George Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Did anyone else think this thread was going to be about us moving there when DC's creditors/Dad kick us out of S6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S A Andy Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Remember going there 75/76 season, March? lost again 1-0. Our fans on the tivoli end getting arrested for little or no reason, the story we heard was the SYP were instructed to stamp out any signs of trouble before it started to prevent a repeat of the trouble at Chesterfield early in the season.

matthefish2002 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I am as bad as anyone for feeling nostalgic for old football grounds and places like Millmoor did have a bit of grisly charm about them. But in 2022 for the cost of a ticket people expect a lot better facilities than Millmoor could offer. Do remember once we did play a reserve game they in the early 90s during the School easter (I think) holidays v Rotherham. We won 1-0 with a late goal and about 6 fo us ran on the pitch, happy days when you are only about 14! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Only saw Wednesday play once at Millmoor - it was April 83 and we won 3-0. Can’t remember much about the game at all TBH, but I do specifically remember turning up at the ground a few days before the game, more in hope than expectation and being able to get a ticket for one of the terraces down the side of the ground - no questions asked about who I supported or anything like that.

Yes you are right, scored on his debut v Tottenham, I couldn’t remember him staying that long, I had the impression he left the same season he signed for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s used for Sunday football sometimes, but there is now woodland growth in the stands, there are some videos inside on YouTube from these planks who like to film derelict buildings it’s a mess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Always thought it would be a good ground for both Rugby clubs/Codes in Rotherham, but the rent is astronomical. So I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, their new ground is nice & they are in a much better place as a club. In fact I don’t know why they hate us so much, we’ve lined their pockets a few times. It was the same for Waddles comeback I was there for that it was packed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
