Have to confess I haven’t been to Brisbane Road since the final match pre COVID break (v Cambridge). At 100 miles away I’m never going to be a regular, I work full time – four days a week from home, one in office – and have plenty else to do. I caught so many of our games on TV the season post COVID break, and a fair few since, so have contributed my streaming tenners regularly to the club.

I prefer the old Orient TV and Dulcet Dave to the new arrangement, but will stream the game on Tuesday as have signed up on Now TV. The cost is significantly less for me than getting down for the game, fuel cost plus food and drink beforehand, not to mention the time savings. I think the new TV deal is never going to encourage those of us who don’t live close. But for the record I have tix for the Mansfield game next month and am looking forward to being back. Am coming down with a mate and we’ll enjoy a couple of pubs and food beforehand, and there’s nothing quite like being in the ground and its atmosphere - but hope the team will be really giving it a go by then!

It would certainly be nice to get one over our old ‘friends’ Evans and Raynor.

Realistic!
Why give up hard earned money for such poor ‘entertainment’?
Because you’re a fan that supports the team through thick and thin?
Or not
We go to be entertained. It’s boring. I want to see 100% effort. Nobody complained when we lost earlier in the season because we saw effort and entertainment. I already know Tuesday’s result. We can’t score and we haven’t won at home. 0-0 is the best we can hope for.
Totally agree.

Doesn’t Wellens have a pretty poor record against Fatty Evans?

Good luck with your eye surgery whenever it takes place.
Moorfields are amazing and have great aftercare.

We beat Stevenage last year at their place playing hoofball. I don’t think he had left by then?

Also yes, I believe that was RW's first win against Evans by playing him at his own game

I have watched Rotherham twice on tele and convinced that Evans will get his team to bully us like he did at Stevenage. With the players they have and money spent they are in a false position. We won’t be given time and space to play tappy tappy football across the park.i cannot see us scoring against them . If they score first it will be game over.

I have to agree with you . In my opinion this game has got 2- 0 to Rotherham written all over it. I think we’re in big trouble this season

Throw insults if you wish (I care not), but for me, this is the time the club, and more pertinently the team, needs our support

If everyone chucked their toys every time we lose a few matches the ground would be empty, and there wouldn't be a club to support.

I will be there and doing my best to support the team from the TJS...

McCart didn't play, no Clarke-Harris upfront was a bonus too, glad we made the most of the opportunity
