Re the training ground

Maybe Jackett didn't leave just because of that but Warnock went on about it enough to make it an embarrassment and the national press has picked it up. On top of that we have constant shifts in direction from the chairman who now wants a big personality.

At lease in this statement TS does concedes that we have a nice stadium and cant do much about anything else in a hurry.

A little bit of common sense often goes a long way in Rotherham.

I agree ian. Talking up the club and its ambition after the promotion is great and good marketing...accentuating the positives, but like everything else it has to be tempered with realism which seems to have been lacking.

What I find most disappointing is, as Brad alludes too in several of his posts, that the club has consistently failed to build on success when it has been achieved starting with the 1980-81 3rd Div Champions win. Barnsley went up with us that year and built on their success and enjoyed the financial rewards to rebuild Oakwell, spending several decades in the Championship while we ended up at Don Valley after nearly going broke and having to go around with begging buckets.

Well so it goes, but is there any wonder when many of the footballing Rotherham public, support other clubs and shun RUFC even in the good times and with the draw of NYS, simply because they've seen it all before and know exactly whats coming.

Brad & I have been singing off the same hymn sheet for a while now. No real investment made in the club when the opertunity was there. We (Mr Stewart) should have been out there looking for investors to give us a REAL championship budget the day after the Wembly win. However we have lurched from season to season relying on low budget players has beens and the now defunct loan market. Well you reap what you sow. League one next season with a shadow of the budget received from the league for championship status and several sub standard players on wages far above what their on pitch talent deems correct.

Dont want to sound a complete doom merchant but with the above plus all the other "issues" within the clubs structure a further relegation will follow. League 2 with its even lower budget beckons I fear :(

 Thats the point T71, we should have gone looking for some when we were promoted to the Championship and our star was rising. No one with any money and or sense is going to invest in a club intent on self destruct

Sheff Utd training ground is on Firshill Cresent nr Northern General Hospital. Don't know how good it is. Just someone came on the radio on about our training ground, then someone else said Sheff Utd train inbetween some railway sleepers. I don't know anything about it. If you've got a manager whose made of the right stuff & players not pampered our training ground will do. Get right manager & players in they'll train on a ploughed field.

Investment only hope we've got is if Ron Hull increases his share. There's nobody else.
