Hundreds Of Rotherham Fans Told Their Player Who To Pass To - They Scored To Clinch Promotion

Hundreds of Rotherham United fans played a part in their side's 2-0 win over Gillingham by telling one of their players exactly who to pass to.

The Millers secured promotion back to the Championship on Saturday afternoon thanks to goals from Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Georgie Kelly.

With the clock winding down, Chiedozie Ogbene dispossessed Jack Tucker out wide and looked for support.

Ogbene then took one look at the crowd, who were pointing to Kelly making a late run into the box in unison.

The 25-year-old played it in for Kelly to smash home first time and the away end inside the Priestfield Stadium went wild.

Nothing is ever beating that, is it? Playing a part in your team sealing promotion. Great stuff.

Social media has reacted and they think fan interaction has peaked.

One commented: "We're all football masterminds aren't we?"

Another tweeted: "Fan interactions that contribute to something actually happening on the pitch is the absolute best football gets."

A third said: "This is absolutely brilliant. Love it."

While someone put: "Me every single time I watch the footy, even at home."

Rotherham finished second in League One, two points behind champions Wigan Athletic and one ahead of MK Dons who will now go into the play-offs.

Edmonds-Green opened the scoring just past the half hour mark after poking home Michael Ihiekwe's header.

Gillingham knew they needed at least a point to stay in the division and hit the bar in first half stoppage time.

Hearts were shattered late on however as Kelly fired past Aaron Chapman to send the Gills down.

Gillingham went down on goal difference despite Fleetwood Town's 4-2 loss to Bolton Wanderers.

They'd been in the third tier for nine years and manager Neil Harris was absolutely furious at full-time, laying out his plans for a summer clear out early.

He told Sky Sports in a fiery post-match interview: "We've got seven players under contract. All seven won’t be here next year, that I want or don’t want.

"Players are out of contract, some I'd like to keep the rest can go. We've not been good enough. The balance of the squad, the fitness of the squad, the standards have been a disgrace at this football club. It has to change."
