    What makes a Miller continue to follow our team?

    Family induction?

    Followed my mates at the time and got involved ?

    It's my own town club so I've followed then anyway?

    Loyalty because you were born in Rotherham?

    Rotherham United are the best team you've ever seen?......sorry tongue in cheek.

    What I'm asking and more important to Tony Stewart, what drives you to still follow the Millers through THICK and THIN?

    Dad.
    Place of birth.
    Home town (just).

    If I moved I'd support the local team but will always be a Miller. TS has nothing to do with it, nor the players - all these things come and go.

    Wimpy = burgers

    He meant the bar where all the soft lads used to hang out.

    Despite all the money and hype around the game it's still the sport I fell in love with as a kid. Likewise, there will never be another club for me but the Millers, no matter how far we fall.

    Family induction/tradition ?
    My dad* took me to first match in the old league 2 13 May 1967 v Bury W 3-0
    Since then I've burdened by my sons and Grandsons with the Millers tradition

    * His dad took him to his first game in the early 1930's

    Followed my mates at the time and got involved ?
    No

    It's my own town club so I've followed then anyway?
    As per the song "Travelled far and wide ........."

    Loyalty because you were born in Rotherham?
