    No probs. Apples and oranges in my mind. Being critical, debating, having differing opinions is a mile away from the utter sh**-stain sat in our section on W**nesday who was shouting abuse at our own players and loudly ranting about them throughout. Happy to be in wild disagreement about things, but I'd call out behaviour like that (and did, telling him to jog on to S6).

    Appreciate we all have reasons for missing games, we all find ourselves shouting, groaning, etc, and we all get blinkered vision sometimes, but there are points where it's clearly excessive. We've got some brilliant fans who go anywhere, any weather, always behind the team... but we also have a lot of absolute numpties who will find something to moan about no matter what's happening, and when that turns into shouting abuse at the team, it's dismal.
    The second para should be printed and put on every seat at the next home match.

    Said it before but myself and quite a few others really struggle with the glare from the ridiculously low extra floodlights under the stands. Certainly putting me off attending floodlit matches. Was told the chairman intended lifting them to the main pylon levels last close season but of course it didn?t happen.

    I have that issue.
    Also the regular nightime motorway closures. M1 north was shut again after game Weds and had to rely on the sat nav to find me a way home up several pitch black country roads i?d rather not have been on. I?m still turning up midweek but it?s often a chore. I?ll certainly be checking the roadworks in advance next time.

    Unbelievable excuses for people not going, 9 games unbeaten last game won 7-2 and we can’t get 8000 and so many season ticket holders not going. Our support is shocking people were leaving in droves on 75 minute at 2-0. The players must think why bother when a town as big as Rotherham just isn’t interested. Let us wait for the so many big clubs near us excuses. Why should TS bother to invest when the people aren’t interested.

    My first game Wednesday night against Blackpool for 3 month's, due to my wife being
    a hospital resident for this length of time.
    I thought Blackpool were a yard faster, & had more hunger for the ball, plus played has a team,
    where has we gave away 2 silly goals in the first half, first goal Dawson not getting any cover
    from our defence, & then letting the ball go through his legs.
    The second goal we delivered the ball on a plate to Blackpool.
    I missed the third goal, after leaving to relieve my wife's sitter, who kindly oblidged to stay with
    my wife.
