Brilliant video mate. I'm a Rotherham fan of 50 years standing & Millmoor holds special memories for me good & bad. The owner of the scrapyard would love to demolish it to expand his "empire" but there's a sporting covenant on the site.
Thanks for watching. I really enjoyed visiting both stadiums and will definitely be coming back at some point. Very interesting, regarding the scrapyard and the fact that Millmoor has a sporting covenant on the site. What do you reckon will happen to the stadium?

Just a few points, the smoke in the background was probably from the Blackburn Meadows biomass plant. There is still some industry left in the area but they don't kick out smoke like that, they wouldn't be allowed. There's been a long standing feud between the ground owner CF Booth and the council over what to do with Millmoor. That feud and Booth's greed is what originally lead to the Millers needing a new stadium. The new stadium, New York Stadium gets its name from the fact that the company that used to be on that ground, Guest and Chrimes, made the fire hydrants that for New York. You can still see the remains of that building on the other side of the stadium. Mears is a big company that have the government contract for social housing in the area.
Hello, thanks for watching my video. Thanks for giving me an insight into Millmoor and how your new stadium got its name. Its very a very interesting piece of history that they made fire hydrants for New York. I will come back up, once the old ground has an open day or match.
@@travellingeverard4326 I use to have a season ticket at millmoor. I still have a season ticket now for the millers People in the past climb over the fence to get into the ground.
Which ground do you prefer? I couldn't believe how close the two grounds were. You are lucky to have a new ground, within the town, rather than on the outskirts.
