It’s the first game of the season at a newly promoted side away from home. The likely outcome is obvious but we have to have some hope. A draw would be decent, these first games of the season away from home are no guide but can often end in defeat.
Away Fans Info
A decent place to meet is at the union club and the owner opens his front and back doors to away fans for all Rotherham United matches. Here are the details.
The Union Club, ( Transport Club )
Union Street,
Masbrough,
Rotherham S61 1AA
The owner Paul is on 07565853802 if you want to contact him to open up at a certain time. They sell a wide range of beers, cider and have a decent pub food menu. About a ten minute walk to the stadium.
Rotherham ‘Facts Explained ’
Gordon Banks is from Rotherham, he was a goalkeeper who only had one eye when he retired. Gordon in currently dead. Pocket Handkerchief Lane, now there’s a name to work with ? It’s a name of a lane in Rotherham. It is said that in this lane the Pocket Handkerchief was first conceived. Not literally. However we think that could be a load of bollocks. The Chuckle brothers are from Rotherham. Nowadays they are a singular act as one of them is also currently dead. Saxon and Jive Bunny are from the town, hard to work out I know. Especially when legend has it that Barnsley is where Saxon hail from. Even more difficult is Jive Bunny. They do come from Rotherham and often got themselves in a right pickle.
We know you won’t believe this but the first football was made out of cheese in Rotherham. It was made by a chap called Billy Miller. Billy was the cousin of another Rotherham great named William of Hague. Hence the nickname ‘The Millers’ That’s possibly enough true, startling and fun facts for now.

Interesting first goal kick of the season we hit long and nearly catch the opposition out. |
Wasn’t rocket science was it. |  |

You can see old pitch markings they’ve made their pitch a hell of a lot smaller. As is their right. |  |

Lovely ball from Grimes into Piroe then, should've done better.
Rotherham are really poor, we need to punish them. |  |

Abysmal defending, 3 of them couldn't get in and win it over the one RU player. | |

Tough break against the run of play, but we look like we've got a couple goals coming our way today. |  |

He had our player round the neck. VAR would have disallowed that. | |

Just how is this Sorinola playing before Manning.
Was he a player Russ wanted or was he brought in against his wishes,cos he really really should not be wearing our shirt,wishing it maybe | |

Yeah but we don't have VAR in our division.
So far it looks a lot like many of last seasons games, dominating possession but we can't score and give away a soft goal.
We are often slow starters though, I hope for better later on. | |

Completely lost composure. And the ref is giving them free rein to grab hold and pull our players at set pieces with impunity. [Post edited 30 Jul 2022 15:29]

Their fans are making some noise. They are a physical and in your face team are Rotherham.
They need to get a hold of the ball here and calm the game down, as i said, not an easy place to start but we need to start playing our football and take the game by the scruff...we are starting to let them dictate the game. | |
