Pre Season 25-26

[OsloRover]

Streaming pass now available for the two Spain friendlies, as well as the Championship season pass for international fans

Edit: Not clear if the former is included in the latter, but I'd suppose not

Just watching the training video just released on YouTube.  Have Rovers got a new fitness coach in some Spanish guy on there i am guessing with his accent.  Or is he just someone being used whilst over there

I think its pretty normal for away fans to be banned in Holland pre season, and other European countries too. They just expect large groups going on the piss causing aggro and its an unwanted expense policing it.

We need another competitive friendly next week.  WBA play Lincoln away tomorrow then Rayo Vallecano at home next week.

Are we playing behind closed doors?

You would think that the first 11 will play 90 minutes against NEC, or very close to. Tends to be the way in the final pre season game.

I mentioned in the Elche chat but one thing that I have found a bit strange is that unlike usually when minutes are spread out with sometimes 2 games being played on successive days to keep everyone in line. Pre season has been very much weighted towards basically 11 players.

Surely they will have another game BCD to allow the likes of Kargbo, Gueye, Pickering, McLoughlin, Alebiousu, Tavares, Montgomery, Tyjon etc to try and get morr minutes in?

This requires forward and proper planning, so unlikely I would suggest.

I genuinely don't believe Pasha and Gestede are capable of it
