Will the same happen at Rotherham? Not so sure, they seem to have captured the imagination of town, have sold out on more than 10 occasions this season (we've managed it once since the Keepmoat opened) and are planning on expanding to 18000.Another pitch invasion, with a hell of a lot of passion from their fans. If that had been us, a few would have tried to get on the pitch, the majority would have boo'd and given a quiet round of applause.Since when was invading the pitch a sign of passion! I went to Blyth Spartans on Saturday. Marine won 2-1 to ensure their survival. Three of their fans got on the pitch at full time and I remember thinking, there's passion for you. It was a cauldron of passion.I could list other things such as the lack of atmosphere, the constant in fighting of our supporters, the rose tinted view by many.Like I said too, be interesting if they can sustain their level of support.
