...... have gone into administration (again) and taken a 10 point deduction. It hasn't affected us but bloody Morecambe move ever nearer the play-offs!
 
was just gonna post that till i saw yours Macca, it just goes to prove how tough it is in the F.L. when the finances/ budget aint managed right, perhaps some here should reflect on that before bitching?;)
 
Too right cashy, its a very harsh business is footy, makes you realise how far we've come:)
 
Yes and they play us a week a Saturday

Like Stanley no doubts they'll raise their game for this one but unlike Stanley I think they'll get beaten and onwards & upwards

Could this be our first season finishing above Stanley after gifting em 6 points? THINK SO!
 
From what I have read re the situation at Rotherham, I think it is a very brave & honest descision by them particulary as they were still in the hunt for the play offs:)
 
Why is it a brave decision? They can stay in this league & avoid paying their debts - again!
How many times is a club allowed to do this?
 
Right on the money, AccyMad! The brave and honest clubs are the ones like Stanley who live within their means.
 
I still think to take the 10 point deduction now is a brave & honest thing to do! I don't know if they could have held out till the end of the Season but if they did and then got promoted via the play offs at Wembley with perhaps a cash windfall from doing it to pay off debts, doing it this way is the harder option and more honest approach, Good Luck to Them!
 
Rotherham have seen youth coach Mick Priest, groundsman Bill Corby, and Customer Service manager Carol Rockett leave the club.
Priest left for 'personal reasons' while the other two are being made redundant by Administators.
Corby is a three time Groundsman of the Year at the Football League awards.
The Administrator has revealed that the club has a £1.1million playing budget set on 4,500 average gates.
Their average is currently 4,287.
 
It boosts Chesterfield's chances of getting the play offs so that they will have all the encouragement they need against Stanley.

No, the harder option and the honest approach is not to spend money you haven't got, even if that means having a basic ground that other fans sneer at and struggling along with a team who are paid the lowest wages in the football league. Perhaps you wouldn't think Rotherham's approach was so praiseworthy if you were one of the creditors who was set to receive xxp in the £.
