Rotherham United Football Club used to play at the now abandoned Millmoor stadium. They currently play at the much newer AESSEAL New York Stadium.
I met a Rotherham fan called Dale on the street who showed me around Rotherham's creepy, abandoned stadium.

Let’s go 🙏🏼
Started watching this 5 seconds after you uploaded it…..
Absolute LEGEND! Thank you so much for the support!!!
Just watched elland road vid I'm one of those wierdos who just walk around the stadiums and never go in, dreading goodison going, never got over Wembley going or Highbury or ninian park even Maine road s**t atmosphere but good ground. People dunt hate stoke cos ov pulis that med me laugh.
Why do you support Liverpool? Everton are the catholic Irish club.
You're clearly southern why not support you're local team, I don't watch motd or qeaust just look out for Barnsley score that's all I care abart bfc
I don’t think Dale ever went inside Millmoor any local knows Millmoor lane was for away fans
@@FootyAdventures Charlton Athletic are playing them today (my team) and we are playing there so it will be packed
@@FootyAdventures if u ever come to accrington, ican take u to peel park where their first ground was, and see about getting u access to the site as itss now my sons primary school, make a cool story to how one of the oldest teams in the worlds first ground is used by school kids today to play on
Never seen anyone so upbeat about visiting Rotherham 🤣
Hahahaha
Nice one
😂
I'm going in April to watch my team Birmingham City 🌎⚽💙.... can't wait 😅
Thanks for visiting my club. Such a shame you weren't allowed into the NYS. If you'd like to come on a match day hit me up, I'll get you a ticket. Your content is amazing, keep it up Sam.
If he goes next April he'll see you in your bi-annual Championship relegation battle
The guy that owned the scrapyard was the club chairman for a few years and tried to run the club into the ground so he could expand his scrapyard. He took an expensive loan out that the club couldn't afford to develop that newer stand at Millmoor and it nearly caused the club to go bust.
Thankfully the guy who was chairman of ASD Lighting and some other local businesspeople stepped in at the last minute to rescue the club.
Booth basically made the club homeless and they had to play at Don Valley athletics stadium in Sheffield for a bit.
The ground is called New York Stadium as the foundry you mentioned made all the iron street furniture for New York back in the day.
A depressingly familiar story. I can't understand how people like that are allowed to own football clubs. My club, Swindon, almost went out of business last summer due to the dodgy dealings of Lee Power but we are now under decent ownership. Glad to see Rotherham surviving and thriving.
Love it.
I went to a Rotherham game the other week ,was surprised the old ground was still standing and close to the new one and also the saying `this used to be a pub ` very common term in England
Lived a few miles from here (stone's throw from Hillsborough stadium) and whenever I drove through this part of Rotherham (Or the other side of the M1 in Sheffield) I was just sad. The area is so run down it is tragic, especially as the people of South Yorkshire (like the guy showing you round) are the absolute salt of the earth. Engaging, funny, open and extremely friendly.
That said, there are some absolutely gorgeous areas in Rotherham as well and I'm sure the cheap land price helped Rotherham build their delightful new ground. Both the New York and the Donny Keepmoat are jewels in South Yorkshire's rich footballing crown. If you are still in the area, do check Sandygate Road, Hallam FC's ground. Used to love catching a game there, such a charming little ground.
Parson Cross ya mean 😢,don’t worry I’m at Shire Green.
@@BIadesMan was thinking Tinsley!
Yes Sandygate rd ground, which I do believe is the oldest football ground in the world.
I miss these old grounds. Going on away days around the north, Millmoor, Saltergate, Feethams, Gigg Lane. If the clubs don't go the stadiums do. Sad times.
Saltergate what a ground
Great old grounds. Chesterfield's new ground is particularly nondescript.UTG ⛽️🏴☠️
Worked in Rotherham about two years ago! I'm glad you come across this. Me and the lads saw it and played headers and volleys on the pitch for a couple of hours. The nets were still up! Quality memories
Great memories there with Carlisle. That lane down to the away end was scary! The lane was used in the 90s hooligan film I.D.
So sad when you see old stadiums deserted,knowing if will never see fans again.Great video Sam.🏴🇬🇧
I so much wanted you to find the scrap yard guy and get inside millmoor. I only went once, rovrum v wednesday, and what an amazing sight it is on the inside. You can keep your fancy modern stadiums for me, I love the old stadiums with character.
