Tony spoke to themillers.co.uk and looked forward to the upcoming season while thanking the fans.
“First of all I would like to thank each and every one of you that have chosen to join us again in the new season at this early stage, The uptake on season tickets over the summer has been very encouraging, as it has been every year that we have been in this stadium and there is a real air of optimism building around the place as Paul Warne continues to prepare for the new season."
“The backing has been excellent since I took over the football club and this year has been no different, I am delighted to know that so many Millers will be returning to support us and that there will also be plenty of new faces on the terraces next season."
“We have already learned of our opponents for the Carabao Cup and it promises to be an interesting encounter when we take on the newly-promoted Lincoln City. Like everyone, I am eagerly anticipating the release of the full league schedule on Wednesday, which is when the excitement of the new campaign will really kick in.
“I can assure you that work is continuing on a daily basis to identify and bring in new faces, with Paul Warne and his staff speaking constantly with the recruitment team. I would like to welcome Michael Ihiekwe and Darren Potter, who are the first two players through the door and I am sure it will not be long before more of our summer targets join them in putting pen-to-paper with us.” he added.
