    Does Rotherham really need

    to bother having a professional football club?
    Serious question.

    We might soon find out if TS and co say feck this and stop putting money in. Sad to see all the empty seats.

    There's plenty of other local clubs if the Millers disappeared.

    Three seasons of poor football abd owners who appear to have lost interest equals apathy from many fans .

    I know people that live in Rotherham that are regular fans of:
    Derby
    Leeds
    Sheff W
    Sheff U
    Barnsley
    Doncaster
    Rotherham

    And fair weather fans of the usual suspects of

    Liverpool
    Man U
    Man C
    Arsenal
    Chelsea.

    It?s not demographically possible to grow over 10k fans. And that?s only when we are doing reasonably well.

    We all remember the days of 3k-4K. And we all seemed much more content.

    2026-27 will be our first season at NYS in L2 since 2012-13 when we benefitted immensely from the 'new stadium' bump in attendance. Last night's crowd of around 2-2.5K + visitors shows what a soulless place NYS can be, I don't recall hearing a single chant from the home fans, not even a COYR or Red Army.

    Does Rotherham need to bother with a professional football club? Next season could be pivotal in answering that question. If it goes like 2012-13 then yes, if it goes in the opposite direction, who knows?

    Crikey guys, we've been relegated. Nobody died.
    No place 'needs' a professional football club, but how many other facilities in the town bring in people from the rest of the country?
    This is the first time for ages that we've dropped to the bottom division not in administration.
