pazowl55 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Chansiri could build a stadium the size of the new york with the change down the back of his sofa. Then our u23's would have a posh new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortlandOwl Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 2 hours ago, AlanLee said: A small article in our local paper, The Bugle, I thought you may be interested in.... Rotherham United fans get another opportunity to step back in time this weekend when the team visit Hillsborough for the championship clash with Sheffield Wednesday. Football fans in the middle of the last century were expected to endure appalling conditions and facilities in support of their team and the Hillsborough stadium has been left virtually untouched as a living museum and a reminder of those dark days. For Rotherham supporters, this is something of a novelty, but Millers fans attending the match on Saturday are being asked to spare a thought for the Deedars for whom this is a weekly reality. “I well remember them coming to the New York Stadium last season” said Dave Brewer from the Millers supporters association “They were wide eyed with amazement. Many of them had never had an unobscured view of the pitch, a decent seat or a wee wee in a proper toilet before. It’s what it must have been like when one of those African tribes saw an aeroplane for the first time. They were so happy, and it was really sad knowing the squalor they would have to go back to. Bless ’em. We know it costs a ridiculous amount to visit Hillsborough, even though everything about it is poo , but we’re happy to pay. Our footballing heritage needs preserving” Meanwhile, in other Millers news, TV personality Karl Pilkington has made a promising start to his temporary job as Rotherham United Manager, securing the clubs first victory in 112 days last Saturday against QPR. Pilkington has lost some weight and taken on a Norfolk accent for his new TV series, a comedy documentary loosely based on the 1980s series Troubleshooter, in which he attempts to rescue seemingly doomed enterprises. Other episodes will feature the Imperial Typewriter factory and a Betamax video production plant near Crewe. http://www.rotherhambugle.com/2016/12/13/millers-fans-to-step-back-in-time/ At least you'll have the best ground in the National League in a couple of years.

Plonk Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I think this post proves one thing. The next time ( and it probably won't be too long) that they come to hillsborough with their begging buckets it becomes the duty of every wednesday fan to take said bucket out of their hands, place it on their head and then kick said bucket as hard as you possibly can.......all the way back to maltby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 2 hours ago, AlanLee said: Oh, and another interesting read for you boys from the same paper.... Some local football fans were in shock this week after it emerged that having a lot of supporters doesn’t make you any better at football. A study by the University of South Mexborough has reached the shocking conclusion that it’s possible to have thousands of deluded optimists chucking money at you every week and still win absolutely sod all. “Sheffield Wednesday are an excellent example of this phenomenon.” said Professor Ray King who headed up the study team “I know there are people who claim their grandad can remember hearing about them winning something in black and white, but there’s been diddly squat that anyone still in possession of their faculties can recall. And yet they still claim to be a massive club, just because a lot of people are daft enough to sit in a dilapidated stadium every week, watch them underperform – and pay through the nose to do it. It’s like claiming your local takeaway is fantastic because people keep going back even though there are rats in the kitchen and the food is bobbar.” Professor Kings comments bring back memories of last year’s Championship playoff final at Wembley where Wednesday fans jumped up and down like bell ends, and are still banging on about taking more fans than Hull, but the team never got a kick. “It’s a form of mass hypnotism .”said “Professor King“They’re the sort of people who would be strutting around on a working men’s club stage thinking they’re chickens given a bit of encouragement. It’s quite sad really.” We tried to get a view from Carlo Calpol, the Owls manager, prior to the clash with local rivals Rotherham United on Saturday, but nobody had any idea what he was saying. http://www.rotherhambugle.com/2016/12/14/having-a-lot-of-fans-doesnt-make-you-any-good-at-football-new-study-reveals/ Very good comedy article - didn't realise 1991 was in black n white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 This is why I don't think we should waste money on the West stand. Apart from a lick of paint. We should refit the north stand and rebuild the kop first for our own fans. Away fans such as Millwall, Leeds, West ham would just trash a new West stand.

owl_83 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I can't wait until they redraw the boundary so Waverley is back under Sheffield and I can state with absolute certainty I live in Sheffield. Until then I can be happy that I was born in Sheffield and Sheffield is my spiritual home but there will always be the stigma I pay council tax to Rotherham Edited December 16, 2016 by owl_83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
