A few interesting things about Rotherham: Their most famous fans are Paul and Barry Chuckle (aka the Chuckle brothers), although sadly only Paul is still with us. Many of us that grew up in the 90s would have watched them in Chucklevision and their catchphrase “to me…to you” is in the British psyche. It’s difficult for 2 people to move a big and heavy object without uttering those words. Arguably Wrexham’s greatest ever day came against Rotherham in 1978 when we beat the Millers 7-1 at the Racecourse Ground to secure promotion to the second tier for so far, the only time in our history. The last time we played them was in 2007/08 in league 2, we lost 1-0 at home and 3-0 away. They played at Millmoor until 2008 until a dispute with their landlord Ken Booth meant they were homeless and forced to play the Don Valley stadium, which was an athletics stadium in Sheffield. They were deducted 17 points from the start of the 2009/09 season, just like Bournemouth but manager Mark Robins (now at Coventry) did well to steer them well clear of relegation. They moved into the New York Stadium in 2012 and won promotion in their first season there and been mostly yo-yoing between league 1 and the Championship since. They might not have started the season as well as they hoped but there’s still time for them to turn it around and make the top 6. Manager Steve Evans has won promotion with them from league 1 before. Jonson Clarke-Harris is prolific at this level from his Peterborough days so we need to watch out for him.
I'm not on X. Do you have any other platforms or channels of communication I can contact? I don't plan on joining X anytime soon as I have a strong dislike of Elon Musk and his political views.
No Rocky Horror Picture Show!?! Dude, you have been missing out!
I am sorry Denise. If it helps I have seen Tommy. I also have been to a live viewing of The Room. 😂
