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.

Minimum pricing for alcohol in Wales, dearer than in England, pathetic Drakeford rule |  |

It appears as cheap in Wales as in England. I bought Butty Bach in Llandrindod a few weeks ago and it was the same price as Asda Hereford.
Perhaps England are profiteering.
Anyway, hope you have your slab for that bus.
I used to play super league at Ystalyfera many moons ago. Big drinkers, |
You've got to look at the offers mate.
I'm sure there'll be more than a few slabs, yes they do like a few sherberts. |  |

So then lads, it's match day.
Before the game starts, I will be very interested to see if Ogbene starts for them.
Would like to see Manning start on the left and Sorinola on the right.
First game, Rotherham promoted and on a high, never easy to play one of the promoted teams first game especially at their place.
Would be happy enough without losing today, a win would be great but it's a bit of a banana skin this one so won't be making any silly predictions with this one. |  |

We need to start well, high tempo and the right attitude, if not could be a long afternoon. I think we will just nick it, but I can't see us keeping a clean sheet today. More work needed on the training field in that area. Hope Congreve starts. | | | |

Back line may well be shaky. There wasn’t a lot of time for the new players to bed into a back three or four and Cabango hasn’t had any game time with them. |  |
