Rotherham United away match thread

[sh1t_ref_again]

Thank you match day thread, forgot it was an early kick off until reading, taken Mrs Sh1t ref for a night away in Ross on Wye, with plans for a leisurely breakfast and wander around the shops before getting back to Bristol in time for my flight on VPN Airways, will have to knudge her in a minute and give her good news of change of plan

Frosty old morning here in the East Riding but not any worse than the past couple of days. Heading off in 30 mins.

Glad it's in Yorkshire - we've got snow here in Devon this morning

I was at that game too! I quite liked their ground back then. 

Me, too. And I remember walking into a pub on the corner and being able to get a good pint for 85p! 

[MarcusX]

Looking forward to this today, quick jaunt up the A1 then back in time for the England game. Big day of football

[FNQ]

Great write up again JB… 3-1 to us, we’re better than them.

Didn’t we sign John Galley from them back in the day?

[Lanterne Rouge]

This has to be a first. Just seen on Twitter that Witheridge v Broadclyst may be off due to a broken down helicopter on the pitch!

Jeremy Clarkson, co-star on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, also has links to Rotherham. He trained to become a journalist at the ‘Rotherham Advertiser’ in the early 1980s.

 

 

As did comedy writer David Nobbs, who went on to write the Reginald Perrin TV series. Nobbs fictionalised his time as a young reporter in 1960s Rotherham, in his book "Pratt of the Argus", which I highly recommend if you like a laugh.

If we somehow fail to win today at least the abuse on here will be limited by the following England game where it will get even more noisy if we win - or lose .

When was the last time City & England played on the same day? 

Southend 0 City 2 in a L1 promotion season in the late 90s on the day England drew in Italy to qualify for the World Cup. That’s my best guess. 

[DayRider1984]

Anyone know of a bar in Benidorm where they may have the city game on today?

Maybe a double win bet luming ....5.75/1. ..........not at those odds ....oh well

[ChippenhamRed]

Questions for the stattos out there:-

1. When was the last time City played on the same day as England?

2. Has it ever happened when we’ve been in the second tier or higher?

Not sure when they stopped playing second tier football for international breaks?

One word…

 

Pace

[Northern Red]

Pleased to see Naismith back.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Zak Vyner not even in the squad. An injury we don`t know about?

or Dasilva

[LondonBristolian]

Did all our central defenders fall down an open manhole?

[cidered abroad]

4-4-2?

[And Its Smith]

Guess the formation 

                    Max

         Tanner. King. Naismith 

Scott. Williams.  James.  Pring

                   Weimann

              Wells. Conway. 

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Social media does make me laugh a lot of the ones that are always "slagging off" Vyner are now querying why he is not in the team...

Hesgoal no longer seems to exist so you may have a job on your hands.

Useful for me to go back and look at the last team.

O’Leary, Vyner, King, Pring, Weimann, James, Scott, Williams, Dasilva, Conway (Semenyo 65), Wells

Subs: Bentley, Atkinson, Massengo, Sykes, Martin, Bell

I'd definitely forgotten that Pring was involved against Watford. Today's team is still a little bit makeshift, but it's good to have Naismith back.
