MarkBRFC Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Bradford have already confirmed they won't be allowing Rovers fans in. Guessing that all friendlies wont be allowing away fans in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The away day (note, ‘day’, not 3pm to 5pm) has been one of the few decent aspects left of being a Rovers fan this past decade. The mood music doesn’t sound good for such trips resuming anytime soon… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Not sure what the issue is for Bradford or why they are limiting capacity to a mere 4000 in a 25000 stadium and not allowing away fans. I was under the impression that restrictions were due to end on 19th July meaning the club could let whoever they wanted in to watch without distancing and capacity restrictions. Seems not. More goalposts being moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Harwood-Bellis should be our first signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably will be but it's another lazy effort from Mowbray having had him last season. He was good last season but I would like to see us giving the likes of Carter a chance and trying to bring in permanent signings rather than loans. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to consider the admin costs for the home side of understanding covid status of the away fans to sell them a ticket. Won't be away fans or walk ons for any of these games.

I read a statement today and it quoted, 10,000 or 25% of capacity whichever is lowest, in seated stadia. 4000 or 25% in non seated stadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are being led on a merry dance and rules will continue to restrict people beyond 19th July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Who of the youngsters will make the step up next season? Dolan, Buckley, Butterworth, Wharton, Carter and Pike? Rankin-Costello has for me already made the step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Leeds confirmed. Usually we would play 6 friendlies so I would expect a couple more. Wonder if Waggott will do a reverse Bradford and only open Ewood to away fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossydave Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If I was unfortunate enough to support PNE I wouldn't even be that arsed about paying that price for 1 game a season, it's what an extra tenner maybe on a more reasonable price? We are of course their cup final, have they seen how much tickets cost at Wembley? 🙄 They'll all end up paying it too, home fans however definitely won't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Pike given a chance just so when he gets booked and the ref asks his name, Lenihan as Captain (Mannering) can say "Don't tell him Pike!" 😆 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
