rotherham sold out

[legendslounger]

heard from a club official in the legends lounge last night that rotherham have sold out their 3300 allocation and have asked for another 1000.

hope we can bring a good crowd too to make it a great atmosphere

[Dare to dream!]

Been a while since we've had a big derby game, I can't wait

[darren61]

could be 10.000 for this derby COYR

[DonnyBazR0ver]

And the rest. Would be disappointed with less than 11/11500.

They haven't sold 3300 , they have sold there initial allocation of 2600 and been given a further allocation of 1000.

  Still a good effort from them though,shows what an attractive side to watch we are.

[anne honemous]

I can't help but feel we should have had this game as a local promotion with something like £10 tickets in the home end, especially with it being on Sky.

Still, it'll be nice to have the stadium full enough again, just like it was in the good old days of 8/9 years ago.

[DRNaith]

It's probably worth reminding everyone that it's a 12:30 kick off.

[Chris Black come back]

Is it on’t tele?

Thought it was early to stop ale being supped.

[anne honemous]

It's on Sky, international weekend.

[Bezza]

with it being on Sky, i would doubt the home support will be much above 7,000 unless they give plenty of tickets away

I wouldn’t be too sure tbh Bezza as this season the crowds t home have seem to be decent and it is rotherham after all plus if we win Saturday then that’s 3 wins in a row (yes I know, 2 in the cups) but still, some people might come because of that.

[RedJ]

We've not played them competitively for what feels like aeons either.

[BigKeif]

I literally can’t remember last time we played them off top of my head redj.

[bobjimwilly]

was over 10 years ago - Rovers won 3-2 at the Keepmoat in a League One tie - Heffernan scored 2 and Graham Lee got 1.

We've only played them 4 times this century! 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, all in League One.

We've actually only beaten Rotherham at their place once in my lifetime, back in 1985!

[BigKeif]

Bloody hell as if it’s been that long ago. Was that the game when Martin woods scored that screamer for them?

I’ve got to say BJW, it’s still a corker of a goal now. Shame he had so many injuries when he joined us because he was great that day for them.

I was there in 1985. What a day that was! A screamer from Ray Deans won it for us. Right in front of the away end.

Last time I went to Millmoor we got done in last minute, Heff was wrongly sent off and Steve Roberts got dumped on his head. The useless arse of a referee only booked the bloke who did it.

[Branton Rover]

was at the game in 1985 think Ray Deans scored a brace that day or was it a hat-trick?

[Bentley Bullet]

 The Keepmoat was Woods' lucky hunting ground........ until he signed for us!

When was the last time that we played them on top of your head?😉

[The Red Baron]

Certainly wasn't a hat trick. Dougie got one.

[turnbull for england]

we got walloped home and away in Rumbelows cup early 90s  - each player won a tele for highest aggregate score !

[NickDRFC]

I remember the first and only time I went to Rotherham, was a thoroughly miserable result.

Firstly Heffs got sent off for having the audacity to get ploughed over just inside the box (if I remember rightly the ref thought it was Guy, whose reputation went before him, and pulled out the yellow card before realising his mistake, by which time it was too late and he had to send off the already booked Heffs). Then to really twist the knife in, Lee Williamson got an injury time winner. Let's hope we have better luck this time round.

[roversam]

Yes remember the sending off well the ref graham Salisbury admitted after the game that he'd realised he made a bad mistake by sending Heffs off as it should have been a penalty for Rovers 😢

cant believe that but if it’s the case I was there we won 3-2 with I think ray deans scoring 2 a the 3rd goal ball getting stuck in the top corner Stanction

Hopefully the November handicap won't keep many people away from the keepmoat, going to be a busy day in DTC.
