League Cup 2nd Round Rotherham (h)

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Repeat of the first ever final

Also the winners of 1967 play the winners of 1969.

[Lambert and Payne]

Looking forward to Steve "Fatty" Evans coming down. Nasty patronising bully

[darren woolley]

It's a good draw for us.

Port Vale fan is gutted, if they'd have beaten Walsall then they'd be playing Stoke next.

[ozzjim]

I would like Rotherham at home please.

[Titus Aduxus]

I was hoping for Haysowen Town who would bring loads of fans.

[PaulWinch again]

Should be comfortable.

Actually they wouldn't because that would have changed the team number allocation with the balls. All other things being equal, they would have finished up away to Burnley and we would have been at home to Preston.

Halesowen.....Hailowen.....Haysowen.

Comedy genius.

Knocked us out of FAC4 at Villa Park 3-1 in 1968.

I'm afraid it wasn't that exciting,1-0 defeat and referred to by the character,Lennie Godber in 'Porridge', a 'Quiet Night In ',I think. Lennie refers to this game as an early example of disillusionment in his life.A comedy classic,the programme that is,the game was awful.

Exactly right, I was there and it was dire...

Lennie a Villan? Must have been why he was inside.

Thanks. I stand corrected. We beat them in the league 3-1 that season, which is what caused my confusion.
What I do remember is they had a player called Quinn, and Manfred Mann had been number one with `Mighty Quinn`. Rotherham fans in the Trinity enclosure were singing it continuously.

[The Left Side]

Have to be happy with that, but then again I thought that about Bradford.

That Rotherham 3-1 match - just noticed we fielded 8 Englishmen, 2 Scotsmen - and Davie Rudge who apparently didn't have a nationality...
