    Its still all about the 'prestige' of Wembley though isnt it Frogger mate, and whether its in a half full Wembley or not, I think we've all got the rights to play there in a Play off final.

    In 1996 we took over 20000 with home gates of less than 3000, last season that total was 15500 on home gates of 9000. It clearly isn't the 'Event' it once was for Rotherham floating fans and I suspect that if we were to repeat the feat again next season, that total would be 12000 or even less.

    Would you really do London by car?

    Wembley yes, did it for both of our last appearances. Got there easily, parked up next to ground.

    I’ve done street parking about 30 years before it became residents only

    I’m no eco warrior and couldn’t give a feck about climate change. But if the FA cared instead of pretending to care they wouldn’t send northern teams there to play in semis or play offs.
