The first team friendlies are rounded off with a trip to Mansfield on Saturday 30th July.

Thorpe Returns to QPR


Tony Thorpe has returned to QPR after completing his one month

loan spell with the Millers, in which he scored one goal in five games. This unsurprisingly did not match his career record of one goal every two games!


Juniors Win Youth Alliance Division 2


The official site reports that the juniors have finished top of the Youth Alliance Division 2 after a 1-0 win at Doncaster Rovers last Saturday. Sam Duncum was the scorer.


Shareholders Meeting Tonight


Tonight Rotherham United shareholders will meet and get the chance to give a major financial boost to the Millers via the rights issue. Shareholders have the opportunity of purchasing additional shares on a 3:1 basis which aims to raise £600’000. This figure coupled with the RUST target of £300’000 will ensure the stand project goes ahead.
