    Rotherham great rivals are Doncaster. They also hate Wednesday with a passion mainly because of the Wednesday supporters in Rotherham.

    There used to be plenty of animosity down that alleyway for the away end. Bricks and bottles of piss raining down from their fans on the terracing.

    Other than Leeds I’m happy when all the Yorkdhire Teams do well except when we play Themat them.

    I genuinely don’t think of them as rivals and never have.

    My first memories of football was a rivalry with Rotherham as we battled for the 3rd division title. Then again in 2nd division with Hunter vs Moore.

    Since then we’ve been more successful so I consider them with affection really. I have been genuinely pleased when they have been promoted, and i know some of their fans who have been the same about us.

    Like Paul Warne as a manager. Down to earth, tells it as it is.

    Would love to be in a division with them not below them. Hopefully now is the time!
