A bit like bringing in extra staff at the bars and food places if there's a larger than average crowd. Thing is, that downpour wasn't forecast. If those grounds people had been employed by City, at our stadium, under the same circumstances, then you would be telling everyone that you had never seen such incredible sweeping action since the days of Franz Beckenbauer . Did Rotherham pull a few strokes? (pun intended) Yeah, probably. I can understand why people are unhappy about it, i'm not, it's fair game if you can get away with it, and i'd expect our club to do the same if we were ever in that position.

A bit of an odd analogy that


"Yeah, probably. I can understand why people are unhappy about it, i'm not, it's fair game if you can get away with it".


Well, we'll have to disagree on that one.
Are you really saying that when you rewatch videos which show a sprinkler in operation at halftime while already raining; the one guy with a broom by the advertising hoardings, casually strolling along with the broom raised off the floor, and of course, the one who was dragging the water back onto the pitch.. none of those scenes angered you?
