Two years ago, we played Huddersfield and Hull away 26th and 29th and played Rotherham at Ewood on 1st Jan.

All games up to the end of September by 3rd July. All games selected up to FA Cup 4rd round weekend by 31st July.

No but I think Duru is still injured from the back end of last season.

Scored a few goals on the training vid in day two. Only person I haven't seen on anything so far is Forshaw.

This whole saga will still be going on in the year 2035 at this rate.

Where is this from?! Only been on the training pitch 2 days!

£30 for the 30 year anniversary wasn't it? https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/may/21/season-ticket-prices-reduced-for-2024-25/ But yes hardly a reduction that was going to move the needle. Thick as mince they are.

Jake Batty close to agreeing a new deal according to Elliot. I imagine the plan is to get him another loan next season and see where he's at after that.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25259212.sky-sports-deadline-blackburn-rovers-opening-fixtures/ This is when Elliot thinks the TV picks will be made for the coming season.

Probably be like last season, where they were organising Friday/Saturday games through out pre season, and forgot to arrange one on the Saturday before the start of the season. I'm not really sure why we aren't playing a match on 5th July either considering they will have been training for two solid weeks before that? Unless they are doing something behind closed doors maybe.

We aren't in the market for free agents due to signing on fee/wage demands. Both look to have decent pedigree compared to our first two signings, which tells me they probably won't happen.

Looks like Poku is going to QPR.

Well he did live in England until he was 19!

He could enquire all he wants. He wouldn't get an answer.

Yeah the TV deal is still the same so all first day, last day, midweek and bank holiday games will be live. That means no Saturday 3pm kick offs for the opening day for the Championship.

I think his replacement signed a few days ago personally.

Don't see Keersmaecker happening now that we have Tavaras. Dan Gore, bloody hell. He has played 5 games in the last two seasons due to injury.

I'm pretty sure they can't use that money for any transfers. Think whatever they send has to be documented, like x amount for wages etc

Something to do with the CEO i think.

If you put in a transfer you lose your "loyalty" payments if sold. It's only one year if needs be for Trav, Tronstad, Brittain and Hyam, they might aswell see it out if the offers to sell them don't come in now.

We need to get moving on a centre half or two, as things stand we only have Hyam and Carter who are senior players with Wharton still not being ready.

Plus Powell coming through who looks to be really good.

Oldham have got to play Stanley in a preliminary game to qualify for the 1st round, due to half the Prem being in Europe and not playing until the 3rd round.

Unfortunately, I don't think they are.

Ha, just going off the pecking order of last season I could see it being that. VI comments about Montgomery certainly seem to suggest he will be in and around the squad this season. But if pre season is genuinely a clean slate then who knows Garrett might nudge above him again, I don't think there's much between either of them really from what I have seen.
