The training camp is sheduled for 9 days 21 between them so easily room to fit 1 in

Perhaps it was sarcasm as most rovers fans I know are not the slightest bit interested in this fixture this year and certainly not at the KCOM yet again

What on earth are you talking about? Failure to turn up in the same numbers as last year would represent fickledom in the extreme. The opposite of "Rovers forever" indeed. Can't play the derby fatigue card when we don't have a scheduled meaningful game until 2018, so any decline year on year must the old "Hero with Coward's Legs" scenario.

Can't say I blame you after nearly 2 years of being dry bummed by us.

Of course this is what they really mean by derby fatigue. Must be physically and emotionally spent. Ben Cockayne must be delighted to have some respite from Michaels though, almost felt sorry for him having to watch Stevie dance past him yet again.

While it'll be a bit of a lambs to the slaughter scenario, and Radford's impressively ruthless approach means he will no doubt have had the whetstone out, it is only a friendly - what's to fear ateotd?
You get to run up a score and sing about winning at Wembley. And rightly so. The price for that pleasure is to pay for a bit of our squad depth. Don't expect 'us' to turn up and watch it though, apart from a few hardy masochists. Suffered enough of late!
