How much do you reckon Tony Stewart has put in over the years? He's been a great owner for you. Fans do have short memories.I was disappointed not to win, from our point of view we missed some really good opportunities to score (Nombe doing his old mates a favour missing two good chances, then he failed to make the headed clearance which led to your equaliser).
However I accept that you could easily see it the other way, I've never seen an away team have so many corners in the first 10 minutes.
There's no atmosphere from the home crowd simply because some think we have a divine right to get promoted, plus our performances have been pretty much shit now for 3 seasons.
In the old days it was the supporters job to lift the players.
Sadly now it seems to be the other way around, added to that is the fact that SE splits opinion straight down the middle so half the crowd are hoping he fails.
Still enough of our problems, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, the town is very gradually starting to see some investment down by the river and a new market hall under construction.
By the time you visit next year that decrepit old building next to the stadium should be demolished and a new hotel should be being built.
The stadium itself is now 13 years old but still looks pretty good, its sight lines are superb and if the crowd is up for it you can produce a brilliant atmosphere.
When we left Millmoor for 4 long years at Don Valley, I never for one minute thought we would ever play at such a fabulous stadium.
Of course fans have forgotten all that and poor old Tony Stewart is coming under increasing pressure despite covering a £1.7 million loss last season.
Fans eh!
Rotherham's "new" ground is the best of its kind I've been to. Location fantastic which is rare for the modern new builds.
