BLACKBURN Rovers have been handed a setback in their pre-season preparations after their tour to Madeira fell through.
Allardyce’s side had been due to join Cardiff as well as Portuguese sides Nacional and Maritimo in a tournament in mid-July.
However, problems at the event have meant that Rovers are now looking elsewhere for a pre-season tour.
They are looking at the possibility of adding matches to the end of their training break in Austria.
