roversfan99 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 If they had sorted it, they would have said as such. The club won't reply saying "oh I forgot to announce it" and Elliott Jackson won't have a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they would without the need for prompting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside Down Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 3 hours ago, chaddyrovers said: IMO, Waggott runs the admin side of the club whilst GB runs the footballing side of the club. That's my opinion of how we are currently run with Waggott only getting involve in the football side when he needs to I'm sure its Austria isn't it? have you email the club or tweet Elliott Jackson to ask about this? Guess what, booking something like this requires a lot of admin. Maybe it's just the fact that maggot is an idle dolloper and the club don't give a fuck about the fans, without whom the club would be nothing.

Mattyblue Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Behave Chaddy, GB is in charge of the football side, he won’t be the one booking bloody coaches and hotels in Austria… but maybe he should take that over too, as it is seemingly the only way stuff gets done at this club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Now that a third party app has us down as playing and fans have found out about it via Twitter expect some desperate and embarrassing attempt by Rovers to confirm it after the event. Joke club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-2000 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 One source says 11am, another says 2pm so wouldn't rule out a double header at the same ground on the same day. All guesswork of course! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Basically we've delayed and delayed as long as we possibly can without announcing anything, the cat is out of the bag because someone at the Austrian end has released it on that app, so yeah lets announce something. They did the same with Marbella in December, refused to announce anything and then the week before they were forced to after people already knew about it.

roversfan2001 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 As much as a handful of Rovers fans wanting to watch Rovers in a friendly in some Austrian backwater is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, this is just the latest in a long line of examples of Rovers showing sheer contempt for the fanbase. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Blimey surely flights to Austria aren't cheap during the summer holidays. Moan, moan, moan, it's like being at Ewood 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displaced Rover Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think we can all agree this club is atrociously run but christ, getting wound up about (lack of) details of a pre season friendly in Austria is scraping the barrel for things to moan about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People getting mad over it was utter bizarre to me. Ah the good old 'i won't be going so who cares' routine. Just the same as 'I can afford it so who cares if season tickets are too expensive or I enjoy the atmosphere at Ewood so who cares if others don't. Newsflash - some people will be going and yes to some it is a pain in the arse to arrange time off, flights, hotels at 2 weeks' notice when the club previously promised to not leave it to the last minute. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