Loving the vids Sam keep up the good work. Road to 100k mate. I’ve done Rotherham away visiting 3 stadiums in the progress Millmoor, Don valley stadium and The New York Stadium.
Really appreciate the content Sam. I have been watching for about 4 months and really enjoying it. Hello from Sligo, Ireland🇮🇪
The football film “ID” with Reece Dinsdale was partly filmed in and around Rotherham. Millmoor Lane and Millmoor ground were also used as filming locations 👍
What a film that was!
I was once at a game at Millmoor, circa 1990 .. with my late ex father in law.
Rotherham Utd 2 - 2 Bolton Wanderers.
This video brought back a happy memory.
Keep up your excellent work Sam 👏👏👏
Cheers 👍
Yorkshire people some of the friendliest,us Yorkshire folk will always make people feel welcome.⚔️⚔️⚔️
What are you chatting about, it's a dump and you all have a chip on your shoulders, plus you're all skint nobodies
I can’t believe Millmoor is still standing I never realised. As nice as Rotherham’s new stadium is, I would of preferred a stadium tour around the characteristic Millmoor Stadium. I’m a Walsall fan and was young when we moved into Bescot Stadium from Fellows Park. My dad even to this day says that the Bescot or (Banks’s as it is now) atmosphere was nothing compared to Fellows Park. Great video, really enjoyed it!
1990 when Walsall moved from Fellows Park I think??
Sure I've been to 3 grounds of Walsall back in the 80/90s watching my club Bury Fc? Is that possible or have I dreamed that?
It’s still being used for Sunday league football
Looks like you visited on Wednesday. I was there for a company safety day and that would have been one of the 'events' that prevented your stadium tour. It was my first time there and it is an impressive stadium.
if you had got there at 11am you could have spoken to Clinton Morrison who was there with the Papa Trophy, would have made a nice interview.
New stadiums are fair enough and Rotherham's is a good one as is ours (Hull's) but I'd much rather be watching us play at Boothferry Park & Millmoor, it was just better in every way.
Both great old grounds.I was lucky to visit both.UTG ⛽️🏴☠️
I gather there's perhaps an even more interesting story behind what happened at Millmoor but perhaps not public outside of anecdotal accounts - the relatively modern looking stand structure to the right was never actually finished or used and was in that state for several years before they actually moved. I actually went to the friendly at the new stadium you mentioned as a Barnsley fan, I can't believe that was almost 10 years ago.
RememberingTerrance Coles who died in that spot at 7:08 mark. Was there that tragic day. Police hOrse charged in such a narrow area with not esacpte for any fan. Terrance was hit by a horse and died in that spot.
Yes. Did not deserve what happened. But always remember he had been chucking bricks and was tanked up.
Great video, their old stadium always used to confuse me on the telly as you couldn’t see any fans but always hear cheers
Love these videos. My girlfriend thought I was a weirdo when we lived in north london and would walk the long way home from the station so I could go past the old highbury. Good to see I’m not the only one who gets excited about old stadiums.
Never be embarrassed for doing what you love dude keep smashing it Sam
Legend cheers Martyn!
Really interesting, thanks. I’ll watch more of your stuff. Love your enthusiasm.
Loved your travels back to Millmoor, remembering going a few times back in the 90s with my club Bury Fc.
Shame you couldn't get in!
You'll have to come do Hull. Our old stadium is now a housing estate but the streets are all named after the club, and the new stadium is just a short pub crawl up the road and you can get close and walk around it. Might as well do North Ferriby too while here.
Great little club. Hopefully back in the championship next season. Them Doncaster rovers and Barnsley are three great little-er clubs always bring a great set of fans to the city ground (forest fan) I'd prefer all three to bin in the same league as forest, along with Sheffield Wed and utd. Great football teams
A think Barnsley are a bigger club than Rotherham & Doncaster tbh 🤔
@@jasonbennett4467 yea Barnsley have spent more time in the division 2 than any other club so they're not exactly small
@@jasonbennett4467 100% agree. I just ment I enjoy all those local clubs. Always bring a good following to forest. Love their grounds, though Barnsley is a pain in the arse to park on match days!
@@sirjakethebrit no mutch respect. I am 51 & watched forest through the Brian Clough days on TV. Dare I say I had a Garry burtles poster on me wall ✊

Fair play bro
A real football fan promoting the real beauty of our game
Keep doing you're thing brother,much appreciated 🇮🇪
Much appreciated! Lots more coming soon...
