Thanks for that, Nardendee. I didn't think to check the previous match given that the Rotherham contingent would have been so small. You're right of course.

While having a drink and a chat with Roy Ironside and Barry Webster a couple of years ago, we spoke about this series of games and it amused me to hear that the two of them went to the match in Sheffield on the tram and chatted with the fans on the way. Can you imagine players today going to take part in a match in front of more than 56,000 people on the local transport system?!
