    And for the equally stupid, I wasn't suggesting anyone we have played is a team of thugs.. but if you've followed the Millers since 1963 as I have , you know that the lower leagues are where they naturally thrive.
    Sorry I broke my promise and psted in this drivel board ... won't happen again you mugs
    Oh well, at least you'll have more time to get on with your colouring in.

    I would have thought that friendlies like these are to build fitness and build confidence

I think supporting Parkgate each season is showing support to a local side and to them as a club, as it boosts their gate for a game.

    As for the rest, the team have just come back form working hard in Croatia so Warney isn't going to test them with higher placed teams with only two weeks to go before the new season starts.
    Brin ,if we were to play Man City or Liverpool, there supporters would be asking the same question as the OP

    I think this thread is absolute proof that some people will moan about anything.

    We followed a similar freindly selection strategy and pre season routine last year. All we achieved was automatic promotion and a cup double.

    Therefore, clearly:

    FKIN RUBBISH SORT IT OUT

    Admittedly we are playing more away games because we are hosting the euros, raising our profile, equiping the ground to uefa standards and putting a bit of money into the club. To which the logical response of any right minded individual can only be

    FKIN RUSBBISH. SORT IT OUT.

    It's almost as If Warne and Barker have the audacity to think that all that sports science data and experience they have makes them somehow better placed than a random from the pub to decide fitness schedules and pre season opposition. After all we were regarded by many pundits and industry insiders as one of the fittest teams last year
    Which can only be regarded as:

    FKIN RUBBISH and almost certainly in need of an unqualified, inexperienced random bloke from the pub to SORT IT OUT

    And on Facebook this week our recruitment team were labelled as a disgrace because all of our new signings, who have yet to play a single minute of competitive football in a millers shirt, are all apparantly Sh1t!!

    We have the worst supporters in English football.

    Well said. Although I disagree with the last line, all clubs have 'fans' who are planks.
