Is anyone going?

I have checked the weather and it looks ok so we probably wont get wet but I am having doubts about going.

Convince me people that spending £20 to sit an athletics stadium miles away from the pitch is a good idea (at least we might not be able to see our defence).

Yes you are pretty much guaranteed goals but don't get too cocky as I suspect you may concede a couple 8-)

Who will replace Mark Robins and his staff do you think? Looks like Ronnie Moore is favourite :roll:

Has DVS pitch been sorted out since U2, I've heard the ball won't bounce?

I think Ronnie is favourite but will see. The pitch looked ok on saturday so dont worry. Although managers keep moaning about it its not our fault. both teams have to play on it.

I was hoping it would'nt bounce so it will help our defence :lol:

Can't see you keeping hold of Nicky Law as MR will take him to Oakwell I suspect ;)

Although a short distance a way, I doubt I'll be able to make the trip to Rotherham. Might do a scouting mission at Notts County instead.

No need to thumb it Mark, we'll take a car over.

I didn't get to the re-arranged fixture last season :evil: although the Crown did give us some rather nice smoked salmon sandwiches, eh Mark :D
I'd booked a holiday for the first fixture, what a waste of a holiday :(
Have room for you Phil, if you're interested.

Expecting a win, you will have to get past Le Fondre and Nicky Law and Andy Warrington first. We have only lost once in the league this season and that was at Bournemouth.

With Robins now officially having taken over at Barnsley (on £200K per season, an increase of £50K on his Rotherham salary!) and taken all his back room staff with him, it will be interesting to see how they respond on saturday.
