Millers deserve a TV date - Evans

Despite returning home and gaining promotion to League one last season, the SkySports cameras have yet to roll down New York way to televise a game, something that boss Steve Evans say the club deserves.

“There’s a lot of people in the game still think Rotherham play at Millmoor, Because of the exposure of League Two, if you’re in the Premier League or the Championship and in the south, you wouldn’t know what’s going on at Rotherham because there’s no focus on League Two."

“But what I would say is there are some fantastic people here, everybody plays a part, it’s a working class town and we’re a working class club.” Evans told the YP

Looking forward to this lunchtimes Capital Cup second round draw, the gaffer is hoping for a tie to whet the powers that be at Sky's mouths.

“We want to be at home in the next round, it doesn’t matter who we play but the bigger the club the better, Maybe the cameras will turn up and watch us, because it should have been a camera game tonight.

“We don’t seem to be getting that. If this stadium, if this town, if these people aren’t worthy of a live game then I don’t know who is. This football stadium deserves television coverage. The games we have played so far dictate the cameras should be here."

“All those decisions are made independently and honestly, but we have to believe that if we draw the right type of opposition, and I’m sure this result will be known to the people that pick the games, then hopefully we will get what we deserve. We just need the luck of the draw for that to happen.” he added.
