Yes and some Millers fans sneered at our ground after their visit. You should have heard them on Radio Sheffield.
So, everyone sneers at our ground. Even we sneer at our ground. I wouldn't want it any other way!

Can they afford to sneer having gone into administration for a second time with a partially completed stand?
And, to be honest, their ground, although bigger than ours, isn't much to write home about!
Exactly!
People moan that Eric dosen't spend money but at least you are safe in the knowledge that Stanley won't be going into administration.
People can sneer all they like the fact is Stanley have learnt the hard way from past mistakes and strive not to make them again.
Even if Stanley do get relegated back into the conference one day at least there is a club to support.
I don't think it's a brave decision by Rotheram,if they were run properly and didn't try to spend beyond there means they wouldn't be in this mess now simple as.
The point I am trying to make is more about the timing of the announcement, to take a ten point deduction at this stage when they were in a play off spot is a brave descision, ok they won't get relegated but they are not the first and won't be the last team that goes into administration. I appreciate the comments about Accy and the way it is run which is you cut your cloth accordingly and in this day and age is to be applauded. I think to survive on the gates we get is nothing short of a miracle and full credit to Eric & Everyone at the Club who keep us going forward.
but yet the timing is also impeccable, just as they reach 61 points, therefore the minus 10 points means they will be safe in this league at 51 points even if they lose their remaining games
Good point, it's called cheating. The idea of the ten point penalty was to make clubs think about how they are run. Nowadays they are using the rule to cheat. Wonder when the league will start issuing a 20 point penalty.
On the other side of the coin, while Rotherham continue as a business there are probably some companies who will go bust because of their action, the suppliers
Not looking too good for Rotherham.

Mind you, how many times have we seen this, only for clubs to be given an extension at the 11th hour? If it did happen, we'd lose 3 points.

IF Rotherham don't find a solution before this deadline and this year's records are explunged ( as Aldershot and Accy previously) we stand to lose 3 points.
What makes it worse is that Wrexham, Mansfield and Dagenham will lose nothing!
The points totals ( after the adjustments would be)
Mansfield have 39, Dagenham 43 Notts 43 Chester 43 Macc 45 and Accy 45.
Worst affected would be Rochdale who would lose 6 and Hereford would lose 4.
Mansfield could catch us and their goal difference is better. Also Mansfield and Dagenham are due to play Rotherham. Even if the situation is sorted are the Rotherham players going to be up for the fight?? Have they been paid??
3 points v Barnet is a must tomorrow

it doesn't say so but the club will see out the season as there are only two weeks left.
The hard part for them and any new buyer will be to continue funding the club over the summer without matchday income.
I really do hope they come out of this okay because it is a horrible thing for any fan to have to face, but, and don't take this way, it does annoy me that clubs are given every chance and then some to avoid the death knell when we had to wrap it up over a summat and nowt. If clubs can't balance the books they should face automatic relegation to a league where they can manage the innies and outies of day to day accountancy.

According to teletext this morning the buyers lined up for Rotherham have pulled out, it says they are on the verge of extinction and could be forced to close immediately,surely they can make it to the end of the season though - here's hoping they do or we lose 3 points and could be dragged right back into the relegation battle.
Surely, even if this does happen, we'd be safe anyway. We'd be down to 45 points, but Wrexham can only get a maximum of 43 points. But, because the Football League would be one club short, there would only be one club going down. So, we've nothing to worry about...have we?
this is where common sense should come in. With only one week to go until the end of the season they should be allowed, one way or another to complete their fixtures. If the players won't play cos they haven't been paid then get some local kids in or summat.
I would think the PFa would pay the players wages but it's the other expenses that would be a problem whereby suppliers have a good idea they wouldn't get paid.
I thought they had around 5 enquiries to buy the club ?
Apparently they did have 5 bidders but according to Rotherham's website, their administrators have received a demand from the current landlord of the ground that whoever buys the club has to guarantee that he will get certain benefits including free tickets, free advertising, free use of the clubs physio etc whether the club stays at Millmoor or not and this is what has caused the bidders to pull out.
