Wonderful Rotherham United

RNN Group works closely with Rotherham United: Staff events, graduation, exam support, advertising and this year (academic and football!) both have milestone anniversaries: RNN Group is 10 years old and RUFC 100 years old!

So let’s find out more about the wonderful RUFC and the Millers!

Rotherham United Football Club

Thereโ€™s something truly special about Rotherham United Football Club – something that goes far beyond results, divisions, or league tables. For every Millers fan, the club isnโ€™t just about football; itโ€™s about belonging, community, and heart.

From the roaring chants at the New York Stadium to the red-and-white scarves fluttering in the winter air, Rotherham United represent everything beautiful about English football – loyalty, resilience, and love for the game.

The heartbeat of a town

Rotherham isnโ€™t a huge city, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in spirit. The club is the beating heart of the community – a place where generations gather, where grandparents, parents, and children share the same dream: โ€œUp the Millers!โ€

The New York Stadium isnโ€™t just a football ground; itโ€™s a symbol of pride. Since opening in 2012, itโ€™s become a modern home for a historic club – one that still feels deeply connected to its roots at Millmoor.

Fighting spirit

If one word defines Rotherham United, itโ€™s resilience.

This is a club thatโ€™s battled through promotions, relegations, administration, and everything in between – and always bounced back stronger.

Time and time again, the Millers have defied the odds. Whether itโ€™s clinching promotion under Paul Warne, surviving against bigger budgets in the Championship, or rebuilding after setbacks, Rotherham never give up. That grit is what makes the fans so proud – because it mirrors the spirit of the town itself.

They may not always have the biggest names or the biggest wallets, but Rotherham United have the biggest hearts in football.

The fans: Loyal, loud, and loving

Ask anyone whoโ€™s been to a Millers match – the atmosphere is electric. From the North Standโ€™s chants to the passion behind every tackle, you feel it: that deep, unwavering love for the badge.

Rotherham fans travel miles across the country to back their team, win or lose. Theyโ€™ve seen it all – the glory days, the heartbreaks, the โ€œyo-yoโ€ years between divisions – yet they remain proudly behind their club.

Thatโ€™s the magic of Rotherham United: No fair-weather supporters, just true believers.

A club with class

Beyond the pitch, Rotherham United do so much right. Their community trust runs programmes for schools, youth development, and local well-being. Theyโ€™ve supported mental health campaigns, diversity in sport, and countless local causes.

This isnโ€™t just a football club – itโ€™s a force for good in Rotherham. The players often take time to meet fans, visit schools, and engage with supporters in a way that keeps the connection genuine. That authenticity is rare in modern football, and Rotherham have it in abundance.

The future is bright

The 100th anniversary and 2025-26 season feels full of hope. With a talented squad, passionate management, and a fanbase that never wavers, the Millers are looking to write another proud chapter.

Because for this club, football isnโ€™t just about trophies – itโ€™s about honour, effort, and pride in wearing that red shirt.
