Pre Season Friendlies & Lancs Cup

[roversWASmylife]

Wasn’t sure whether to put this into the other topic, feel free to merge it if you wish to do so.

Pre Season Friendlies & Lancs Cup, What have you heard?

Right, the pre-season friendlies coming up, thought they could do with a topic of our own.

Wednesday night sees us at Stockport, 28th July.

Usual questions.

Which stands will everyone be in? We haven’t been allocated a certain stand.

Which pub will most Rovers fans be in before the game?

STOCKPORT UP NEXT

Timetable result: Blackburn to Stockport

Preston away, 31st July.

Got my ticket earlier on this week, on row 37.

Again, wondered where most of us will be and which pubs before the game?

Timetable result: Blackburn to Preston

So Matt Darbyshire outscored Yorke by 2 goals. was anyone there to give us a match report. Surely we have to see some of the young lads make the step up this season. It would be nice to see Donelly, Jemel Johnson, Darbyshire (maybe a bit soon for him), and a few more of the young lads given a chance in the team.

rovers received a second allocation of tickets this morning from the nobenders having sold nearly of their first allocation. At 0930 today there were only 130 tickets left !

Looks like a half decent turn out for the away game and pne are letting supporters pay on the day as well.

[stuwilky]

Not according to the radio this morning. they said it was all ticket?

[1864roverite]

stu

thats probably what they are saying I cant disagree but pne tickets sales are very poor and I know that they are allowing entry into the ground payable by cash on Saturday !

[tchocky]

1 Whealing og

Aint that the young fella who was in the Rovers youth teams a few seasons back? Anthony Whealing. If it is, nice to see he still cares about us.

[Mike Graham]

I hear what you say about the Sumners but i've been there with rovers shirt on last 2 times we have played (promotion and Worthington/League Cup) with only minor banter; I was with Nob Enders however.

Toy Gun this year then: has the advantage of car parking and shopping.

Rang the ticket office at Deepdale this morning, you are right, tickets are "unofficially" available on the gate.

For those who care about type of thing the Kop has 39 rows of seating and goes upto seat 173. We have been given the entire stand which seats nearly 6000 (as if we'll fill that!)

Thats more like it Rovers fans!we can re-live our promotion game as we look upon the Pavilion terrace with a tearfull eye.

P.S. Make sure to vist the football museum before the game

***LATEST***

Lee has just confirmed on the official site that all the initial 1,000 allocation have been sold and it's now pay on the gate....what a waste of time selling tickets!!

I can confirm that 1k tickets have been sold from my very good source at the PNE ticket office; who also assure me we have plenty more if we needs them.

[Ricky]

Looks like it was a pretty strong team that played against Bury last night. Another goal from Gallagher to add to his 3 in Germany. Maybe the Gally and Steadinho strike force might be good enough next season.

Nice to see Matty getting another goal.

Gally was also on the mark. Anybody know which Taylor was playing?

[Tris]

Tiny.

Bruce has seen enough and returned to sender.

[Alan75]

I'd hazard a guess it was 18 year old Andy Taylor who signed pro at the end of last season. Left sided prospect who was outstaning at left back when I watched him last season in the youth team.

you can also see the unveiling of the unique statue of tom Finney and his famous splash pose !

Got a sneal preview today when speaking to the workmen and Derek Shaw the fat git !!

very nice but nowhere as near as good as Uncle Jack

Seems to confirm that Jansen and Yorke have swapped in the pecking order.

I would say that in this season at least two youngsters need to be given a chance in the first team, carling cup at the least- even if it is as subtitues. The academy is our greatest asset and we need to show confidence in our best produce even if it is only to create fees for these players to transfer to lower league clubs.

He cant play any worse than Reid, tugay (in a few of his games) and Douglas.

[philipl]

Thompson, Douglas, Jansen and Gally all started the game at Morecambe suggesting they will have a bit/no part in procedings at Preston.

Having opened the door to Yorke at Stockport, Souey has to give him a run to see if he can continue doing a job.

Quite often, there is an agreement tht a certain number of first teamers will play when these pre-season friendlies re greed so I wouldn't read too much into this.

Thus far, Craig Short has not featured much. Presumably he is being carefully prepared for the new season. Nice to see the young Bruce starting in the centre of the defence.

[Ricky]

Another goal for Gally, is that 5 for pre-season.

[waggy]
