First Friendly Announced - Blackburn

I guess they want to test themselves against a team that play Championship style football...........

like we did for some of the play off second leg against Exeter city. Highly impressive, I thought, but only too infrequent.

UTI!
 
Good start for an attactive friendly just need to sort out our others with our away travel training ground friends! Bristol City or Burnley or Reading anyone?
 
Strange that this is a Sunday but then again Blackburn's (away)schedule so far is itself odd
{Rovers kick-off their pre-season schedule away to Scottish side Hibs on Sunday July 8th, before taking on Port Vale at Vale Park on Saturday July 14th.

The game against Lincoln City takes place on July 22nd, before Rovers play their final friendly away to Accrington Stanley on Saturday July 28th.}
But then again last year they for instance played and lost to Carlisle on 28 July
 
Busy weekend, then! Off to Trent Bridge on 20th July, then Blackburn Rovers at home on 22nd July!
 
Quick check online shows we haven't played Blackburn since November 1972. An FA Cup tie. Last league game was way back in 1958. Wonder if anyone on here was at that match?

too early for me but saw FA Cup draw at home (but not presumably a replay), plus League Cup victory at SB in Sept 71 I think
