don't have a problem referring to them as rotherscum, or barnsley as dingles, but doesn't sit easy with me making light of the recent problems with grooming gangs and referring to all their fans as fiddlers. might just be me though.
But they are not interested in us in the slightest.

Personally I don't hate any club, I never have. I don't buy into this I support 'B' so I must hate 'A' and 'C' logic. That said I desperately want us to win on Saturday and will be gutted if we don't. Probably more so than if we lost to Gillingham say so I must feel some kind of rivalry albeit good natured. I've noticed over the 45 plus years I've been going to games I don't ever remember our fans singing an anti Doncaster song unless we were playing Doncaster, whereas anti Wednesday songs are sang every match, despite them not really given a toss about us. Also whenever the scoreboard flashes up that Wednesday, Blades or Barnsley have conceded a cheer goes up but if Doncaster concede no one evens notices, if someone does and mentions it the feeling is so what!So I genuinely believe our fans aren't giving it the big un, they really don't care.

I agreeMe too.I am neutral on Rotherham - coming from an era where Barnsley were our "natural" foe - then it seemed to morph into ScunnyNever for me have Rotherham been more than a Team that are close to us geographically speaking AND they did us the deal of all deals with the Rabjohn Wilcockson and Clish trio !As for derogatory chanting - I suspect there will be nothing we as run of the mill Fans can do about it but the vast majority of those in that Stadium will be as appalled as we are by what happened thereI personally hope there is none of it - but I may as well hope there will be no more Flares - or no more McDonalds Carrier Bags getting hurled out of cars when the stuff has bean eaten !

Which is why you've sold out your ground.

Hilarious how far they go to try and make out they couldn't give a shit about us.
