More details announced

Quite late announced. Anyway, good to see Rovers visiting my country.

thanks for that, are these teams expected to be in first division or lower league teams. who do you think we might play

We played friendlies at Vitesse and Volendam in 1996, but haven't heard any details yet for the upcoming matches. Many English teams are playing friendlies in Holland this summer : Aston Villa, Ipswich, Sheffield United, Boro, Chelsea, Man Utd etc.

amsterdam tournamet? dont think itll happen but its a possiblity

No, Man Utd will particpate in this tournament.

Blackburn Rovers will play two friendlies in Holland, probably on 6th and 9th August. Opponents to be confirmed.

The team will fly back to UK on 10th August, to play New Zealand on the 12th.

Just heard that Blackburn Rovers will play some friendlies in Holland between 5th and 10th August.

Has anyone got more information on dates and venues ?

Anyway, looking forward to these matches.

When we play Hamburg I wander whether we will be playing in the AOL Arena.

Has it been confirmed if the match will take place in Hamburg ? Or should we travel to the southern part of Germany where we also played some friendles in the last years ?

This is my world cup plan.

Flying to hamburg on the 20th july and retruning on the 29th July.

Got tickets for  Rovers V's Hamburg and Rovers V's Olympiakos.

Flights Hotels and Taxes - All for £318.

Has it been confirmed that the HSV-game will be played in Hamburg ?

Do you know when this game is on?

365994[/snapback]

No, it still has to be scheduled. It was agreed between both countries to play a friendly, unless both teams would have been in the same group.

Match will probably be played in Eindhoven (20 miles from here)

Tough draw here, but look forward to meet Emerton and Neill during their trainingssesions in Eindhoven. The Socceroos will also play a friendly against Holland, Robben probably getting injured after meeting Football Legend Neill.

I am looking for Rovers home shirts from the period 1875 - 1992, preferrably size XL. If you have any offers, send me a PM.

Blackburn Rovers Holland

Famous for allways travelling

Last year there were also some rumours that Rovers would play a friendly in Bruges. Does anyone know if that would happen this year ?

Would be great to see Blackburn Rovers playing close to my home. Last time was at a friendly tournament in Arnhem (1996) together with Vitesse and Sevilla.

Anyone got any ideas as to how many we have sold? Has there been any update from Lee?

Only 3,500 before this afternoon. Not something to be proud of.

Will be there

Official ticket sales start 1st Feb via FIFA.com

Could even be a half decent crowd in the away end considering the early start ... Ticket Office just said they've sold about 700 out of the initial 1012 allocation.

Thats poor. Out of the 700 at least 3 persons are Dutch.

Lets hope for a result, I don't like to travel six hours to see us get beaten by a poor side like Fulham

Anyone seen the Blackburn Rovers Holland banner during the ManUre game ?

from L.E.T.

Rovers will be touring germany july 14 to 25 playing TV Bobfingen, Then they will take part in SSV Reutlingen tournament with 3 other sides.

Three further friendlies arranged when they return home...

Stockport 28th

Preston 31st

Lisbon 2nd August

And then Souness hopes to play in Holland.

Blackburn have been negotiating with NAC Breda (the team who played Newcastle in the UEFA CUP) for playing a friendly in Holland. I heard that Rovers were asking too much money for this game, therefore NAC decided to look for another friendly.

I should be making the trip to Stuttgart.

Some interesting reading here:

<< Erm...>>

That's it - get behind the lads SS.

Some under 16 year olds wouldnt understand

Does anyone which matches will be played in Germany and when ?

I saw on the BBC website that we play Bury on July 19th.

Blackburn Fans Holland will be there as well. Famous for always travelling !
