I almost feel sorry for Blackburn fans on Saturday given the weather forecast. Almost.

How many are they likely to bring down?

Gillingham away is a real test of support... think they took over 1,000 to Plymouth which is a great effort.

I think I saw they'd sold in the region of 900 a few days ago. I guess they might end up somewhere near the 1500 mark - maybe a few are going to decide today due to the potential weather problems?

Having said that, even though we're expecting a bit of snow tomorrow, I'm not sure it'll be enough to call the game off. It won't be a pleasant day though!

We were put in the side stand when the weather was bad because of H&S, not sure that it would hold 1500 though?

The whole stand holds 2200, but they wouldn't do that for a club that brought a few down. No disrespect intended there, it's just the truth! A lot of clubs only get the corner block of the Gordon Road Stand (with roof!) these days rather than the open end.

In terms of the weather, it's not snowing/hasn't snowed in Maidstone so I would assume it's the same over the hill in Medway. Game on I reckon.

Well that's shit.

Basically nothing here in Maidstone, and by all accounts not a huge amount more in Medway.

Sorry Rovers.

Not the clubs decision apparently.
Local police and safety advisory people.
Bloody shame though

About 1,200 Millers. Not sure on the exact count.

Someone should tell Shrewsbury they're pushing for the top two.

1129 millers officially.

Probably coldest ive ever been at a football match, nobody was in the mood for singing and the goal celebrations were so tame.

Think you will be close with your 1200 guess.
Bloody freezing yesterday but cheered up by a better performance than of late.

NTFC to be congratulated for opening the bar after the game so that the 50 odd stranded Millers could keep warm until the replacement bus turned up.
Heard it was 11pm by the time they got home.

No idea how they got home from the drop off because there were no buses and very few taxis when we got home at 7.30pm.

We managed to share a taxi with a bloke going in the opposite direction, it was the only way we could guarantee getting one.

They talk about winter breaks, it can't work in this country because the weather is so bloody unpredictable.

The cold should make the goal celebrations more boisterous as it is an excuse to move around to try to warm up. As is chanting and therefore clapping your hands so warming them up.

Trust me there's no room between the rows to jump up and down, it's a danger to life to get past someone to go for a piss.
TBF though we were far too quiet, the team deserved much better, though clapping ain't so loud with two pairs of gloves on.

It's only your knees and shins. :bg:

Rotherhams support was among the quietest we've had at Sixfields this season, does that mean they lose points?

We are very refined of course but there did seem to be a lot of old goats there (myself included).
It's up to the young uns to sing loud, all my spare breath was used up blowing into my gloves.

They're all dead rubber now so I'm surprised anyone is turning out. Fair play to those that are. It was too cold and easy to get excited. Equivalent to a reserve team game with about 3 thousand silent home fans inside an airport's lost and found.

Crikey, we have sold 2,500 for the Valley and more tickets arriving tomorrow. That’s nuts.

How many more?

Will be almost as many Plymouth there as home fans. To be fair, it’s the closest to a guaranteed three points you’ll have all season.

The club website does not say, but you have to guess 500 or so. Last year our most guaranteed points were against Leyton who were down to a bare eleven fit, had an owner arguably worse than yours and guess what?
