Sticking on topic, ahem, lol.

We've lined up a friendly with Championship Preston North End for Saturday July 18 at Prenton Park. Also we'll be visiting Macclesfield a week later on July 25th.

So far we have:
Tuesday 14 July - Cammell Lairds (a)
Saturday 18 July - Preston North End (h)
Tuesday 21 July - Southport (a)
Saturday 25 July - Macclesfield Town (a)

Reckon there will be another home friendly to be arranged along with a few more local sides away from home before the big kick off in League One.

Another fixture for the pre-season calendar, almost all there I reckon. By the way, all these are confirmed by the opposition, still nothing on the Rovers official website which is superbly kept up-to-date ahem.

Saturday 1 August - Shrewsbury Town (a)

And another one confirmed...

Tuesday 28 July (my birthday :smile - Morecambe (a)

That Shrewsbury Town one for Sat 1 August is at Prenton Park I think, bit strange, obviously no good teams wanted to play us there then...:whistle:

Not that inspiring. Shame Morecambe is mìdweek this year, enjoyed my Saturday out at the seaside. Would have preferred Shrewsbury away to get a look at their new ground.

 

[SCooperSomersaults]

Think most f us would have, new ground, and a bit strange that we're playing them at our place - obviously no Prem side would agree to a game - most of them will be in Asia or America more than likely.
