New York Stadium Tuesday 14th March 2023 KO 7.45pm Recent History The club has been very much up and down between the Championship and L1 in recent seasons . In the 20/21 season, the Millers were promoted back to the Champ. as runners-up, defeating Gillingham 2–0 on the final day of the season.The club also won the21/22 EFL Trophy at Wembley after defeating Sutton Utd 4–2 after extra time. Early in this season, manager Paul Warne departed for Derby being replaced by Exeter boss Matt Taylor after long serving cb , Richard |Wood, had taken over for a period. The loss of Warne was a blow to supporters..he was well liked for staying with the club and turning down offers from elsewhere albeit there was a feeling he had taken the club just about as far as he could. Following his departure results initially went into decline but then improved before hitting the current level of improvement at home. Last 5 home results W 3-1 v QPR W 2-1 v Sunderland (a Tuesday night match) L 0-2 v Coventry D 0-0 v Blades W 4-0 v Rovers Player to watch: Jordan Hugill, signed on loan in the last window The Stadium In January 2010 the club announced that their new stadium to replace Millmoor, later named the New York Stadium, would be built on the former Guest and Chrimes foundry site in Rotherham town centre The foundry produced the fire hydrants for New York back in the 19th C that are still in use , hence the somewhat tenuous naming. Although the ground has a capacity of around 12,000it is my favourite small ground (and it was designed in such a fashion that the roof can come off for expansion should it ever be required). Inside the ground it is quite steep sided and the viewing position everywhere is as good as it gets. Sound is also amplified so there can be a decent atmosphere. The ground was used for the Women's Euros last year because of its standard. Commercial Activity (are you watching PR?)the naming rights to the stadium are currently owned by local multimillion-pound company AESSEAL.The club's principal sponsor is IPM Group and Asura which features on all the playing kits. The training wear has a separate sponsorship with Guardian Electrical appearing on all training and leisure wear. All kit is made by long term sponsor Puma which has worked with the club for over 10 years.. Getting there It is an easy run from Preston...at least most of the time ...over the M62 and down the M1, come off at Meadowhall, turn left and keep going until you see the ground or old ground pylons on your right, Drive towards and park where you can. Just hope the weather is better than Saturday night when I dropped down the M62 into Yorkshire and and into a blizzard. Allow 2 hours and a 15 mins walk from parking if coming from work. The match forecast …...who knows? . I don't recall us ever winning at the New York and I have no doubt that we are in for a tough game against a team that is very much together, fighting for its Champ status and of late generally succeeding at home. They will be seeking to bounce back after a poor performance away at Brum on Saturday. Only thing that's certain is it won't be pretty. |

dawsonsjs, Thank you for getting the thread done. They’re pretty decent at home and not a ground we have a great record at. I’d settle for a point tbh.

Thanks for the report Daws, interesting to see that they've got Hughill on loan. He did well for us IMO. Cannot see an change in tactics but the starting Xl needs changing. Hope Woodman is fit

Hope Woodman is fit Hugill was signed on a 3 year deal. Hopefully Browne will be back to replace Woodburn and I’d start Chedwyn. Possibly Hughes if he was fit too over Cunningham. Another 3 points and that’s the championship sorted for next season. |

Yes your correct 71...I had in mind that at both Baggies and Cardiif Hugill was on loan.
Amazing nos. of players whose careers go backwards when they leave us..although bank balance will go the other way.
This moves says a lot about Hugill though and that he just wants to play...Millers wage bill half that of PNE.
Although I always thought that he was rustic (never a |Prem player in the proverbial million) he did a good job for us.
What's ther odds he nets?
As for the team we put out I've not expressed an opinion in the thread. I'd settle for the side that made a difference in the second half on Saturday.....got to start with Evans at the front. His physicality changed the game.

Rotherham are not my favourite team as they beat Sutton United in last season's Papa John's Trophy Final at Wembley. They got a fortuitous injury time equaliser to take the game to extra time.
They were well supported on the day.
I would be happy with a point in Tuesday.

Hopefully Mrs Browne will have added to her collection of boys and Alan is able to play instead of Woodburn. I would’nt be shocked to see Ledo recalled at the expense of one of the CAMs as we prepare for a battle.
Potentially give Alvaro a rest and start Brady as well.

Local game for you dawsonsjs, think you have well and truly earned it !! Will be the red button for me Will be a brutal encounter, never like playing against Hugil he seems to be extra thuggish against us, will be an interesting contest with Bambo Got to start with Ched and hopefully Browne back for Woodburn, hope Freddie’s eye ok and he can play, won’t be one for the purist 1 1 draw for me Ched |

Don't remember Rovrum being that bad, Zunderland on the other hand was like watching on TV.
QPR had enough legroom ......if you were about six years old.

Ipswich has the worst seats I’ve ever seen. Less leg room than a Ryan Air plane.
On the game, not expecting much. Probably be a draw. Puts more pressure on Blackpool if we lose.

Bolton is a bit steep, the seats at M K Dons are wider with bags of knee room.

I think the New York is a brilliant small ground.....yes it is steep sided but this makes for excellent viewing.

Red button for me if I get home in time. Have managed my diary terribly this week - late finishes Monday to Thursday. So much so, that I am taking a day's leave on Friday to get my energy up for a drive to Birmingham on Friday, then from Brum to Boro Saturday and back home after the match. At some point, I need to fit in a 17 mile run as well... that may well have to be Friday morning!
Never managed to get to Rotherham though. One we must tick off at some point.

Rotherham is great as an away bloody freezing but great. Add 6k to it and you have PNEs ideal Stadium!
Hopeful tonight. Away point at least. 3 points and we can start experimenting with this season end and plan for the next!!!!
Can we get Alvaro and Cannon back please? Little spark without.

Urge everyone planning on a trip over the M62 and down the M1 to check the weather forecast before setting off. There's been heavy snow this morning in Sheffield although with the ground so wet it didn't settle. Weather then eased off but there's been one or two flurries since.
And if still coming get out the thermal underwear and flasks of Bovril...it's freezing.

The weather has eased off over the last hour mid but the conditions are still miserable...the issue for me if travelling any distance would be getting back home safely if the roads start to ice over.
Doesn't promise to be a great game but Rotherham are reporting players missing, partic at cb, so although we never do well at the New York (don't recal lever winning) we must be in with a shout.
When I played I never minded such conditions...the thought of complete euphoria standing under a hot shower after the match kept me going.
Anyway just about to set off....dressed like Michelin man, two pairs of everything.

Well I have been impressed with cannon let’s hope that he can take advantage of missing players. Sorry but I still hope with the players getting used to each other all we need to do is win. And there is always a team who comes from midway to finish in the playoffs from Easter so believe

Looking forward to seeing a midfield 3 of Whiteman, Browne & Johnson, haven’t seen enough of it this season IMO.
Looks a pretty strong team if the defence keep up with their recent good form.

Only one defender on the bench.
Bauer back out of favour and rumours of LL in training ground bust up .
See JH got their captain's armband
