Rottherham United F.C. History

Rotterham United was formed in 1925. In 1931 they had to apply for re-election to the league. Immediately after the Second World War things looked up with United finishing as runners-up three time in succession between 1947 and 1949 and then were champions of Division Three (North) in 1951.

Rotherham reached their highest ever league position of third in the Football League Second Division in 1955, when only goal average denied them a place in the top flight.

The club held on to its place in Division Two until 1968 and then went into a decline that took them down to Division Four in 1973. In 1975 they were promoted back to the Third Division after finishing third.

The Millers won the division three title in 1981. Rotherham had a poor first half of the 1981–82 season but a surge after the turn of 1982 saw them emerge as surprise promotion contenders for the first time in nearly 30 years. This was the first season of 3 points for a win rather than 2 in the league, and in the end they missed out on promotion by just 4 points, finishing seventh. They were relegated the next year. By 1988, United were relegated to the Fourth Division but were promoted a year later as champions.

During the 1990s Rotherham were promoted and relegated between the Football League's lowest two divisions with some regularity. However, in 1996, Rotherham made their first trip to Wembley to win the Football League Trophy.

In 1999–2000 Rotherham finished as Division Three runners-up and gained promotion to Division Two. In the 2000–01 season they finishing runners-up in Division Two and gaining a second successive promotion to Division One.

Rotherham stayed in Division One for four seasons, their most successful of which was the 2002–03 campaign. During the 2004–05 season, the club spent most of the season bottom of the league and were relegated .

Early in 2006 it was announced that the club faced an uncertain future unless a funding gap in the region of £140,000 per month could be plugged. This led to the launch of a "Save Our Millers" campaign, aiming to raise the £1 million needed to complete the season. It was also estimated that another £1 million was required to complete work on the new stand. An eleventh-hour intervention by a consortium of local businessmen offering substantial investment and a new business plan averted a possible dissolution of the club.

In the 2005–06 season narrowly avoided relegation and were to start the following season with a penalty of minus 10 points as a result of their financial troubles.

At the arrival of the January transfer window, Knill sold stars Lee Williamson and Will Hoskins to Premiership side Watford for a combined fee in the ranges of £1.2 million.[4] However, losing their two best players took its toll on the Millers, who sunk back to the bottom of the table after winning only one match in three months. By the end of February, the Millers sat 13 points adrift of safety, making the threat of relegation almost inevitable. This resulted in Knill being sacked on 1 March, with Mark Robins becoming caretaker manager. Robins's position was made permanent on 6 April 2007,[5] but he was not able to save Rotherham from relegation.

The Millers spent the majority of the 2007–08 season in the automatic promotion places, winning eight consecutive league matches towards the end of the year. However, in mid-March 2008 it was revealed that Rotherham had again entered administration and would be deducted 10 points. This was accompanied by a drop in form and Rotherham finished ninth in the league. Towards the end of the season, it was revealed that local businessman Tony Stewart was to take over as chairman and club owner, but was advised not to exit administration via a CVA, meaning an additional points deduction for the following season.

Under new ownership they kicked off their first game of the 2008–09 season at the Don Valley stadium with a 1–0 win against Lincoln City. Ronnie Moore was reappointed manager in 2009. In January 2010 it was announced that the Guest And Chrimes site had been purchased and would be the new home of the club within two years with a new 12,000-seat stadium.
