Rotherham United boss Paul Warne has called on fans to turn out in force for Monday’s vital clash against Birmingham City.
The Millers need a positive result against Blues in their fight against relegation from the Championship.
Warne’s side saw their survival hopes dented as they were edged out by Swansea City in a thrilling 4-3 encounter on Friday which put them three points behind Millwall in the battle to stay up.
And he’s encouraged supporters to fill the New York Stadium as Blues visit looking to mathematically confirm their own safety.
"We can only control our game, we need to focus on doing that and see what happens elsewhere,” Warne told Rotherham’s website.
“I know that the weather is good, everyone has been encouraged to wear their home shirt, past or present, so hopefully the players will come out to a sea of red and that can help us get some points that we really need.
"If you have a Rotherham home shirt, come down in it, whether this season's or one from the past. It will really make the game even more of an occasion than it already is. We really need that extra home support."
What's happening at Blues?
Blues drew for the third consecutive match as they faced Derby County, twice taking the lead but failing to hold onto it.
"It will be another tough game against a good side,” said Warne. "They have obviously had points deducted so they are in a false position.
“They are still playing with fire in their belly, and I have to say I think that Garry Monk has done a great job in difficult circumstances.
"They have good quality throughout their side, so it'll be tough but again we'll be putting everything out there that we possibly can to ensure that we keep the fight going.
“We won't give up, the players have a real desire to fight and scrap for every last point, and we intend to continue with that attitude right until the end."
