Guest Coyt Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I dont understand why they mock Hillsborough, after all 95% of their fanbase will have attended Hillsborough when they were Wednesday fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It must be much more amusing being bottom of the league, onto your third manager and practically relegated already. But,but we've got a nice new flat pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbster Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 7 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/ Did you not see the thread I started on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markowl Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The one positive out of all this, is that we will only have to put up with the OP for one more match and then he'll disappear as Rotherham will be back where they belong next season.

Thought it said " Rotherham Fun" Should have known better 'coz it can't be much fun being a Mini-Pig can it. Can't be much fun living in the shithole of Rotherham either.

Yes. This is my penultimate visit to your board for what may be a long time. That's why I've begrudgingly bought a ticket. Part of me thinks you can shove your £36 the week before Christmas and the other part of me thinks, pay the extra £13 and enjoy the ale crawl and see what happens regarding the football. Seems that most Rotherham fans have had enough of Wednesday and Leeds ripping off fans and just decided enough is enough. Hats off to them, I personally won't be going to Leeds on 2nd Jan. That'll be the first time I've missed there but you and them are taking liberties with fans loyalties - and Elland Rd is a lot worse than Hillsborough especially given how away fans are shoved into a corner with an awful view of the pitch. I think Barnsley's got it right with this reciprocal pricing idea. If every club did that, the prices would soon come down cos fans would put pressure on their own club to set a fair price all round. Barnsley charged us £20 this season with good concession tickets. We took just over 3,500. We'll charge them £23. Bit more but still reasonable. We'll also charge Wednesday fans £23 which I think is wrong given Chansiri's insistence and hiking the prices for us. As a result we're bring a few hundred. 4,000 less than a couple of years ago and 6,000 less than when Ronnie Moore was in charge. I know there are other factors involved for us this time like the fact we're relegated, have the worst away record in our history and its the last Saturday before Christmas but the fact is Chansiri has for it all wrong. Not many clubs sell out your away end these days and there must be 15,000 empty seats altogether so why not just half the prices, fill the ground, make a special atmosphere and encourage the next generation of fans to keep going whilst still making the same amount of cash as he is now with a half empty ground. Anyway, obviously we're most probably going to get spanked tomorrow but I don't follow Rotherham to watch champagne football. I'd watch them playing in the North Counties League if thats where we were. Bookies have us at over 8/1 which is pretty unheard of for a 2 horse race in the English league. So as ever, I live in hope. Come on you Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostowl Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Great thread. There's elements of truth in the OP but the replies/bites have cracked me up. Whatever is said about stadiums, ticket prices, pedophiles etc...the bottom line is we have a (miles) better team than them. They'd give their sister (or wife - same thing?) to be in our position.
