Rotherham please log in to view this image i/ˈrɒðᵊrəm/[1] is a large town in South Yorkshire, England, which together with its conurbation and outlying settlements to the north, south and south-east forms the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, with a recorded population of 257,280 in the 2011 census. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, its central area is on the banks of the River Don below its confluence with the Rother on the traditional road between Sheffield and Doncaster. Rotherham is today the largest town in a contiguous area with Sheffield, informally known as the Sheffield Urban Area and is as such an economic centre for many of Sheffield's suburbs — Sheffield City Centre is 5.6 miles (9.0 km) from Rotherham town centre. Early history[edit] Rotherham in the late Medieval period Iron Age and Roman settlements dot the area covered by the district, including a small Roman fort to the south-west in the upper flood meadow of the Don. Rotherham was founded in the very early Middle Ages. Its name is from Old English hām 'homestead, estate', meaning 'homestead on the Rother'. The river name was carried into Old English from Brittonic branch of Celtic words: ro- 'over, chief' and duβr 'water', thus 'main river'; a similar size namesake is in East Sussex, see Rother.[2] It established itself as a Saxon market town, on a Roman road near a forded part of the River Don.[3] By the late Saxon period, Rotherham was at the centre of a large parish on the Don's banks. Following the Norman Conquest an absentee lord held the most inhabited manor, Nigel Fossard (however today's city proper takes in eight outyling Domesday estates). The Domesday 'Book' or Survey records this lord of the manor with a Norman name took the place of the Saxon lord Hakon holding 20 years before in 1066 and was tenant of an overlord of hundreds of such manors, Robert de Mortain, the Conqueror's half-brother. The central assets at the time were medium in rank among manors: eight adult male householders were counted as villagers, three were smallholders and one the priest, three ploughlands were tilled by one lord's plough team and two and a half men's plough teams were active. The manor's other resources were a church, four loosely called 'acres' of meadow, and seven of woodland. Rotherham had a mill valued at an ordinary half of one pound sterling.[4][5] His successors, the De Vesci family, rarely visited the town and did not build a castle but maintained a Friday market and a fair. In the mid 13th century, John de Vesci and Ralph de Tili gave all their possessions in Rotherham to Rufford Abbey, a period of growing wealth in the church. The monks collected tithes from the town and gained rights to an extra market day on Monday and to extend the annual fair from two to three days.[4] The townsmen of Rotherham formed the "Greaves of Our Lady's Light", an organisation which worked with the town's three guilds. It was suppressed in 1547 but revived in 1584 as the feoffees of the common lands of Rotherham, and remains in existence.[4] In the 1480s the Rotherham-born Archbishop of York, Thomas Rotherham, instigated the building of a College of Jesus or Jesus College, Rotherham to rival the colleges of Cambridge and Oxford. It was the first brick building in what is now South Yorkshire and taught theology, religious chant and hymns, grammar and writing.[4] The College and new parish church of All Saints made Rotherham an enviable and modern town at the turn of the 16th century. The college was dissolved in 1547 in the reign of Edward VI, its assets stripped for the crown to grant to its supporters. Very little remains of the original building in College Street. Walls of part of the College of Jesus are encased within number 23 and Nos 2, 2A, 4 (later for a time Old College Inn, a beerhouse), 6 and 8 Effingham Street. Its fragments of walls are the earliest surviving brick structure in South Yorkshire and are remains of the key institution to Rotherham's growth into a town of regional significance. Sixty years after the College's dissolution Rotherham was described by a wealthy visitor as falling from a fashionable college town to having admitted gambling and vice. The history of Thomas Rotherham and education in the town are remembered in the name of Thomas Rotherham College.[ New York Tavern #1 of 5 Bars & Pubs in Rotherham please log in to view this image 14 reviews “Excellent drinking pub” 11/04/2015 “Cheapest beer around!” 25/03/2016 Map Cuisines: Brew Pub Pub please log in to view this image The kimberworth park #2 of 5 Bars & Pubs in Rotherham please log in to view this image 23 reviews “Amazing pub grub” 09/02/2015 “Nice pub” 05/08/2014 $ Map Cuisines: Bar Pub please log in to view this image The Ships Galley #3 of 5 Bars & Pubs in Rotherham please log in to view this image 1 review “... for traditional pub grub, such as h...” 26/06/2015 Map Cuisines: Pub The Cavalier #4 of 5 Bars & Pubs in Rotherham please log in to view this image 9 reviews “... enjoy , from pub quiz , game night ...” 03/09/2016 “... this traditional local pub and she ...” 