The tunnel you walked down was never used because the stand was never completed, the players tunnel was situated in the corner next to the away end and Police control building. I have supported Sheffield United all my life, man and boy, but I can vividly remember going to see the the Millers FA CUP 4th round replay v Manchester United... Harry Gregg, Nobby Stiles, George Best, Dennis Law and Bobby Charlton who later that year won the World cup with England. Tickets were like gold dust but I managed to get one, I remember catching the bus from Swinton after school, (Swinton Comprehensive) on my own, without my dad! it was a dark cold February night 23,500 under floodlights, I was 12 years old and it was amazing! The game went into extra time and Man Utd scored a late winner. I’m not a Miller but it was a great footballing memory I will remember for ever!
I would love to explore here. By the way, the control room is the room where the radio operators, loggists and police gold command would sit and monitor the crowds and communications, and would literally control the game. This is the room from where instructions to open turnstiles, evacuate the stadium etc were made...and also announcements via the tannoy.
What a lovely video to share with us all and truly appreciated indeed. Whilst watching the video I could picture the crowds and hear them cheering as Milmoor scored. I could also picture how the stadium looked when in its prime of life/time. I also felt a sadness in my heart of how such a wonderful stadium could be left to fade away like so many past memories. No doubt many fond memories of Millmoor fans stood the test of time here. To see such a great place where crowds of dedicated fans would stand and sit side by side to cheer on their great team would in itself be an amazing experience itself. As with most places today, they are left either to fade away untouched for centuries or demolished to be replaced with more modern structures. All I can add really is my heart goes out to all remaining Millmoor fans and even though I have never been to this stadium I can feel your loyalty and happiness towards your club and your sadness towards your untouched stadium today. God bless all Millmoor fans and thank you to you guys for producing a brilliant video and sharing such an era in our ever-changing world.
Nice video mate. I'm a Rotherham fan and had some great memories at Millmoor. It's a shame the old main stand was pulled down to make way for the one that never got finished, that would have been a great explore in itself. Although it was largely a timber structure so chances are it would have collapsed or been burned down by the time you made this video! Good to see someone at least attempt to give the place the respect it deserves. By all accounts the place is trashed now.
Is it really?? That’s such a shame. According to google maps it’s still standing but I don’t know how old that is either. You know what google maps is like!!
I’ve seen other videos of people exploring this ground but I really like the way that you put clips in of when Rotherham United actually played there. The other ones haven’t done that. You can actually see what it was like when fans were there, even though I knew anyway through watching football league highlights. I’m rewatching this video because it’s so good!!
Brilliant vid pal...Millmoor has been a relatively unexplored location until recently. Glad to see more people exploring it and putting Rotherham on the Urbex map
The pitch has a protective covenant around it that it must be maintained for the use of the community of Rotherham hence the pitch is in good condition. The Booth family own the land around the ground. The main stand was demolished and what you went in was the half built new main stand. The players never came out on to the pitch from that stand. The away end was the Railway end where the Derek Dalton clock is that the Booths still refuse to pass over to the football club.
Brilliant film. I love urb ex. Apparently Millmoor's carpark is the only part of the ground to be used since it was abandoned . Ken Booth, owns CF booths scrapyard which is supposedly near by, (I'm irish. My geographical knowledge of rotherham isnt great.) His buisness is known for scraping locomotives and general metal recycling . He got in a load of London underground trains to scrap. He used milmoors car park as a storage area for the London trains before they had the gas axe put through them in cf booths yard.
nice video man we are thinking about going here, how easy is this place to get into? Did you have to sneak in? like who owns the place or can anyone just walk in? i know this video was almost 3 years ago now so do you know if anything has changed there since? we are from London don't wanna drive all that way and then not be able/allowed to get in
Good video but do get the record straight on the record attendance. Capacity before converted to all seating was 24,000 but the record attendance was slightly over 25,000. Railway End was the away end. Down near the police control room. Sad the deterioration.
I hate seeing football grounds end up like this. All the memories that people have of the place. At least it doesn’t seem to have deteriorated too much, certainly compared to some other grounds that were abandoned. The pitch and the goal nets are in good condition still, is that due to youth team football being played there still??
I hate seeing football grounds end up like this. All the memories that were made there. All the fans that had watched football there. Discarded for soulless identikit boxes.
The black seats weren’t the away end, the away end was the end with the scrap yard behind. Also the police box is that, a police box. Read Wikipedia before you visit a place and it would help you
