I don’t know if already said but we are playing Southend this Saturday Home or away, I might go. BG mentioned in interviews that we're staying local as he "doesn't want to be traveling 4/5 hours" so you'd think at home. Although not sure you'll be able to go mate given, you know, the global pandemic and all that.

I don’t know if it is but surely clubs are desperate for some income at the moment, would surely be profitable if they did.

As it’s not a league or cup game I doubt they will show it on IFollow but they could stream it on YouTube... they have done it before for friendly games and even cup games I think also youth games. They could also set up donations or superchats on the stream so people can donate with or without a message. Also if there is commentary people could donate to ask a question or just send a message especially would be cool if they had a special guest or someone of relevance commentating too.

I don’t know if already said but we are playing Southend this Saturday Hopefully it’ll be on I follow. I’m desperate for my Rovers fix Probably doesn’t help your Rovers fix that apart from one snippet we have had no training pics or videos as they attempt to keep in a COVID19 bubble environment that won’t be gatecrashed by gasheads trying to get a view of the squad as it is shaping up. I know they want to avoid too many gasheads working out where they are training but we know they are videoing it all (Tommy W revealed in his interview that BG had sent footage of two of the first four days training to his home in Southend so he could see how the new arrivals were integrating into the squad). Would be nice if someone could curate some stills from the training videos and our new assistant manager could write a few brief lines about how each player is shaping up in the face of a pre season routine that will be new to many of them as this is the first time BG and JM will have presided over one as an L1 management duo.

I’m guess but I’m not really worried about pictures or reports of training or friendlies, I’m thinking more along the lines of matches. Normally I don’t bother with pre season friendlies , maybe go to one that’s all. But it’s been 5 months . The longest most of us have ever gone without watching the Gas play football.

In the Graydon era I saw over 30 matches in a row without watching the Gas play football....thank heavens for Andy Rammell that season eh?

Traditionally most friendlies were away to smaller clubs to provide them with some money. Home games were against higher divisions for the same reason. Both would only have small attendances relative to the club and size of ground. It's a thought that a Rovers home game against L2 or below would only get a crowd of 1000/1500 in normal times. Assuming this is the type of fixture Ben has arranged and if Government rules allow it might be a good arrangement to test the Covid19 measures in a low key match with ticket only. The Covid19 rules as I understand them say that if social distancing is not possible, like in supermarkets etc, then a mask has to be worn, so why cant football crowds be allowed to attend games if everyone wore a mask? Be weird I know but as the old saying goes "needs must when the devil drives"

I heard on Wednesday that we also have a friendly lined up away to Newport, probably not at Rodney Parade though. I didn't say anything as I figured the club are going to want to keep things under wraps. But, given that the Evening Post have published details of the Bristol Manor Farm game then this stuff evidently can't be that top secret!

In the sixty-seven years since, though, in my case you're quite right!
