GL to to the HN Stanleys, shame we couldn't do what we did on Tuesday. But Hey Ho a decent pre-season leaves us with some hope for the coming campaign

Re: vs Blackburn
 

Credit to Rovers sent a good side and I think Stanley should look into getting Marrow on loan.

Re: vs Blackburn
 

This match wasn't on their original list of first team friendlies, was wondering what team they would put out seeing they have a game against Sheff Wednesday today

Re: vs Blackburn
 

Poor game last night and poor attendance though it was the Blackburn second string on a Friday night. On the plus side, the new keeper did well even though he was let down by defence for the goals. Its the first time I've seen Winnard and he looks a useful player,1st half left back 2nd half central defence. Luke Joyce didn't make much of an impact and Symes had two decent chances and should have took the one in second half when he got himself into a good position only to 'pass' the ball to the keeper. Miles looked leaner and played well in first half and Grant showed some good early touches. Can only hope they play better next week though

Re: vs Blackburn
 

Paul Mullin's contribution was shocking he was barely running, though i suppose he's saving up that one last sprint for a no hope chance.

Re: vs Blackburn
 

By all accounts my other team were unlucky not to do better than a draw against their first team today with Esajas (twice) and Jeffers coming close to taking the win late on.

Re: vs Blackburn
 

yer "all accounts" omitted to mention the "Blackburn" penalty miss at 2-0 plus all the other chances they should have took.:rolleyes:

Re: vs Blackburn
 

Just a shame it wasnt even advertised on the rovers website, hardly any rovers fans knew about it

Re: vs Blackburn
 

It was on Radio Lancashire and in the local papers, so the poor turn out from our neighbours can't be put down to it not being on their website.

Blackburn fans never turn out in numbers for the fixture in the same way that Burnley fans do. I think that it sums up the two sets of fans perfectly.

Re: vs Blackburn
 

It was always going to be the reserve side, given the fact there was a match on the Saturday which was in the official itinerary, I didn't even know about the game until I saw it on here, or the LT forget which

Re: vs Blackburn
 

Let's face it, there were never going to be many Rovers fans coming along anyway, considering that it was their reserves and their first team was away at Sheffield the following day. If we sent our reserves to play at Clitheroe on a Friday night and our first team was away at Stockport on the Saturday, how many of us would bother going along to watch the reserves?

Personally, I'm hoping that Marcelle can charm a big club like City or United to send along their first team to play us this time next year! :)

Re: vs Blackburn
 

I too was disappointed that Blackburn couldn't send a first team,as Burnley did.Another good gate would have been very welcome.I am fed up of all these comments between Rovers & Burnley supporters,about who has the better support,as far as I am concerned,I have to say Burnley,as every year they fully support there fixture with us,despite this year being a night game.

Re: vs Blackburn
 

more garbage, did ya not bother to read wynonies post? these matches were arranged Before the new team took oer at stanley, it was not a good idea to arrange one wi rovers, the night before their first team were playing, lets see what happens next close season wi the new brooms.:rolleyes:

Re: vs Blackburn
 

I will await next pre season,when Rovers send a first team and the crowd is circa 3000.
