You have just proved that Sheffield Wednesday are by them winning most of your categories. Rejoice. Hardly, there are a million more categories that can be found and analysed, in fact it wouldn't be too hard to 'prove' any of the teams to be the best. That's the point of statistics, and the point of my post. Aint my fault it was so over your head

I’ve had enough! It’s mainly debating with Owls fans that have driven me into a mindless hole in the ground putting Rotherham down, but lately its started with Blades fans. Whether it’s the amount of success they have been having lately, if you could call it that, they don’t focus on the main aspect of Football!
The main thing we get put down for is the ground. We all as fans, long term and short term, know the “stadium” has been the way it is now for years. We all know that we aren’t going to have a new stand any time soon, or have major structure developments. All that I can see happening to the ground is the Tivoli being all seated as it has to adjust to new rules that will come in, sooner or later, probably down to safety. I see this as a bad thing as it will ruin on of the historical ground of football! You don’t find many grounds like ours, which makes Millmoor unique to be in division one. Another reason is because of the strict safety rules that now apply to football stadiums means the capacity is a lot smaller than “the olden days”. You used to be able to fit 24,000 to 25,000 supporters in Millmoor, now the capacity is as low as 11,500, which I think is the third or forth smallest capacity in division one. If the Tivoli is all seated this means the capacity will drop dramatically.
Another reason we get picked on is the lack of supporters. Since last season our average attendance has dropped from 7,000 to 5,000. This is partly from major competition from other local south Yorkshire teams mainly Sheffield united and Wednesday. The only reason the people of Rotherham flock to these clubs is because of reputation. Yeah, yeah, we know, Wednesday is one of the biggest clubs in England and were once in the premiership, but now they are sinking down, down, deeper and down. If I so rightly call they are now in division two with half a youth team and one decent player with a reputation as their first team. Of coarse the story with Sheffield united is their success from last season getting in the play-offs etc. I don’t know about you but I’d much rather have 4,000 LOYAL Rotherham supporters singing their hearts out over their beloved team than 11,000 supporters pretending to be fans and not shedding a tear when we scoring in the dying seconds of a game against Arsenal to level. Glory supporters, who needs em? You won’t find any glory Rotherham fans that’s for sure! This is what does my head in, people who know absolutely nothing about football but manage to put down a team that is doing much better than them!
The one aspect that people seem to look through is what really matters, what Rotherham has achieved. 6 years ago most people would never have heard of Rotherham united. Now, with two consecutive division titles under their belts, had legends such as Scott Minto and Shaun Goater play for them, also a manager that must be one of the greats to have stepped foot on a football pitch! With youth players coming up through the youth team that have a great future ahead of them, Will Hoskins and Lee Whittington, who has played in the youth team since he was 15 now 16 I should guess. Paul Hurst who has played for the millers over a decade! Past and present internationals for England, Ireland, Wales and Jamaica. Scores against Southampton and Arsenal that are hard to believe. You can hardly say we have nothing.
All I can say is people like that should think about what they are talking about before they go around shooting their mouth off about rubbish that goes by nothing.
I hope I’ve made my point.
A millers for life not just for christmas.
you asked........