Went to Millmoor once as a West Ham fan in August 2003 when we lost 1-0 with Glenn Roeder in charge ⚒
Was that the time when Glen Roeder refused to use the away changing rooms because they weren't up to his expectations? What a tosser he was
That was fascinating and good to see. I was hoping to hear a bit about the Don Valley Stadium which i think they played in for a few years before moving to the New York Stadium
I walk past millmoor most days over coronation bridge....it's a shame to see it just left to rot. That being said the NY stadium is awesome
Great video and thanks to Dale (and dog) for engaging with you in the rain!!
Loving the videos. If ya still doing Yorkshire Clubs ya could do Barnsley, Doncaster & some Non-League Clubs too
Good stuff ☺️. Millmorere ain't to far away from me. They played at Don Valley for awhile. I saw Bradford Bulls win the title there and went on the pitch.
I remember walking down that long alley to get to the away end to see Donny Rovers play Rotherham.
Even though I'm a Boro fan, Donny will always be my second team as my Nanna lived in the town for 25 years.
Thank you for the video
That must of been fun as Donny are there closest rival team
What a nice guy you are Mr Footy Adventures, wish you every success with your channel. You do remind me a bit of the character from The Fast Show.....the one that says "Brilliant" a lot :) But thats not a criticism, your enthusiasm is infectious, and you know your stuff
Nice one Sam... Appreciate It from South Africa 🇿🇦
Great vid, love seeing old grounds!. Sound local lad too!
Amazing RUclipsr great at wat u do mate keep the content coming 👏
Story I heard about it from friends who are Rotherham fans is that the owner of the scrapyard owned the ground and wanted to charge them more money to us it. So Rotherham United wasnt having it so they moved and now he's left with no one using it. Apart from a Sunday league side and doesn't get any money for it. Shame as it was a decent little ground but their new one is good for the size of Rotherham United. Good video
Hi Sam. Awesome video, really enjoyed it. I went to the New York Stadium with Tranmere a few years ago. A fantastic stadium. I'd love you to visit Prenton Park, home of my club, Tranmere Rovers
Yeah Sam come to the Leisure Peninsula and visit the home of the Super White Army especially on a match day and sample the delights of the famous Tranmere fan zone. No Super Bock I`m afraid but I`m sure we can provide you with something to your taste.
Love these videos
Absolutely love this stuff. Cheers.
The film I.D was filmed at Millmoor ,I used to like going there as a Walsall fan was always a decent atmosphere.
Booth was once the Chairman. Went once 6-0 v Chelsea. Away end had its own bar. Pint of Mansfield Bitter was 53p
Good video 👍 The film I/D was partly filmed here, Reece Dinsdale.
I actually saw Rotherham United win 4-1 at Stamford Bridge, SW6, back in 1982. The crowd was only 6,000. Incredible. Emlyn Hughes was manager. In fact, the Millers beat Chelsea 6-1 that same season, at Millmoor.
BTW, I support Chelsea FC 😠
I love seeing your excitement in your eyes dying to get in the old stadium! Keep it up bro your vids are amazing! WATP 🇬🇧
Great video and enjoyed the playlist a quick recommendation Kettering Town who you might’ve heard of (as you’re aylesbury local) have two stadiums the rockingham stadium next to the bowling alley in Kettering not sure if it is still standing though is my only issue. The other one is Nene Park used to be home to both Kettering and Rushden & Diamonds. not too sure if the buildings still exist though
I went to see games at this ground for over 30 years. I've seen em all play here.....Stanley Matthews, George Best, Bobby Charlton, I even saw Brian Clough here playing for Middlesbro. Probably the best game I saw here was when Rotherham beat Chelsea 6-0. Brilliant atmosphere. I don't live in Rotherham any more but I have visited the new New York Stadium....which is very nice, but Millmoor was the place to watch football. The smell of tobacco, stale beer and the ammonia reeking out from the urinals.....classic.....
Amazing!
👍
Was the old stadium designed by Archie Leach? Quite a treat to see both the old ground and the new one. Many old grounds are lost to redevelopment. All that remains of Colchester United's old Layer Road ground is a plynth marking the location of the centre spot. Rotherham have yoyoed between League 1 and the Championship in recent years; I wonder how the fans feel about that. I live in Norwich and many fans are fed up with the euphoria of promotion and then sinking like a stone in the PL. Enjoyable content, thanks very much.
