RotherhamUnited v Preston North End New York Stadium 1/1/2019

Sydney, Paris, London and New York, wonderful places to start the New Year I have ben told, tomorrow I get tostart the New Yar in New York(Stadium) in that wonderful area of Britain commonly known as Rotherham.

There are worse places to be at the start of the year but not the most sexy places to go. Last time we rocked up there cruised to a 3-1 victory with McGeady giving their full back an absolute roasting, he was so bad we signed him, hello Darnell.
The Merry Millers have done reasonable well this season although they have tended to draw a lot of games, at the moment they are bottom of the form guide with two points from the last six games, on Saturday lost 1-0 to Bristol City although heroically nearly bagged a point even though they had two sent off, Jones and Towell. Reverse game ended 1 all and in fairness they didn't look that bad a side.
As we are in South Yorkshire there will no police to be seen they will be giving seasons greetings to Sir Cliff Richard.
Credit to the Millers on the price of this one costing me £20 less than my trip to Hillsborough 10 days ago.
Rotherham United Football Club, nicknamed The Millers,[1] is a professional association football club based in RotherhamSouth YorkshireEngland. It competes in the Championship, the second tier of the English football league system, following its promotion from League One in the 2017–18 season.
Founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham Town (1899) and Rotherham County (1870),[2] the club's colours were initially yellow and black, but later evolved into the more traditional red and white.[3] Rotherham United play their home games at New York Stadium, a 12,021 capacity all-seater stadium, having previously played since its foundation at Millmoor for 101 years. Joining the Football League back in 1925, Rotherham spent the first 25 years of their time in Division Three North, the lowest level of the Football League, finally gaining promotion to Division Two at the end of the 1950–51 season.[4]
The Millers featured in the inaugural League Cup final in 1961,[5] and won the 1996 Football League Trophy and 1946 Football League North Cup. They also achieved two separate back to back promotions in 1999–2001 under Ronnie Moore and 2012–2014 under Steve Evans.
Again we will be down to the bare bones as our new signing whenever he does sign Josh Ginnelly cannot play tomorrow, be highly surprised if we are as good as we were on Saturday suspect this could be a very tired performance for both sides
