I was transfixed and that was the moment I fell in love with the Millers.
The addiction is still as strong even though I'm now 70 😊.

Plenty of highs and lows over them years, i could write a book thicker than BIBLE on the adventures of following RUFC over that period. So my aim in life now is to one day in the future be the oldest Miller still attending games LOL. U.T.F.M.

That might have been going since you 8 Archie but that still not paid to go in !

Any way back in sixties tha used to spend all yer time playing football at back of Railway End in corner before they built Gym ! Only interrupted when we scored a goal and then back to football.

Well done Archie, get that book written!

Only became a regular myself in 1968 so just a youngster really.

Condoms? Didn't you just used to buy one and wash it out back in those days XD

Well done all you die hard Millers. Proper respect but just think of the highs, they mean so much.

It must be so easy supporting teams like Man U, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool when winning games is habit forming.

Supporting a club like ours when over the years we probably have expected to lose more than win.

That said my first season was 80-81. Made it easy to get hooked. What an introduction hey...

38 years a Miller, although the day I was born it was always going to be the Millers for me.

Thanks Dad, I really mean that. Loving the ride, long may it continue xx
