Rovrum away. Awful ground, easy to get to.

Plump tie is Nottingham derby.

Will probably go to it with little bro.

Great news as the ground is only 10 miles away.
Hopefully the floodlights will not go out this time!

No it's not, it's 180 miles away. Crap draw.

Plump tie is Nottingham derby.

Plum?

I might try and get up to this one too.

Awful ground, but oddly enjoyed going up there last year for the pre-season friendly.

 

[beaumontfox]

bah! I left my Take That bubble to find we've got a ground I've been to? pffffft.

Who gives a shit about the Notts Derby, we have a massive tie at Rovrum.

From a RUFC Site.

Looks like we are not too lucky in Cup games against Rovrum. We also lost to them at the Don Valley in the Johnstone's Paint as well.

RUFC - Quick Summary of Millers v Foxes Cup games
Rotherham United get to play Championship side Leicester City in the first round of the Carling Cup at the beginning of August, which will be the third time the two sides have met in this competition - with the Millers winning three games - one being over two legs.

The first time was in the first season of the competition when the Millers beat the Foxes 2-1, at Filbert Street, on their way to the Final

The last time was in the 1979/80 season when the League Cup was a two-legged affair and the Millers won both legs - 2-1 at Filbert Street and 3-0 at Millmoor.

So, on past performances, dare we say 'bring on Round Two`?!

We could ask for a repeat of the 79/80 season when we lost to Rotherham in the cup but then went on to win the league.

I'd settle for that..
