Rotherham players seemed to have hit a few "divots" at Hillsborough over the years.

Was different back then home side weren't getting crowds they're getting now & we didn't take that many. Not certain on this but wasn't game on New years day or very early January?

Or maybe Boxing Day ?
Remember going on a footy special from masboro to wadsley bridge, think that might have been a Boxing Day, might have been the Mcbride game too. Long time ago.

Sheffield Wednesday 0 Rotherham United 1, December 28, 1982.
Joe McBride provided the perfect belated Christmas present for Millers supporters, with a bizarre winning goal at Hillsborough in front of a holiday crowd of 25,024.
The decisive moment of a scrappy goal came in the first half when Bob Bolder looked like beating McBride in a foot race following Gerry Gow’s ball forward.
But the ball evaded the goalkeeper in comical fashion, with McBride able to nab it unhindered before tapping it into the empty net.
