Rotherham United is almost 100 years old,but when has been the best time to watch the Millers ?
I`ve been watching since the `70`s,and in that time we`ve had many promotions,loads of relegations,take-overs,and at least twice where we nearly folded completely.
We`ve had some great players,some absolute sh*te,and lots of very average players,some great managers,and some who didn`t know what they were doing.
I still think the best team I`ve seen was the `81 promotion team....Ronnie,Breck,Towner(of course !),Forrest,Stancliffe,etc,but maybe I`m remembering it with a bit of old-age rose-coloured nostalgia,not sure.
Some of our older fans will remember the `50`s and `60`s era,but for me the Millers Golden Era is right now,2021,you`re in it as we speak.
Here`s why.....
We have a local family who own the club,who also saved the club from certain demise,a man who clearly loves this club and won`t let us get in a financial mess again.
This same man gave us an amazing new stadium,something I thought I would never see,and it`s in town,not out on some industrial estate somewhere.
We have had a real rollercoaster ride since TS took over,but so many great memories,with many more to come,I`m sure,we also have a new culture at the club,a culture built on respect,fairness and hard work,the `Warne Way` if you like.
I love what the club has become,and I`m sure this will be the blueprint for many other clubs in the future,the days of nasty,bullying mangers will become a thing of the past.
So enjoy the now,the TS era is the best ever time to be a Millers supporter.
