I think West Ham won 2-1. Went with a mate whose a Millers fan. We went to Wednesday match on the Friday night then went down to West Ham on the Saturday. It was when they were last in the league above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the game - https://www.11v11.com/matches/west-ham-united-v-rotherham-united-31-january-2004-18564/ Yes we drew with Wycombe. A bit of a random game for sky to have picked back then when they barely showed anything below the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. We spent money on the kop roof in 1986, and re-profiled the terrace to bolt some seats on and behind pillars in 1993. We then extended the South stand and did a good job. But this was refurbishment and extension. Not actually building a new stand that I feel the kop could have been in 1993 and the West stand should have been asap after April 1989. Every other football league club has built at least one new stand in the last 30 years except QPR. It's nearly 60 years since we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a great Chippy just outside the ground ! So was I. They built a temporary stand - it was flippin' scary!!!
