How this bunch of thugs and cloggers managed to finish above us in 2000/01 is one of the great mysteries of life (although in general terms I blame the poor quality of our performances, rather than praise Rotherham's). Their come-uppance is just around the corner.
Rotherham is near Sheffield - many people don't know that, and I think it might be of some help if you're going to watch Reading play there. On the other hand, if it wasn't for their football team I doubt if any of us would have heard of the town at all.
Some Rotherham information:
Record defeat - 1-11 against Bradford City
Last Reading victory - 3-0 in February 2003
Nearest station to ground - Rotherham
Trivia - behind the away end at Rotherham is a scrap yard containing many trains. Some of the trains there in 2000 were the same ones as were there in 1985! (Yep - still there in 2002.)
