v Everton (h) - 19/7/25 - pre-season friendly

[arbitro]

On Saturday Rovers will play Everton at Ewood in our 'marquee' friendly match.

With so much going on in the background it will be interesting to see who plays. Will Brittain carry on his strike, will Travis and Tronstad start and what the centre half pairing will be. Will Pears or Toth be available?

For anyone who is interested Everton TV are covering the game live. I haven't seen anywhere that Rovers are yet.

Never been so apathetic at the start of a new Season at Ewood,possibly more away fans than home for this.

[MarkBRFC]

Team at a guess will be

Toth

Alebiosu Atcheson Hyam, Riberio

Hedges Travis Tronstad Kargbo

Cantwell

Ohashi

A marquee friendly against a team that was just another game until venkys turned up.

Is Carter unfit?  Not seen any updates on his cramp?

Little doubt there will be.

Yet another embarrassment.

It won't be just another game on Saturday, we need to field our strongest team possible. And let's hope there's no injuries.

Attempted to buy tickets for Everton and as a non smart phone dinosaur, the options for tickets delivery were Delayed Digital Ticket or Digital Ticket(NFC), is the print at home not an option anymore?

That is another nonsense, you should just be able to go and buy one from ticket office! 

None of this print your own crap.

We won't need to get out of our armchairs with modern technology, robots will be sitting in our seats.

[RoversTilliDie]

How does a dinosaur, who was born in the 50s, work out all this modern technology for a ticket. Bring back the good old days, pay at the gate, watch the match.

I went to the ticket office to buy a ticket with £20, I was thrown out with a robot.

Hopefully I'll work out how to get in before Saturday, see how the new comers perform.

Print at home at least means you get an email with a pdf, which is easy to access and instantly downloadable. If I have to create one more account or download a sodding app to buy a product or service or partake in something I'll probably lose it and go and live under a rock in Siberia.

These days you walk into a bloody museum... 'That's a tenner please Sir. All the commentary and notes are on our App. QR code is on your left there. Mind, sometimes you can't get a signal...' Argh!

There's absolutely no reason to not give that option unless you're goal is to deliberately prevent people from attending.

With Carter and Wharton being injury prone, that's us at full strength.

Are we not at least a little bit worried about this upcoming season as it stands?
