

i notice nothing has been mentioned about tickets, i presume it will be just pay on the door! hope not too expensive either lol

Do you really expect there to be a major rush for tickets ??

If previous tours are anything to go by you will be able to sit on the bench next to Souey.

[den]

Tickets for Stockport are now on sale.

£15 for adults! Blimey, a fiver would have been enough. The rip off goes on.

[Lee]

Just been informed that in fact the tickets are on sale AT STOCKPORT, not Rovers, so basically it is pay on the door.

[Ben-2000]
