  • The Millmoor Ground, commonly known as Millmoor, is a football stadium in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. It was the home ground of Rotherham County between 1907 and 1925, and then its successor Rotherham United until 2008
    In this video i surprise life long Rotherham United fan Ian where we watched a game of football inside Millmoor football ground. His first visit back at the ground in 16 years.

    I'm an Ipswich Town fan. Mum and dad went to Portman Road back in the 1930's when they were an amateur club. I have a treasured photo of my mum walking round the Millmoor pitch with the Town 'cheerleader' before a Millers' match v Ipswich in the mid 1950's. I lived in Sheffield for fifteen years during the 1980's and 90's and one of my bessie mates is a lifelong Millers fan and I have fond memories of standing with her and her crew on the Tivoli terrace. happy days. Thanks for another great vlog. Steve.

    A great video pal!. I only went to Millmoor once when I made the trip to watch Wrexham there , we lost 3-0 but the ground/atmosphere was quality. Im gonna try to take my lads to Millmoor when Sheffield Fc ladies play there next season.

    Cracking video, guy who was showing you around seems to really care about the place and its potential. As a groundhopper it really is a paradise and it has the respect of the community, nice to see someone embrace that and see its potential to a wider audience. Hope theres more to come though as I cant catch the only other Wickersley game thats coming up this weekend sadly.

    • @aroundthegrounds1
      @aroundthegrounds1  7 месяцев назад

So typical of the Tivoli proper old school chanting ! Special to show the kids our beloved Millmoor. Thanks for coming to Rotherham!

Sadly never visited Millmoor, but been to their new ground and is a decent ground for a new ground, but got to love old school retro. Like the coat you got on by the way that's cool buddy.

    Good early memories of going to Millmoor with Barnsley, although the away seating has to be the most uncomfortable ever. Went to a pre season friendly at the Don Valley, which was a very strange experience.

      Thank you maté appreciate you watching. They do there new home is basically 5 min walk away and can be seen from Millmoor. I think it was a fall out and that’s why they had to play somewhere else before moving into there new home 4 years later

  • @DeanSinger-ky7md

    they were very close to promotion to the old 1st division in the 1950s - missed out on goal average........averaged over 18,000 per home game!

    That was wicked thank god you got the luxury to be able to do that I'm a Swansea fan I felt gutted I was thinking of the old vetch witch is a park now but they still got the north bank turnstiles I have a drink there sometimes and remember the mad times I've had there feeling sad it's like visiting someone's grave stone but happy at the same time Swansea jack army forever

      Hello AC, I'm a Rotherham fan, and went to have a look at where your old ground was, when we played you last season.
      I didn't realise there was some turnstiles still there.
      I had a walk down to the Glamorgan Hotel on the corner, I can't remember if it was called that then, but it brought back some great memories of me and my Dad, having a drink before a match at The Vetch.
      It must be almost 40 years ago. I can't recall the year, but I'm sure it was Sept 7th, my Dad's birthday.
      A real treat for him, I think we lost 2-1, nowt much changes .
      Actually, curiosity got the better of me, so I looked it up. 1985 in Div 3, 1-0, not 2-1
      I was hoping to come when we play you in a couple of weeks, but can't make it now. It's a shame 'cos I had a great time in Swansea, last time.
