Claytons Left Boot Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Barrow, Morecambe and Grimsby eh? The whole club's 2017/18 budget (transfers and operations) has been blown on TM's air fare to India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep loved them as it was the only time I'd seen us play other local teams back then as we sneered at them being a division or two below despite us having no JW either. Now even PNE & Bolton are above us, shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claytons Left Boot Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 When I worked at the club in 1974, I used to go across the road and bring back a few bottles of milk and pies/chips for the reserves and young lads. Even that will be beyond us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a medical point of view I have been told vitamin D levels were very high in the lads when they come back due to the sunshine. “The lads have not been in the sunshine this season, and Michel Salgado was the only one who had a high level of Vitamin D before because he has been back and forward a few times. That quote is absolutely incredible, no matter where we are going to be in a few years I doubt I'll never feel as low as I did when that t w a t was our manager. 5 years since he left and he still makes me feel sick.

Reedy You're A Star Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Remember the game away at Grimsby last time we relegated, in the Promotion season I think? Awful ground, stunk of fish! But good game and a good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustard Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 HA, it's almost a touch misleading on the Rovers website. "The Blues will kick off their preparations with a game against the Bluebirds... ... - Barrow AFC." Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hundred years ago some broke out of there and fled to near Yorkshire then started their own settlement. It became known as Burnley and the people to this day still share the exact same family friendly breeding traits as their peers from a small West Lakes cesspit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still getting sloshed abroad is much more fun than the Ewood office he had where he'd be there till the early hours drunk on his own and pissing the bed, I heard from a very good source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyland-Rover Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Is it normal to play all pre-season games away from home? Noticed North End play Bamber Bridge for their first game. It's only down the road from Leyland so I might go and cheer on Brig. I'll go to Morcambe. Barrow is quite a nice drive, but not sure I'm feeling it at this stage, nor Grimsby.

matt83 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 There was a time in pre season we'd play lesser teams then a "marquee" fixture. Won't be long before we are the lesser team to the likes of Grimsby and Barrow putting out a representative xi to give us a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 York City of the National League North added to the list. Seems to be a first team friendly. I'm pretty sure non league warm ups used to be the domain of the Under 21s... http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/blackburn-rovers-york-city-pre-season-3725415.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Glad they've added York to the list. I've never been on there so it will be good to tick that one off. Just a shame its a Tuesday night as a Saturday out on the train would have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
