    What’s with all the people writing us off ?

    Derby are poor / still developing. Stoke will take time to settle. We have a bit more confidence and nothing to lose. Just because we got well beaten at Brentford doesn’t mean Leeds will get a bagful.

    We lose everyone expects it. If we get anything we are looking at challenging the play offs. Leeds have been Warned. Take us lightly at your peril.

    It would be nice to think that all Rotherham fans would boycott this game, but sadly they won’t.

    So you get what you deserve, and the rip off goes on.

    3-1-4-2 would be my formation to play Leeds. play narrow without the ball and defend from the front, hit them on the break by moving 2 of the middle 4 wide when we steal the ball and run at them. Ryan Williams and Joe Newell should have a field day against the Leeds back 4 putting crosses in for Smudge and Vassell who will scare the sh1t out of the back 4 and young goalie. Both Newell and Williams are also capable of running into the box for a shot at goal too.

    It will be a hard game that is for sure but we should be able to cause them some trouble as well. We have nothing to lose so may as well have a go.

    UTM!

    Have Ajayi playing out of skin again like yesterday and all may well not seem as bad as being predicted.
    Ye Samu is a bit special. So how are you going to go about nullifying him?

    Charge us same in the reverse fixture? Charge away. We paid similar for Derby and Norwich so far, and sold out to fans who had been to at least 18 aways last season. Trouble is you'll have to charge your own fans the same as they're the rules. We've sold out the rest of the West stand.
    Yes footy is too expensive but that's because of the wages those we pay to watch are ridiculous. Our owner has spelled it out. With no parachute money and only a small fraction of the TV money the Premier League gets, if we want to watch good players we have to pay. Even at 30 odd quid each we're losing money. And it's not a question of the chairman funding things, it's not allowed. Ask Sheffield Wednesday about it.
    As for the ground being poor, it can't be that bad or England wouldn't play there (you know, the 1st team).
    The seats at the far end are only utilised when the ones towards the middle are all sold (as Stoke did the other week, live on Sky too) so you won't have that problem this time, obviously.

    Talking out of your arris fella, your owner won't pay to get you to the premiership, nowt to do with rules, Bournemouth broke every rule in the book, do you think their billionaire owner cares?

    The only way to stop the rip off of football fans is direct action, the fans boycotting the grounds that charge over the odds, very simple, but not very likely.

    Your ground is a dump mate, as for the England 1st team playing there as a reason to say it's decent, well when have the FA ever given a shyte about how fans are accommodated??

    I'm doing what?! In your little Rotherham bubble you obviously don't realise how it is a bit higher up the chain. As said previously, go ask your friends from the big club down the road. They spent many millions. Now they'll be lucky if they don't get relegated.
    As for the England thing, did you speak to anyone who wasn't a Leeds fan who went to that game? I wouldn't just say the majority enjoyed it, i'd say they were in awe.
    As for our man "won't pay". He's been investing everywhere, including the finest, most characterful stadium, with the best atmosphere, in the north of england (a close run thing with another proper stadium at another proper club, Anfield ) Trouble is last time you lot could afford it/weren't too tight (delete as appropriate) you probably stood in the old Scratching Shed. Come and have a look, then perhaps you'll revise your opinion.
