Their history is here: https://afootballreport.com/wiki/rotherham_united_fc_history Ahead of the game selection boxes can be donated (at the ground) as part of the Mission Christmas Campaign.

When we come back for this 25-game period we have to be at that level every time now and there's no excuses. We'll go away now, have a bit of time with our families but we'll take our heart rate belts and do our running and keep on top of our fitness and come back raring to go.’ Pre the WCB they drew away 1-1 at Luton, with the Hatters equalising in the 90th minute. Their home form is played 10, won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3. They have two points more than us.
