Not a great deal to go on for me personally. We've seen a lot of each other in recent years but the standout game for me is the League Cup match at Ewood in 2002.

Blackburn Rovers were an established Premier League club. Not to mention former Champions of England just six years prior to this encounter.
Rotherham were in the second tier doing what we always do at this level - trying to stay up.
It was a big game for us back then, and a rare chance for our supporters to visit a Premier League stadium.

In the days leading up to the game, manager Ronnie Moore had challenged his 'golden generation', players with Premier League aspirations - Alan Lee, Chris Sedgwick, Andy Monkhouse, Mike Pollitt - to prove themselves worthy of those aspirations against genuine top flight opposition for a place in the quarter finals.

Our little group set off mid afternoon, just five of us in a car, and got there early. Parked in a pub carpark near the ground and spent the next three hours drinking. As the pub filled up with Rotherham fans, the atmosphere grew, as did the belief that we were going to in the quarter final draw.

Well oiled, we went in the stadium around 15 minutes before kick off and quickly realised this was not a big game for Blackburn. The thousands of empty seats were evidence of that. "Maybe if the fans don't care, the team won't care either" I hoped, as the teams came out.

Thankfully the three hours of pre match drinking has blurred my memory of the game, and took the edge off witnessing Blackburn tear us a new @rse hole in the first half. 0-4 down at half time, the best we could hope for was a consolation goal or that Blackburn took pity on us and didn't score anymore goals.
We ended up with the latter.

Our supposed Premier league wannabes were dealt a brutal lesson in which they learned they were no where near the mark. Only one of that group would go on to play in the top flight - Mike Pollitt, at the ripe old age of 38!

I never thought at the time that this would ever be a regular league fixture, certainly not a League 1 fixture as it was last season. Probably more a case of how far backwards they've gone rather than how much forward we've come.
