We are fortunate not to have to play in an athletics stadium which also hosts other events on the pitch. Must be a nightmare football wise and the Rotherham fans must tear their hair out.

Stockport is still a mess as well seemingly, would'nt like to be a Torquay fan trying to get to a game that just is'nt happening :roll:

Things are going from bad to worse for Stockport with backlog of fixtures, administration and bottom of League 1

Apparently Stockport have asked for the tie to be played at Torquay but the FA preferably want them to play in the North West! Fans can't be happy :roll:

I watched this match and the stadium was awful i got told that it is very expensive to get inside the stadium also.
Rotherham were lucky to get a 1-1 draw and Jamie Cureton didn't look match sharp but maybe that is because he was playing reserves football at Norwich.

No no no i meant Jamie has been playing reserves team football for Norwcih and was lucky to get onto the bench at best so Norwich let him go on loan to Screwsbury untill the rest of the season and it rumoured to be on 7,000 a week while at Norwich so i understand ,
I understand Norwich getting rid of Cureton for the wage bill because he got brought into Norwich while a championship team.

Well played Cureton going to screwsbury could be a good move i dont see any teams going for him because of his wage demands

The Sheffield eagles play on it as well and at one point another football team played there not sure if they still do.
