Ok I’ve seen enough of SWFC fans belittling our achievement over the last week, so here’s a thread documenting your achievements over the past three seasons
#rufc
Spare a thought for Derby and Sheffield Wednesday fans tonight, who rather than watching Mbappe, Neymar, De Bruyne etc. will instead be glued to Luton v Rotherham
#RUFC
So to conclude, in the last 3 years you’ve spent £37m on players, lost at Wembley, lost on pens in the Playoffs, sold your souls to Thailand, paid stupidly high ticket prices, and all for what? You’re still in the same league as ‘tinpot’ Rotherham United
#rufc
#swfc
Wednesday fans support their club the way I support England; couldn’t care less about them until there’s a chance of glory once every few years, at which point I deck myself in clobber, try and get a ticket for a game and act like it’s the most important thing in my life.
Great scenes in the pub pre-game. Blades fans singing ‘you’re staying up’ at the Rotherham fans who reciprocate with ‘you’re going up’. Both sets of fans then join together for a rendition of ‘We hate Wednesday’. Very classy ahead of a big day in front of a sell out crowd👏🏼
#RUFC
‘F*ck the EFL’ sing the Birmingham fans, as they celebrate the goal from £6.5m signing Jota to seal survival in a league that they blatantly flouted the rules and got a slap on the wrist for. F*ck the EFL indeed
We’d not won in 43 away games at this level, yet 321 lunatics travelled from Rotherham to London on a Wednesday night (when you could watch on the red button) paid £33 for a ticket and sang their hearts out all night. God bless you all 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Top shithousery from the Millers fans today; someone finding out Derby had scored, letting everyone know, everyone going ‘oooooooh’ until the update appeared on the scoreboard and then the whole ground cheering 😂

After two promotions as a player and a further three as manager, defying bigger clubs with bigger budgets to create a team and club to be proud of, I think it’s fair to say that Paul Warne is still the one for Rotherham United

❌ Barnsley: relegated

Thanks for the memories, Warney 🥲

9 years, 22 goals, 3 promotions, 1 Papa Johns Trophy, a few TikTok dances, written off on numerous occasions yet still returned one last time to finish his Rotherham career with a clean sheet to secure Championship survival.
Richard Wood is magic 🎩

Following heavy rain and a pitch inspection, Saturday's Championship clash between Rotherham United and Cardiff City has been postponed.
Further details will follow in due course.
Fair play to Gianni Infantino and
@FIFAcom
for making Sheffield Wednesday play their game at Hillsborough tonight behind closed doors after one of their supporters racially abused Kasey Palmer last weekend 👏🏼
Was surprised just how wildly Wednesday fans celebrated signing two of our players this week. Then I pondered what each set of supporters have had to celebrate over the last 10 years and it made a bit more sense…
#RUFC
Just a quick hi to all the Wednesday fans sat at home checking the
#RUFC
and
#twitterblades
hashtags as we battle it out in the Championship this evening 👋🏼
Really hope we get something from the Luton game on Saturday. Partly to help our survival bid, but mainly to help our good pals Sheffield United over the finish line and back into the Premier League where they belong 😊
#RUFC
23 year old Rawmarsh-born Ben Wiles just scored the winner and captained his boyhood club to our first win at Bramall Lane in 42 years. It’s what dreams are made of.
#RUFC
Promotions, trophies, Championship football in a shiny new stadium; Rotherham are the envy of many a football club in 2023. That wasn’t always the case however. Put the kettle on and gasp in horror over the ultimate banter years era: Rotherham United from 2005 to 2012
#RUFC
🧵👇🏼
You spent an entire season singing about being on your way back, took a million fans to Wembley and still bottled it against a bang average Hull side that got relegated the following season anyway.
Bobby Madley refereed Sheff Wed v Southampton last week. Lee Gregory (who was already on a booking) scored and did this. It’s exactly the same as Onyedimna. Madley didn’t book him.
#RUFC
We’ve just gone toe to toe with the multi-millionaire champions-elect with a 22 year old keeper making his professional debut, a striker signed on a free from the League of Ireland and a 37 year old centre back who hasn’t started a game since New Year’s Day. What a club
#RUFC
Great scenes in the pub pre-game. Wigan fans singing ‘you’re going up’ at the Rotherham fans who reciprocate. Both sets of fans then join together for a rendition of ‘Que Será’. Very classy ahead of a big night in front of a huge sell out crowd 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

