Rotherham away match thread (Come on Richard Blight, get us a goal!)

Looking forward to visting another new ground.

We dont have too bad a record against RUFC in recent times away from home. 2-2 in 93, 3-0 in 94, 1-1 in 2000 ? 1-0 in 2005.

Need to follow up tuesdays win, but which argyle will turn up ? my monies on the draw.

... in 93,

Is 20 years ago still classed as 'recent times'?

I remember the 2-2 like it was yesterday so its recent to me

We'd better hope ALL our relegations rivals also lose as we'll be 'unlucky' again

I'm already blaming the referee - and one of those linesmen.

On an optimistic note, could this be one of those games where everyone expects us to lose, and we come away with a sneaky 2-1?

I'm almost moist at the thought.

Steady on PP, we've had one of those already this week

You forgot the 'erm........uh.........unlucky'

That was all a bit too fluent.

Yet again, I find myself agreeing with you, depressingly.

A new ground for me, I've heard the running track kills any atmosphere. I'll find out tomorrow.

Unless you win promotion there, yes that running track would be an atmosphere killer

Must be strange playing home games in another town or city, even if it is just a few miles down the road.

1-0 to us and for one of my bets to come in.

Perfect!

I've got some nice dried but ready to eat figs on offer. Not giving up any of my bananas though.

Na, not really Jock. There's not even a proper defining line between Rotherham and Sheffield, apart from a motorway. It's like Magaluf and Palma Nova, just without the class...

Ah, so it's not a case of going away to a home game? I don't supose Utd or Wendies would class Rotherham as rivals anyway, so no trouble for them trespassing on someone else's patch.

Yeah, Sheffield is to Rotherham pretty much what Brighton is to Hove.

Only difference being the Gay scene is a little less rampant.

I can't quite picture ex-miners cross dressing or walking hand in hand to the pub in their donkey jackets.

I'll raise you a bunch of nice purple grapes, 4 kiwi fruits, a couple of mangos and a pomigranite. Exotic fruit for an exotic trip to ...........Rotherham?

Whatever the result I'm sure "the lads will work their socks off".

And give 110% ya know. It's going to be interesting to see how we approach the game today. Will Fletcher tell them to go for it from the start, or will he set out for a point thinking 4 points from the last two away games is a good return? I hope it's the more attacking option because we need to pick up as many points as possible before our last 4 games, which all look tough.

A draw today could see us bottom again. We need to go for it from the off.