Get yourself down to Rootshall before that becomes no more, Kevin Keegan once called it the mini Wembley back in the day.
New stadium has been approved so won't be around forever, very traditional stadium and will be sorely missed.
Great video and content.
I think you should go check out Doncaster Rovers they have a brilliant stadium and also Bradford, Harrogate Town , Barnsley , Hull , Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday , York , Halifax, Huddersfield and Scarborough
These are some stadiums in Yorkshire that you could check out and do research as they may have abandon sites for their original stadium or they may be still on there stadium that the first started on
My dad had the hotdog van outside millmoor in the 80's. Also there was a nightclub called tivoli
Millmoor was a great ground to visit as a Sheffield Wednesday fan so intense that when walking down that ally you walked down fans would chuck piss and food at us
At least the Millers have a great stadium near the Centre still and the memory of Millmoor nearby. My team York City's old ground Bootham Crescent will be houses soon.
You try to move with the times but I think you lose something as a club when you move to the suburbs.
used to love going to games here, had season tickets with my best mate n his dad... great memories, when we went to don valley the atmosphere suffered so bad, glad that place is demolished now lol
Great video as always,get yourself to Bramall Lane soon😁
Beautiful Sunny Down Town Bramall Lane ⚔️👍
Brilliant video. I know this might be of the subject. It is a shame you could not see the old odean cinema in Bradford a few years ago it was a old abandoned building with plenty of history now having a makeover. You would have enjoyed looking at that old cinema building.
That was a top video again been to the old place with Blackpool great away day
Great vid of my club 👏🏻 Hopefully you’ll come back one day to watch a game.
Millmoor has hosted top flight action.
The local rugby club went on a remarkable march up the divisions all the way to Rugby Premiership, seven promotions, and played home matches there.
Around 1980 I visited there for the first time watching Barnsley in the cup. The ground was heaving and a great atmosphere.
The passage at the side of the ground took you to the away end and it was always a bit ropey - I think someone was once crushed there by a police horse.
The bit where the car park is used to have a night club named ‘Tivolis’ which was well known for paying in and drinking for free. 😛
It was a Swansea fan that was killed.
Good video mate 👍
might be worth a visit to Sheffield FC, The worlds first football club.
Brilliant. I used to be a season ticket holder there and a gate man too for a bit. Happy memories
#UTM
It is great to see all of the abandoned stadiums .
Millmore was used in a footbal hooligan film called ID . Millmore lane was used as lots of battles went on there . As a Blade I’ve been to Millmore meany time and had lots of trouble from the Millers . Coming out you had walk under the Rotherham fans which wasn’t fun as we got lots of stuff ( piss mainly) thrown on us
Make sure you go to Barnsley! Loads of history there
Abandoned stadiums are much better with gloomy weather. Great video 👏
12:10 "Villa were so good across the 60s and 70s". So good, in fact, that they were relegated to the third tier in 1970 where they spent two seasons.
Apart from that, another good, solid video, mate.
I’m a Miller from across the pond, but i got the chance to visit for the first game of this season! I went into the store and got some goodies, but i completely missed the reception area. Now i wish i had gone in there and see the Papa Johns trophy in person! 😫
I'm from rotherham I support rotherham united you do some research amazing video love utm
Another great Yorkshire Post, Town play them soon, we've not got a good recent record against ,first saw their shirt on the great League of Gentlemen, on a character called Charlie Hull 💙⚪
I went there watching Newcastle in The FA Cup in the early 90's. Loads of mags who couldn't get tickets were stood on that bridge trying to get a view of the match.
I was 4 years old walking into this stadium, the Tivoli stand. it got me hooked, the best stadium I’ve ever been too, I’m 26 now. I love the New York stadium but its nothing compared to millmoor
For a 4 year old child late 90s it was something else. for me the best era of football I’ve seen it’s where I fell in love with the game. Maybe worded it wrong when i said the best stadium I’ve been too for looks and capacity but the atmosphere was unreal
I am Greek but I am huge fan of Aldershot Town Fc from fifa 12 😅😋
I would like to see the Recreation Ground pleasee
Could do St. Helens - traditionally a Rugby town but the football team have been everywhere in the local area ground wise and Bert Trautmann who broke his neck in an FA Cup Final for City played here as a POW. I believe the POW camp can still be marked out on maps in the neighbouring town of Ashton-in-Makerrfield. St. Helens Women were also very famous back in the day and they were covered by the National Football Museum a few years ago in an exhibition.
couple of interesting facts about Rotherham united, they had the first ever black player to play professional football. They also played at the Don Valley stadium that was built for the Sheffield student Olympic games between moving from Millmoor to the the NY stadium.
