BRIEF HISTORY of the ROTHERHAM UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Rotherham United Football Club, nicknamed The Millers, is an English professional football club based
in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, that competes in The Football League Championship, the second tier in
the English football league system. Founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham Town (1899) and
Rotherham County (1870), the club's colours were initially yellow and black, but later evolved into
the more traditional red and white. Rotherham United play their home games at New York Stadium, a
12,000 capacity all-seater stadium, having previously played since its foundation at Millmoor for
101 years. Joining the football league back in 1925, Rotherham spent the first 25 years of their
time in Division Three North the lowest level of the Football league finally gaining promotion too
Division Two at the end of the 1950/51 season(Championship). They have never played in the top tier
of the English Football League system. The Millers featured in the inaugural League Cup final against
Aston Villa in 1961, and won the 1996 Football League Trophy. They also achieved two separate back
to back promotions in 1999–2001 and 2012–2014.
