Don't want to worry you, but have you looked at the weather forecast for Rotherham for Thursday evening - seriously!
70% chance / coverage of light rain from kick off onwards... (according to the Beeb) Odds are, if we are winning at half time they'll be bringing on the Green Goddess' to "water" the pitch again..... Maybe we should offer to take our ground-staff up with us too? Just in case they need some extra hands at half time given that their entire staff consisted of about 4 people, 50% of which couldn't grasp the concept of brushing water AWAY from the covered areas....

It would be brilliant if our fans all took umbrellas and opened them at kick off. A unique away end. Our version of the Poznan reverse bounce.
Matchday threads, now weather forecasting. Is there no start to this man's talents? We'll need to rename you DrizzleBluebird. Getting my coat? Better make it a mac.
Be even better if we could have them labelled with letters to spell out "cheating b@stards" Instead of the Poznan it would be called the "it pours mun" And Remote - the only Mac I'm likely to pick up would be a Big Mac!!
Updated forecast. Rain lashing down in Rotherham tonight as well. Hope the groundsman knows which way to sweep the water!
And they switch off the sprinklers!!!! BT just called. He and his biker mate having lunch at Burton. Not raining there yet.
Cheers Irish. That was quick. Probably the best starting 11 available with reasonable midfield and striker options on the bench. Hope no defenders get injured.
I see Hugill and Pelts have both been passed fit... as has their star man Rathbone... who was very absent during the first game from memory..... They arguably have a much stronger squad this time around, let alone starting 11!! Hope we pi$$ all over them tonight.... C'mon City!!!!!
