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.

Should be winning with those 2 efforts there.
These are the situations we should be taking, puts more pressure on us defensively.
Would be think on putting Conegrove on for Obefami. |  |

I’ve always been a fan of Fulton but he seems way off the pace in this game. |
Agreed.
We need Joe Allen so bad. |  |

Millers game plan? Keep the actual play as short as possible? Waste time, feign injury, slow down free kicks, corners and throw ins? Is that happening? | |

Well that was thoroughly disappointing, if we cant put almost certain relegation fodder like these to the sword we are going to struggle.
Both wingbacks poor, Piroe and Obafemi a bit off the pace. Need to improve from here quickly. | |

Maybe so but maybe we have to take the positives today, the first game, away against a physical, hard working newly promoted team. We've gone behind but got back into it and maybe should have won (Obafemi sitter?) and maybe Martin will have learned a bit more? | |

There are some positives, but this game has highlighted some massive issues again. Both wingback positions, its just not working.
Rotherham will be one of the worst sides we will play this year, offered almost nothing other than a lump forwsrd or into the box. | |

A sharper Obafemi and we'd have won that quite comfortably. We still need more pace in the team though. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Defensively a lot better in the 2nd half, Wood really improved in that 2nd half, very encouraged there.
Fisher take a bow, some very good saves and collected the ball confidently.
Let down badly by the attack today, Piroe done well but Obefami was not at the races today.
Grimes needs to stop coming so deep for the ball, it absolutely kills us especially when we on the front foot from 60mins onwards. | |

Championship sides just lumping it into the box....! Pretty much 85% of the sides we will meet will do that. Rotherham are one of many...but their fans love it apparently..... | |

Piroe had to drop deep for the ball. Pato again not upto much,weak and not providing much imho. |  | | |

Disappointing result, just wanted to see more impetus going forward. Still think wingbacks will be our weakness and today showed why Obafemi won't be playing Premier league soon, first touch awful. [Post edited 30 Jul 2022 17:05]
