Ingram85 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Don’t know why people get their hopes up each year. After the Bolton escape those years ago I knew they were the jammiest team in the whole of the country. How they keep escaping any sanctions or real punishment because of their dealings the last decade or so I’ll never know. Dodgiest team in the world. Someone at the Sty has some serious dirt on someone at the efl. Fetid bunch of spanner’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 They're battling hard but they still look rubbish, which ever way you freak it the gaps still back to three points if Rotherham beat Wycombe and Rotherham will still have three games in hand after that fixture, and four games in hand after blose play Brentford, hopefully Brentford don't take them lightly. Far from over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The national competitions, the Diamond League meetings, Birchfield Harriers. It's the home of UK Athletics, would they move too? I can't see how one of the premier athletics sites in the country could suddenly be converted to something else. It isn't like the Olympic stadium which wasn't there before and had no obvious use case afterwards. This is a totally different scenario, so I'd be astonished if anything other than "carry on as before but with a slightly nicer stadium" was the end result here. Your absolutely right, it won't happen for the reasons as you say being home of UK Athletics, Birchfield Harriers etc. They would be throwing a whole lot of history and prestige away for them numptys to move in. It was just something i thought about when they sold their ground the other day, plus all the work they are going to need to do on the s***thole. Reading my post back the other day....i dont know what i was thinking advocating them ever moving into a venue such as the Alexander tbh!! It just felt that slowly things were lining up for them... as you rightly say though the venue itself has never been used for anything other than athletics and the odd concert here and there! Never has been and never will be any need for a football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lease is pretty short, could it be that they have their eyes on the Commonwealth stadium being build in Perry Barr? After the games there is going to be a stadium with a 40k capacity needing to be used. I can see them moving and the Sty getting knocked down. I’d hate to see them get a West Ham style deal and land on our doorstep. Its suppose to revert to an 18000 stadium post games isnt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Why are people that disappointed. Aye it would be good for them to drop even further but ultimately they are going to spend the next decade circling the drain at the very best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegated is great but it would probably lead to them winning quite a few games. They stay up, they all get their stupid hopes up again, only for it to become obvious in October that they're going to struggle and then boo another manager till he's sacked. And repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Yep, throw in some dong stay aways and a bit of apathy and watch the attendances get even worse, the finances get even worse and just continue the slide in to absolute nothingness Don't want them going down and winning more games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They decided to raise some funds on first team match day outside the ground and Karen Brady had security remove them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Massive day for rotherham. Wycombe at home must win for them. All the teams aroubd blose play today so this is a real chance to put them under pressure as blose play brentford tomorrow night. Brentford need to win and im sure if they play half decent they will easily beat blose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Just looking at Rotherham's fixtures, later this month they have to play four games in eight days, so not ideal for them, and the last of those four games when they will be at their most tired is against small heath. And after those fixtures they have another game three days later, so it's basically five games in eleven days that they have to play, or if you count the whole month, seven games in seventeen days.
