EXCLUSIVE - Millers to move grounds
Last updated : 01 April 2006 By Bigrich.....
MillersMad understands that Rotherham United will be vacating Millmoor at the end of this season in a shock move which will take the club to the nearby Don Valley Stadium.
The Rotherham United reserve team have used the stadium a few times in the past and a partnership has been agreed.
The move will be for a minimum of a season while work is undertaken at Millmoor to construct new Millmoor Lane and Tivoli stands at Millmoor.
The Millmoor Lane project is obviously the more difficult as it will need stilts much like Bradford Citys as access will be needed down Millmoor Lane.
Transport links have been thought about, and with the Supertram also coming to Rotherham, a temporary terminal will be built near Millmoor on the existing rail tracks at the bottom of Millmoor Lane, with a stop bang outside Don Valley it is hoped that a deal can be done on the ticket prices, possible with a Track and Match season ticket deal.
It will be just like going to Brighton... Without the sea obviously..
