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.

We won’t get an easier away game than this all season.
They are clear favourites for bottom of the league and a budget 5 times smaller than ours.
These are the games we should be targeting for maximum points. It’s pointless excusing it already. |  |

Our Wingbacks or whatever we are using are so ineffective, Latibaudiere and Sorinola both not cut out for it.
Playing some nice stuff up to the final ball, which hasnt been sharp. | |

This Swansea squad is the weakest mentally I’ve seen for many years. No backbone at all |  |

How do you think we are doing thus far? |
Struggling with their physicality and directness.
I wasn't anticipating an easy game, not a type of team we do well against plus they have a bit of the wind between their sails.
We need to calm it down and look after the ball, longer we chase it the more we will let it out of our sight. |  |

Do you feel our coach has improved players and the players HE brought in have improved us? | |

Can't really answer that after one game let alone 34 minutes of the first game. | |

Are our new centre backs not strong enough? One of them coming from the same division are Rotherham last season. Or am I just making a bad assumption?
Are our midfield not strong enough? Fulton is playing though and he adds grit.
At least Darling can get his shots on target now he needs to defend a but better against the "directness"
Hopefully getting that goal will boost us on to win.
Is anyone actually watching the game, are we still playing too much football in our own last third? | |

First one not afraid to have a pop. We really do need to shoot more often when we get around the box. | |
