About Rotherham United FC

Rotherham United FC is an English professional football club based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham Town and Rotherham County. The club is known as “The Millers” and plays its home matches at the New York Stadium, which it moved to in 2012 after previously playing at Millmoor for over a century.

Throughout its history, Rotherham United has mostly competed in the lower divisions of English football, frequently moving between League One and the Championship. The club has experienced several promotions and relegations, earning a reputation as a “yo-yo” team due to its repeated movement between tiers. It has also achieved success in cup competitions, including reaching the final of the League Cup in the early 1960s and winning the Football League Trophy twice.

In modern times, Rotherham has continued to alternate between the second and third tiers, with multiple promotion campaigns in the 21st century. Despite financial and competitive challenges, the club has remained resilient and competitive at Championship and League One level. Its recent history is marked by strong rebuilding efforts, managerial changes, and ongoing battles to stabilize its league position.
