GAME OF THE CENTURY 💯 What a day. What a community. What a club. ❤️🤍 The Game of the Century was everything we hoped it would be and more. Bringing together Rotherham legends, supporters, volunteers, partners and the wider community for an unforgettable occasion. From seeing Neil Warnock back in Rotherham alongside King Ronnie 👑 and Breck, to the incredible atmosphere created by everybody inside the stadium, the day was a true celebration of football and community spirit. Most importantly, together we raised an unbelievable £58,500 for us and Rotherham Hospice. We want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who played, volunteered, supported, sponsored, donated, shared content, bought tickets and helped make the event possible. Events like this show the power of the Rotherham community when we come together. Special thanks to our friends at Rotherham Hospice 🤝 we are proud to support the incredible work you do for local families every single day!
