You not going by train?

Have you seen how much trains cost? I mean, Christ- not your fault by any means but a journey to Rotherham from Taunton on the train (I assume by their user name that Taunton_BCFC would travel from Taunton :laugh:).

It's no wonder people drive or go by coach or similar! I say this as someone who doesn't drive, but it's no wonder at all.

Anyone who’s been before, is there parking near ground and also any pubs within walking distance.

@Taunton_BCFC and anyone else going up on Wednesday

There are a number of pubs in the nearby town centre, which are only a few minutes walk from the stadium.

These include two Wetherspoon pubs; the Bluecoat on the Crofts and the Rhinoceros on Bridgegate.

The Bluecoat does have more of a home feel about it, whilst closer to the railway station is the Rhinoceros. Both these pubs are listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

The Bridge Inn near to the railway station no longers admits away supporters. 

Alcohol is also available inside the stadium in the form of Fosters and John Smiths (Both £3.80 a pint), Heineken (£3.70 a bottle) Bulmers (£3.50 a bottle), plus Red, White and Rose wines (£4 small bottle).

If travelling by train and changing at Sheffield station, then on the station itself (Platform 1) is the Sheffield Tap which serves real ales and is run by the Thornbridge Brewery (please note though that no football colours are allowed).

 

From the South:

Leave the M1 at Junction 33 and take the A630 towards Rotherham. After around two miles and crossing over three roundabouts you will reach the stadium on your right. You will pass the floodlights of Millmoor on your left and at the next roundabout (called the Masbrough roundabout) turn right onto Main Street and the entrance to the stadium is down on the right.

Car Parking

Car parking at the stadium is for permit holders only. However, there are a number of pay & display car parks located around the town centre. Otherwise, there is some street parking available around the area of the Millmoor ground, which is around a 15 minute walk away from the visitors turnstiles. There is a multi-storey car park located next to the Interchange Bus Station which costs £2.80 for four hours. 

Post Code for Sat-Nav: S60 1QY (this is the post code of the nearby Police Station on Main Street)

We’ve compiled a list of car parks, below, near to the New York Stadium for hassle free parking while you’re at the match.

Car Park Sat Nav Cost Distance to Ground Description
Rotherham Interchange S60 1RD £6.50 1.0km Situated a short walk away from the New York stadium, the Interchange multi-storey car park is a popular choice for away fans to park. It has almost 700 spaces but these will fill up quickly on match day so make sure you arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Sheffield Road Car Park S60 1BD £1.80 1.3km There is a pay and display car park on Sheffield Road which is around a 10-15 minute walk to the New York Stadium, and is relatively inexpensive, making it a popular choice with visiting fans.
Millmoor Ground – Street Parking S60 1HR Free 0.8km Limited street parking is available near the site of the old stadium, Millmoor, on Masbrough Street. However, make sure you’re aware of the parking restrictions and vehicles are left at your own risk.

@Matt Parsons BCFCSLO can you just clear something up tho. Not important just out of interest really.

you say 163 sold but on the oringal article says we were allocated 807 tickets. On ticket site says 573 left.

807 - 573 surely = 234 sold????

like I say not major just interested in case we Do have a game which sales quick will be nice to know the site is correct?

If that's true it's tragic - fabulous boozer pitched just right for football fans who want decent ale and who want to talk about football. Used to have a mural at the back for Gow  snd Galley. Pie and peas and their local pork pies (forget what they call them) are stuff of legend.

Hi there, 

That's probably because that 807 number includes the comp tickets the club would have been allocated from Rotherham United.
