New club strip has community goal

The Millers’ new away shirt sponsor is the Rotherham Partnership which will see its slogan One Town, One Community used as the main logo on the team strip.

According to the council, the partnership is “an organisation that brings together Rotherham’s public, private voluntary and community sector organisations to work together to improve Rotherham”.

Coun Mahroof Hussain, the authority’s spokesman for community development said: “Football is at the heart of the community. The club does so much good work in the local area and by extending our support they will be able to further enhance their activities in the borough.”

Brian Chapple, the Millers’ community director and chairman of the Rotherham Partnership said: “This is a very positive move and one which have an impact not only on the club but on the wider community.”

No information was available about how much money had been supplied by the partnership to the club.
