History
The club was founded in 1877,[2] as Thornhill Football Club (later 'Thornhill United'), before, in 1905, changing to Rotherham County.[3] It joined the Midland League in 1903,[3] and stayed in that competition until it was abandoned for World War I. They won the Midland League title for four consecutive seasons, from 1911–12 to 1914–15 inclusive.[3]
After the War, they were elected to the Football League when the league expanded from 40 clubs to 44 in 1919. In 1925 they merged with local rivals Rotherham Town to form Rotherham United[3] who are still members of the Football League.

gollark: I think being annoyed about the dropping of a standard and useful I/O feature for dubious reasons is fair.
gollark: This is true. It seems like it's a pretty easy process on Google Pixels and stuff, but due to google bad you then lose the various payment things.
gollark: I think the best way to avoid badness is to buy a reasonably popular mid-range or old high-end phone and flash LineageOS or something, although that might take up time to do too.
gollark: For me, at least, it would be *worse* than a mediocre Android phone, since it would be more annoying to use ssh/mosh to access my server when I need to fix things, and generally worse to test things on portably.
gollark: I have learned by now that the bare minimum is not very good, having bought somewhat less RAM for my laptop than I should even though the price difference wasn't big and generated untold annoyance over time, but iPhones are quite far into diminishing returns territory.
