Erimus74 5,267 5.4k Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 15/1/1955 Boro 5 Rotherham United 1 – The first fixture on Teesside between both teams. Rotherham, who have a decent record v Boro on Teesside will be the 22nd home fixture between both teams, with the following record Won - 8 Drew - 8 Lost - 5 For - 36 Against - 23 No hat tricks, only the one 4 goal haul v Rotherham 30/08/1961 - Alan Peacock scored 4 goals when we beat Rotherham 5-1 at Ayresome Park Home debuts/last game v Rotherham 17/9/1958 - Ernest Walley made his final appearance before moving to Crystal Palace in May 1960 – lost 2-1 9/9/1963 - Harold Kirk made his debut after moving from Ardeer Recreation in May – drew 2-2 12/03/1983 - Ray Hankin started his final Boro game at home to Rotherham in a 1-1 draw, Paul Sugrue scoring our goal, RH played one more, wearing No12, then he was gone We had an awful record v Chelsea & put that to bed, we have a poor record at home to Rotherham, no home wins since 2015, our last 3 home fixtures to Rotherham are 2 nil nil draws & a 3-0 home defeat, lets put this to bed too C'mon Boro! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus74 5,267 5.4k Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 Really looking forward to this game, starting the day off in the best possible way, a family breakfast/brunch in Baker street kitchens for my sons 27th birthday, then hopefully to dundas arcade to pop in & visit my mates Boro shop then off to the Riverside with a home win that COULD see us in the final playoff spot at the end of the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipBarrington 364 1.2k Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 Need to get the job done on Saturday then think about subbing people. We can lose on Tuesday and still be proud of what we have done - we might lose on Saturday and really regret it at the seasons end. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus74 5,267 5.4k Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 Rotherham at home is the only Boro match my wife has ever been to Back in Nov 2015 my younger brother passed away, he was a massive Boro fan, as big as anyone I would say A week later the 1st Boro game after his passing we played Rotherham on a tuesday night, I said as a family we should all attend the game together in his memory, wiith my dad, a ST holder, my son, daughter, son in law & sister in law all attended the game which Boro won 1-0, our last home win v Rotherham 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if the players didn't at least have the Chelsea game in the back of their minds. Just human nature. Totally agree. Don't get me wrong. For sure it will be. As it will be for all of us. Think I'm just trying to convince myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What little snow we had is thawing and temperatures are supposed to be nearing double figures for the weekend so I doubt there is any risk of it being called off.

TLF10 5,418 7.1k Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 Did not realise we had not beat Rotherham at home in over 8yrs. Since November 2015. Winless at home v then in last 3 meetings. That must change tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erimus74 5,267 5.4k Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 Remember going to their old groud when big Mal was in charge, we drew 1-1 with our talisman Heine Otto putting us one up, Alan Roberts making his debut coming on as a sub Rotherham equalised in the final minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
