St Landrew Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 Hmm, 4 Premiership teams will be out of the competition after this round is played. This competition could be worth a real shot at. Semi-Finals anyone..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 We'll be lucky to beat Rotherham after that dismal effort today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 Rubbish draw. Long midweek away trip that we will probably end up losing. At least it's a new ground for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 Rubbish draw. Long midweek away trip that we will probably end up losing. At least it's a new ground for me. I don't think I'll bother. I went up to Millmoor the last time that they beat us. They play at the Don Valley Stadium now, I believe. It could have been worse. We could have drawn them at SMS.

The9 Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 I wish someone would tell the OS that Rotherham have moved to the Don Valley Stadium, I hope the team ISN'T planning on "making a long midweek trip to Millmoor"... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=10516 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 I wonder how today's team would have fared against the team that just beat Everton 3-0 at Goodison. A bullet narrowly dodged there I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 31 August, 2008 Share Posted 31 August, 2008 Not a good draw against Rotherham. Although not doing very well in Div 2, Wolves couldn't beat them in the Carling Cup. If Saints win, they will get little credit for it, on the basis that this is a team we should beat easily, and it might need at least 3 clear goals for some people to treat it as a good performance! Neither is the game likely to bring in much income from a 5,000 gate. All that can be said is that we should get past them, with the possibility of a better draw in the next round.

saintmorley Posted 1 September, 2008 Share Posted 1 September, 2008 i shall be back at sheffield uni then so shall be attending. just relised that they now play in a athletics stadium. shame i say. i was looking forward to the trip to a good traditional ground like millmoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because of the points deduction. They'd be joint top if they didn't start on -17. Agree that it'll be a tough game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHsaintsfan Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Very happy with the draw - one I think we can win! Father in law is a Rotherham fan so get regular news regarding their progress (or not as the case may be) Financially we look very sound compared to them although they have the makings of a decent team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 3 September, 2008 Share Posted 3 September, 2008 Just checked their official site only £10 for adults! When did they move to Don Valley? I remember that awful night in the FA Cup when we played Delgado - he missed hatfuls that night, we were kack too! Just checked my diary - and don't think I can make it due to business commitments! Why oh why Tuesday night? Lets make it Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff Saint Posted 3 September, 2008 Share Posted 3 September, 2008 Just checked their official site only £10 for adults! When did they move to Don Valley? I remember that awful night in the FA Cup when we played Delgado - he missed hatfuls that night, we were kack too! Just checked my diary - and don't think I can make it due to business commitments! Why oh why Tuesday night? Lets make it Wednesday! Moved in the summer. The owners of Millmoor want to re-develop it for their own commercial uses. That, coupled with them being broke, meant they couldn't afford the rent. A friend of a friend said he's got a ST at Don Valley and that is one of the most depressing places he's ever watched football. It's mostly uncovered and you're a mile from the pitch. I dare say the pitch is a bit ropey as they play Rugby League there as well. Still, a local game is a local game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintMike Posted 4 September, 2008 Share Posted 4 September, 2008 A good cup run would be good for the team's confidence even if it is against sides from a lower division. What worries me is the effect on the team's morale if we should lose to a side from a lower division. We have been discussing this on the new site.. http://ohwhenthesaints.forumotion.net/forum.htm Why not add your views there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted 11 September, 2008 Share Posted 11 September, 2008 Nothing on the OS yet about tickets as far as I can see. Am I missing something? Anyone have any idea about tickets?
