FA Cup 3rd Rd Draw - Rotherham (H), 2pm Sunday 6th Jan 2019

[xgorton]

Rotherham was my first away match under George Poyser. I went on a Football Special which turned out to be a complete nightmare. Still City won, 2-1 I think.

My only other visit to Rotherham a couple of years later when Colin Bell scored in a 1-0 win. That was a rather significant result.

Didn't make them but went to Millmoor between them seasons 64/65 0-0.

Sorry if i have missed confirmation on here,but everywhere I look this morning including the city website in the fixtures section this appears now to be a 3pm Saturday kick off.

Why would either of them go to London?

Or on the Monday?

Utd are at home on the Saturday, and with City playing on the Thursday, as well as potentially the Wednesday afterwards (League Cup), it had to be Sunday, I think.

Slightly off topic, but I’ve always been fascinated by that 64-65 campaign as despite the well-documented poor home attendances, our away following appears disproportionately high.

For example, Huddersfield Town recorded their highest attendance of the season against City, just a few weeks after the notorious 8,000 v Swindon at Maine Road.

It was a similar situation at the Baseball Ground, where aside from their home fixtures against the Top Two (Coventry and Northampton), the crowd against City was considerably higher than nearly all the other games.

Even at Rotherham, the crowd for the 0-0 was one of their biggest, and only a thousand less than the promotion game the following season.

Was that how if felt at the time, or did you sense that you were the only City fan inside Millmoor?
