The Bluebirds will conclude their pre-season preparations with a friendly match against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, August 3rd.

The match will take place at the Memorial Stadium, with kick-off at 3pm.

Bristol Rovers competed in League One last season, ending the season in 15th place under ex-Rotherham United manager, Matt Taylor.

The Bluebirds and the Pirates met in pre-season last year, playing out 2 x 1 hour matches in a behind-closed-doors contest at CCS.

Our last visit to the Mem was in an EFL Cup Round One tie back in August 2016.

Ticketing information for this fixture will be released in the coming weeks.

Great friendly though, guess we will have a couple of thousand fans there, no doubt some in the home end.. so may get a bit messy, so not such a great idea from that standpoint.

Are they going to do us dirty and say no away fans ?

I know the police never give us anything for free. Or it's a set up to justify bubble trips still
