Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart says the club must dream the impossible and target Premier League football

Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart says the Sky Bet Championship club must dream the impossible and target the Premier League.

Currently sitting 19th in the table, Rotherham welcome Stoke to New York Stadium on Saturday evening - live on Sky Sports Football.

Rotherham have competed in the Championship in four of the past five seasons, but have never played top-tier football in their 93-year history.

Asked if reaching the Premier League was the impossible dream, Stewart replied: "Talk to Huddersfield. Talk to Barnsley. When Huddersfield went up, we were spending the same amount as Huddersfield at that time, they went north, we went south.

"It's not just about money. It's about being able to maximise what you can do. There's an element of luck - in anything, in life - but I think [it's about] getting the right people with the right attitude to pull together, not just on the pitch but off the pitch.

"I've had 10 years. I'm still learning but I have learnt a lot.

"Yeah - the 'Utopia', the 'El Dorado', the 'Promised Land', as they say. It's a target. Like all targets in life, even though it may seem to certain fans impossible, we have to try and dream and make sure we can make the impossible possible."
