Rotherham United has launched a mascot draw for a junior supporter to lead the team out at their upcoming Sky Bet League Two match against Tranmere Rovers. The opportunity is for the midweek fixture at Prenton Park, the home of the Birkenhead-based club. The winner will walk onto the pitch alongside manager Alex Bruce and the first-team squad.
Tranmere Rovers enter this match sitting 4th in the League Two table with 4 points from their opening two games. Their record shows one win and one draw, with a goal difference of +2 after scoring three and conceding just one. They currently trail early leaders Barnet by two points in the title race.
The draw is exclusively for members of the Junior Millers, Rotherham United's official junior supporters' club. To be eligible, the child must be aged between 6 and 12 years old. They must also own a full current 2026/27 Rotherham United home kit to wear on the day. All entrants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the matchday experience. The club's Head of Supporter Services, Grace Scott, will contact the lucky winner after the selection is made on a Friday morning.
Entry requires filling out an online form with the necessary details. Parents or guardians must provide the child's name as it is registered with the Junior Millers scheme. A valid ticket purchase reference number for the match is also required for entry. The club has stated that any duplicate entries will be counted only once to ensure fairness for all applicants. This initiative is part of the club's ongoing efforts to engage with its youngest fans and create memorable matchday experiences.