10/06/2014 $$ - $$$ Map Visitor photos (2) Cuisines: Pub please log in to view this image The William Fry #5 of 5 Bars & Pubs in Rotherham please log in to view this image 2 reviews “God awful pub” 21/06/2015 “shame” 18/01/2015 image: http://www.qpr.co.uk/cms_images/commentary-rotherham-qpr-64064-3459433_613x460.jpg please log in to view this image image: http://www.qpr.co.uk/cms_images/640x480-rotherham64-3422086_464x343.jpg please log in to view this image MATCH PREVIEW: ROTHERHAM UNITED V QPR QPR will be looking to get back to winning ways on Saturday as we head north to face bottom of the table Rotherham United at the New York Stadium. The Millers are on a rotten run of form; you have to go back to August 20th for their last and only victory in a league campaign which has seen them ship 45 goals and lose 14 games. Ian Holloway will know his team head into this one as favourites but will have to guard against complacency as the R’s still search for some consistency in what has so far been an underwhelming season in terms of league performances. Rotherham will have to see a big upturn in results during the second half of the season if they are going to retain the Championship status which they gained so impressively back in 2014 when defeating Leyton Orient on penalties in the play-off final despite being 2-0 down after 40 minutes. Since then the reds have battled admirably to stay in a division with teams who possess far greater budgets than the Yorkshire side. In both season’s they have finished in 21st position which highlights the struggle they’ve had competing in this league but also the character and strength they have shown to fight for survival. But their continued existence in the Championship is looking bleak this term. They are already 11 points away from 2nd bottom Wigan Athletic and are currently without a manager. After Neil Warnock did wonders to keep Rotherham up last season, he left in the summer and was replaced by Alan Stubbs. However the Merseyside man was relieved of his duties after just 14 games following the side’s poor start to the season. He was replaced by Kenny Jackett but the ex-Rangers assistant was in charge for just 39 days and left the club at the end of November rock bottom. Stephen Pressley is the latest to be linked with what on the face of it seems a difficult task. Rotherham’s only league win this season came against west-London rivals Brentford but that’s not to say that’s been their only impressive performance at the New York Stadium. They were narrowly beaten by league leaders Newcastle and pushed Reading all the way before succumbing to a late goal. They’ve also earned credible draws against Bristol City and Nottingham Forest. TEAM NEWS QPR: Jack Robinson (hamstring) misses out whilst Steven Caulker (hip) remains sidelined. Sebastian Polter (quad), Pawel Wszolek (knee), Ariel Borysiuk (hamstring) are all doubts. James Perch serves a one match suspension following his red card against Wolves. Rotherham: Kirk Broadfoot remains on the side-lines and it will be a couple of weeks until the defender returns to first team action. This clash also comes too soon for Kelvin Wilson and Scott Allan but Lee Frecklington should return to the squad and so should former Rangers stopper Lee Camp. Predicted line up: (4-4-2) Camp, Fisher, Ball, Wood, Mattock, Taylor, Adeyemi, Vaulks, Forde, Brown, Ward. Key Player: Lee Camp - The 32-year-old keeper has been one of the rare shining lights for Rotherham this season despite their dismal defensive record. PRE MATCH TALK Ian Holloway: “They (Rotherham) have let too many goals in – they’ll know that and in recent games so have we! So we have got to be on our game, solid and strong. Their crowd will be right behind them. I believe in the ability that we’ve got. We have played well in all three games so far, but we haven’t done it for 90 minutes. We have stopped doing things, but we are fully aware of that.” Paul Warne (Interim Manager): “I watched them a few times. I spoke to someone who said they played three or four systems in the 90 minutes. I know Birchy the assistant really well and I know they'll be revved up. I expect an all guns blazing game. I'm looking forward to seeing their staff after the game but I hope we've won.” MATCH ODDS QPR win: 5/4 Draw: 23/10 Rotherham: 11/5 QPR first goal scorer: Idrissa Sylla 11/2. Rotherham first goal scorer: Danny Ward 9/2.

Good job Kiwi! I can go to bed safely knowing that this thread is in good hands. I'm on the 09:58 from St Pancras in the morning. 1st Class of course
How come you always get trips to exotic places? Surprised there isn't more female bare skin on show Kiwi. Otherwise, brilliant job. Well done.
Ran out of time fingy WiFi at home playing up so this was done at work when nobody was looking If the WiFi behaves later I might have a rethink
Interesting starting team selection. I agree that Smithies may be in goal. But I am concerned at the lack of width.
please log in to view this image So you decided to use my facebook profile picture in the end Kiwi? It's OK as I really don't mind mate!
Hard to see how we'd come back from losing today and I fear at least one defensive clanger, it's hard to have any confidence
We can't lose at Rotherham can we? If we do, fickle phucker that I am, I will be calling for Ollies head!!!!

On one of the shows, she was seen pulling down a young stripper's thong, and proceeded to lick his revealed penis.
