I try not to be too cynical about these things, but you do wonder if the club keep this information from us so that they get their 5% on ticket sales! Either that or the email was lost in the Xmas post...

Just has this email from Rotherham: I'd just like to inform you that the game against Coventry City is not all ticket. It was originally planned to be all ticket but a message was passed on to Coventry on Tuesday 24th December that this was no longer the case. If this has not been...

The only way out of this mess (that I can see) is for SISU to buy the Ricoh and sell it on. They will not walk away and hand the club over, but they might walk away and liquidate the whole thing. That would be bad no? I don't think they need the freehold, but I think they would take leasehold...

Yet it is less than Swindon which was 4 days before Xmas, the same sort of distance and the most expensive ground in the league - and also one we have been to a number of times before. The poor numbers to Rotherham are a bit baffling to be honest.

Fine. Your agenda (given that you oppose the idea of CCFC owning the Ricoh) is to force the club out of business. That is your stated preference, fine if you're honest about it. It's a bit rich though for you to use the term 'selfish' when you openly admit you want the club to die. Called me...

Yep, I changed my mind. It's allowed. Your final point makes no sense. Nobody would support the club is they stayed there. There is no franchise and never will be. We all want a return to Coventry asap, but that will only happen in one of two ways - SISU buy the Ricoh or the club dies...

Oh please. Selfish? What I do has no impact whatsoever on you or your feelings. What you do is up to you, you can go to Sixfields or not go, either way it will have no impact whatsoever on when the club returns. The whole thing is a disgrace that is not of mine or your making, so I will not...

Perhaps I'm just getting old. Do people still go out on New Year's Eve in a big way? Just had this game down for a nailed-on big following. We take 3500 to Vale but only 1000 to Rotherham? Ah well, I'm sure we'll still make a racket.

People are entitled to their principles, fine, I get that. Logistically it might be difficult for some, but for those who drive 34 miles is down the road really, and there were free coaches the other day so if people wanted to go they could. It's 35 mins away. I suspect people are staying...

To be fair, the Sixfields bubble does sound a bit more enticing than the pool of self-pity you seem to wallow in.

I don't think I've ever been this disappointed with a City away following. We got so much good press and positive coverage when we were taking big away followings (the fact we were taking more away than at home was very significant), but all that appears to have gone. Average at best turn out...

That was Dave Mapp wasn't it? Now he no longer covers CCFC I suspect that twitter account won't be updated anymore, could be wrong though.

Truth is, nobody is really doing anything. Not the people attending Sixfields, not the people sitting on their arse moaning, they're not making the slightest bit of difference. The only people who deserve any credit are those that stand on the hill, although there are so few of them that their...

Actually been told we've only sold 850 tickets so it will be 1000 at most, with up to 3500 going to Barnsley - a crap away trip we've made a million times before. Don't get it.

Way after that. That was 87/88 against Liverpool from what I can tell.

That's true for most I am sure (why risk it). Got my tickets, but my brother doesn't know if he can go until late on Tuesday. I have emailed Rotherham to ask them to clarify if tickets can be bought on the day. If I get a response I will post it here.

Every time a game is said to be 'all ticket' in the past couple of seasons you have been able to pay on the day - the only exception was the last game at Swindon (but that had a lot to do with the police I think). Pretty sure you will be able to get in, Rotherham fan I spoke to said they always...

It was just a general point I was making. And by boisterous I meant more high spirits, the sort of stuff most of us are not averse to at an away cup tie when we've had a few, I wasn't alluding to the potential for trouble because there won't be any. I actually spoke to PC Mapp before the...

Ah yes, I did recall hearing that. Some people will do anything for a quiet life ;)

The first part is fair, I'll concede. But I'm not sure where you get the idea that I feel persecuted. I really don't.
