    I agree. The first ever time we played at their new ground we parked across from the shopping centre in the pay and display parking and walked to the ground. What an absolute eye opener it was.

    Sad state of affairs
    Funding from central government cut too
    Yet , people in these towns will vote tory
    Is it due to them having two cars and a small block weave drive protected by hideous iron railing fence complete with gold painted tips ?

    They don't vote Tory. In fact I believe Rotherham had the largest Labour majority in the country. Their last MP is inside, so he was a fine example. 13 years of Labour rule has done bugger all for towns such as Rotherham.

    Did you check the 'romanians' passports or was it an assumption

    Nobody in Rotherham (or Barnsley) votes Tory, well some do but nowhere near the amount to make a difference.

    Why would anyone choose to live in Rotherham or Barnsley?