🏃🏻♂️ 193 appearances

His final goal was the winner as he captained us to our first win at Bramall Lane for 42 years.
All for his boyhood team.
Ben Wiles lived our dream.
#RUFC
To all the Birmingham fans in my mentions, as evidenced by the the songs you were singing in town before the game, the success of your season will once again be determined by how Villa get on in the playoffs. All songs about Grealish and Gabby 🤷🏻♂️
#avfc
Despite chucking £10m at Jordan Rhodes in January, you missed out on automatic promotion, and fell into the weakest playoffs in recent Championship history. You still managed to throw away a lead and bottle the penalty shoot out…on your own patch
A dramatic promotion, lifting big Papa’s trophy at Wembley, winning all three South Yorkshire derbies, the end of the Warne era and the beginning of Taylor’s, it’s fair to say 2022 was a good year to be a Miller.
Ladies and gentlemen, your pride of South Yorkshire…
#RUFC
Whereas we’ve barely spent anything, we’re owned by a Rotherham businessman, managed by an ex-player, supported by a backroom staff full of his old RUFC teammates, with a squad full of young, hungry and mostly English lads who are all mates. Oh and we won at Wembley. Again.
Over 1k Rotherham fans will make the 8 hour round trip to Southampton tomorrow, despite being in terrible form, losing all 5 away games so far this season, having no fit defenders and not winning away since November 2022.
We truly are elite supporters 🙌🏻
#RUFC
You’ve let Chansiri come in, throw away your history, plaster his name all over the place and turn your club into one big advertisement for his tuna company
Rotherham travelled to table-topping Burnley last night, in a game ‘Vinny’ Kompany’s side *should* win. With 20 minutes left the Millers were leading - this wasn’t in the script! Here’s 4 videos showing what unfolded next, and what we are up against at this level 👇🏼
#RUFC
The lowest wage budget
The lowest transfer fees
The lowest attendance
I’d like to thank everyone at
@OfficialRUFC
for giving us a season to remember. A genuine thank you to all the players/staff. Whilst we didn’t pull off the miracle, you made us love the club. And that’s enough
How many times your club has won a Wembley final over the last 10 years (not counted non-league).
Guess this proves once and for all that Rotherham are the third-biggest club in England. Case closed.
#RUFC
No hard feelings for Wigan as they are a solid team, but I found it quite galling when the 2nd goal went in and the ref wheeled away, whipped his top off, shushed the home crowd and kissed his Wigan tattoo
#RUFC
I know we won in the end so it doesn’t seem to matter as much, but I am sick to fucking death of this shit from referees in this league. Bielik, on a yellow card, does this, and the ref doesn’t give him a second yellow. Makes my blood boil
#RUFC
Hearing that Rotherham and Wigan players, both currently celebrating in Las Vegas, have been spotted at Caesars Palace singing ‘you’re going up’ at each other across the casino. Classy touch 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Hard to find the goals from last night so I’ve done the Lord’s work and clipped all 6 (six) into a <1 min video. Why? For those sweet sweet likes of course!

To capitalise on the goodwill between us and our pals Wigan, I shall be selling these half and half scarves on New York Way tomorrow evening. All proceeds go to me.

For anyone wondering why there isn’t much animosity between us and Sheff Utd, it’s cos there’s a history of helping each other in times of need.
They gave us Stephen Quinn and Jonathan Forte when we had no money, and we let them have Greasy Chip Butty when they had no songs
#RUFC
Hearing unconfirmed rumours that Darragh MacAnthony is suing all secondary schools that are giving out GCSEs based on predicted grades. ‘These kids were bound to perform better in the final couple of months of term!’ a furious McAnthony was overheard saying.
Thought Hull’s centre mid was superb today. Thinking they’d unearthed a gem I checked him out - ah, it’s Jean Michael Seri, the Ivory Coast international who Fulham paid £27m for a few years ago. This is what we’re up against at this level.
#RUFC
And at the end of it, Financial Fair Play means you can barely spend any more money for the next couple of seasons, so you’re stuck with this failing, ageing squad full of foreigners only there for the money. You blew your chance of promotion by bottling the playoffs. Twice.
Forestieri took the piss out of your club by refusing to play, and you begged him to come back, then pretended nothing had happened despite the sheer disrespect and contempt he has for you.
You even bent over and let Chansiri change your historical blue and white striped shirt without any backlash (and needless to say his name was all over it).
Rotherham fans, who haven’t seen their team win an away game since November 2022, are being charged £45 for a ticket to see if their £2m squad can get a result away at Leeds’ £150m+ squad in a Championship fixture. I think football may be broken.

Taken from Facebook.
Rotherham fans, referee Keith Stroud, paramedics, club doctors from both Rotherham and Birmingham and Rotherham General Hospital combined to save a life on Saturday. Incredible ❤️
#RUFC
OGBENE HAPPY AT ROTHERHAM CONTRACT EXTENSION, PRAISES ‘SPECIAL’ COACHES AND IS EXCITED TO GO TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL WITH CLUB
See, look how easy it is to make a headline from an interview. Journalists need stories, websites need clicks.
#RUFC
🤓 Got a great stat lads.
Since the beginning of last season, Rotherham United have conceded the fewest goals per league game in English football, conceding just 39 in 55 games.
Better than Man City, Liverpool and
miles better than the rest.
HIRE A DEFENSIVE COACH 😡
#RUFC
Josh Vickers in February:
✅ 6 clean sheets in 7 games
✅ Saved 26 of the 27 shots he faced
✅ 1 penalty save

44 years after Trevor Francis became British football’s first million pound player, Sam Nombe has become Rotherham United’s first. We are massive.

thought wigan were sound lads but then they turn up today with a manager, an assistant manager and a full backroom staff. why so serious lads? lmao it’s not the world cup is it

We’re officially taking more fans to Hillsborough than they brought to NYS earlier this season. Guess that finally settles the debate; we’re the bigger club 🤷🏻♂️

We can confirm that we have received a further 750 tickets in the Leppings Lane lower tier for Sunday's clash.

Sometimes the oppo will bring on a £25m winger and he’ll score and you just have to put your hands up and say, ‘Hey, the Championship is a really fair league with a great level playing field 👍🏻’ and then dust yourself off, go to Forest and see what their £13m winger is like
It’ll be strange on Saturday watching Rotherham play while there’s still a World Cup going on. We’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be a Maltby Main, Parkgate or Sheffield Wednesday fan.
