"Etihad" stadium, Manchester. Ah forgot about Citeh, but didn't include Cardiff as assumed we were talking about any competitive games. Guessing Pride Park is another we've not visited in the league. |

We have played a friendly at Stevenage. When was that as I cannot find a record of ever playing there in any type of game? I was there, the date will require some thinking, it must have been an arranged match as part of Barry Hayles' transfer to us so presumably late 1990s*. The fans were very welcoming, as we walked across the road from the car park their supporters took us to their clubhouse bar, there were the usual half time japes such as trying to get a football into the back of a hatch back car in the corner of the pitch from the centre spot or something like that. * looks like 1998, scroll down to 1998-1999: www.footballprogrammecentre.co.uk/football-programme-wants.php?id=21 |

I was there. Absolutely pissed down with rain and they let us in the stand with them. Very friendly from what I remember. I think they scored one of those 'wonder strikes' from about 40 yards and all the Rovers fans applauded.

Any idea if we can buy tickets on-line? I can't find a link on the Rovers site and the Stevenage site seems to indicate that we are sold out which I'm sure can't be the case.

Looking forward to this one, like all remaining games. Hopefully we have good numbers even if it is on a tuesday. As long as we take th game to them like we need to do in all remaining games we should be good. Got to go out and attack from the first whistle.

If we extended this to stadiums how many would we be on? Off the top of my head I'm saying definitely The Emirates (Arsenal), The Ricoh (Coventry), The Amex (Brighton), Stadium of Light (Sunderland), The Riverside (M'boro), The Reebok (Bolton)? Cardiff City Stadium, pretty sure we've only played a League Cup game there. I wonder if any of their fans are saying ' we've never played at the memorial ground' |
