Not mentioning names but this person has something to do with the club. Told me before the following home game against Bolton. What football reason can there be to change dugouts? Home managers take the dugout nearest were the majority of home fans are surely.

The thing is that the away dugout is now as far away as possible from the away end. They changed dugouts after the Tranmere home game, when the Tranmere bench was whipping up the away fans as they pressed for an equalizer and the whole bench cleared out to celebrate in that corner after they scored.
Personally, I think it might have had more to do with moving the away dugout than moving the home one. Warne is after all still in front of Millers supporters in the West Stand.
It really isn't a big deal either way. It is just being used as another stick for the Warne haters to beat him with.
Of all the issues we have playing at home which dugout we use is not that important. The lack of a decent footballing coach to sit in the dugout maybe a bigger issue
smiler & co will go to the limit to defend Warney. Check results this season I'm right again what I was told after Doncaster away game when our fans were shouting abuse at Warney. His wife was in with away fans she got involved. Week after against Bolton switched dugouts that was the reason. What else could it be. It's a disadvantage to me home dugout it's under the NW stand closer to our main body of fans in the North stand. We should be all as one management/fans. That's just a side issue. Main reason we aren't were we should be in the league poor recruitment. Formations & team selection not right. Playing injured players. Not bringing players through. Weak management won't make decisions old pals act playing same players who aren't good enough.
I would have thought the decision to change ‘dugouts’ is more to do with away managers putting pressure on linesman.
I agree. Our manager can neutralise the pressure put on officials by the away fans. At the other end, there's no impact that the away manager can have against the hoards of Rotherham fans hollering at the officials. Advantage Rotherham - makes perfect sense!
The last 3 away games we haven't played well and that is according to Warne and many fans. Yes we scored late goals to win two of them but it is fair to saying we are not on top form at the moment. Southend should be interesting it is a game we should win but a defeat and a lot more questions will be asked. For me I do not want to change the manager but I want the manager to change the things that many fans are seeing set pieces, simple things like throw ins, experience in midfield, his coaching staff, slow starts etc etc
Good point re linesman. On that side of the pitch the liner runs the half in front of where Warne & co now are. Doesn't fit the 'coward' narrative though so it wont be accepted by all as a fair explanation.