Guest and Chrimes was a massive employer in Rotherham . It was a brass foundry and it was them that invented and patented the cock stop water valve. Because of this they had orders from all over the world. One massive customer was NY USA where a lot of fire hydrants and valves were made by Guest and Chrimes. I keep an eye out for any when I get in to NY but it’s not that often and I’ve not spotted one yet. This is also why that area of Rotherham was called New York.
I was there in 81-82 Chelsea visited and Rotherham won 6-0 lol. I was at the next home game v Newcastle 2-1 to chelsea too. Went down on a coach to Peterboro, then onto Watford got underground. I remember fighting after the game, police officer thrown off a horse but i was only a kid then.....CFC.
That ginnell brings some memories back there lads waiting at the top happy days 😉
This fella must be one of the only people in the world to enthusiastically say 'look at that a secure matchday parking sign!'
Excellent bro ❤️👌🏻
As a Shrewsbury fan, Rotherham, beat us in the semi final of the League Cup in 1961, beat us at Wembley in 1996 in the EFL Shield/trophy and in the League One Playoff final a few years ago. We did beat them 3-0 at Rotherham a couple of weeks ago. Good trip for you the site of Shrewsbury's old Gay Meadow(still a wall and a plaque) and Montgomery Waters Meadow I hope soon. Maybe take a trip to Wolves, Telford, Crewe and Wrexham as well. All can be done in a few hours easy👍🏻.
Got to go to York's Bootham Crescent before it gets knocked down totally. See the new ground too, very fancy
I’m a Luton Town supporter living in New Zealand and so enjoy your video. We hope to move into our new ground in Luton in 2026
Can you cover in Scotland east Fife old ground Vs new ground if haven't already...n great vid of Rotherham United I'm a casual neutral fan at times when my mate got a spare ticket for New York stadium....n yes that function room at millmoor would be a nightclub Friday m Saturdays n pay 10 pounds for unlimited drinks all night... good times there....was a rumour years ago millmoor was gonna change to a dog track but nothing was done....but glad they haven't knocked it down so can see how far Rotherham has been to now..,..if you search on RUclips there some vids where some lads sneaked into milmoor n filmed the ground and changing rooms
They filmed the hooligan movie I.D in that ground, also had the floodlights from bramall lane which were from the first ever floodlit game
Come to Wales on Saturday for the Wrexham v Stockport + Wrexham have great history such as 3rd oldest professional club in the world, oldest football international stadium and the atmosphere will be amazing for non league
You should check out Sutton. Looks like a great little community club and their first season ever in the football league and not doing too bad either!
See you sunday at wembley and may the best team win 🏆 👍 👏
My grandad grew up with the chuckle brothers and new them
Go and visit Hillsborough, full of history as Sheffield Wednesday have been in all of the Divisions including the Premiership, played in Europe as well, so yes go give it a visit and you won't be disappointed.
Best have a tetnus shot first though ,with all that rust!
I remember going to the old ground back in the day we were in the home end but we got escorted out of their end by the time we got to the away end we were 2.0 down and went on to loose 6.0. But they were fun days I like thousands of old school fans would give anything to go back to fact
You should really come to Belgium once you can visit old abandoned stadiums here like de schalk in Willebroek or het Drielinden stadion in Brussels. In Brussels you have also rwd Molenbeek and Union who are really worth a visit. The cup final is in the near future and the champions play offs are also about to start in wich the games always have an intense atmosphere . There is many more too so come over and check it out it is also a small country so you won’t miss anything.
Ps if you want to sea the best club in in the league you should come to Club Brugge
A real shame you couldn't get in. Also a shame the bloke you spoke to had very little real knowledge of the ground as it was when in use. 14 years since its fina game though, and still there. Love the place but couldn't swap it back for what we have now
Nice video, can you visit roots hall?
you should come down to Devon and do Exeter, Tiverton, Torquay, Plymouth and Plymouth Parkway
if u ever come to accrington, ican take u to peel park where their first ground was, and see about getting u access to the site as itss now my sons primary school, make a cool story to how one of the oldest teams in the worlds first ground is used by school kids today to play on
Love this ❤
