    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.

    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.

    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.

    Who thinks Rotherham United could cause a big upset in the Championship and finish in the playoffs for the first time ever this season? Wouldn't that be magical - a finish above the likes of Preston and Bristol who've been trying for ages to reach the promised land. Not saying by any means Rotherham will actually make the Prem, but what about sneaking a 6th playoff spot? There are already signs that this is not your usual typical Rotherham side this season. Something's just different about them.
    Fulham are flying in the Prem too, thus meaning.. could this be a year the yo-yo clubs finally break the voodoo and actually even challenge for more?
    Could be talking rubbish, but just a thought.

    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.

    Personally I like your videos on clubs which no longer exist. Could I ask you to do some research and a a video on a team called Belfast Celtic.
    I believe their claim to fame was a win over a Scotland international team.
    They have a very interesting history. Also a one of my ancestors played for them.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    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.

    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

    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

    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! 😫

    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

    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. 😛
