Rotherham United v Stockport County- FA Cup ( Friday 3 December 2021)

 

 

 Rotherham United FC.,

AESSEAL New York Stadium,

Don Street,

ROTHERHAM,

S60 1FJ

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

For County supporters of a certain age, mention of Rotherham United immediately brings forth memories of Millmoor, the Yorkshire club`s home until 2008 , when the Club moved to their current home the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The away end at Millmoor had a distinct air of the `abandon hope all ye who enter here ` about it, but for all that there are memories associated with the old place that still linger.

By all accounts though the stadium County fans will be housed in for this Second Round FA Cup tie is all you would expect from a modern football ground.

It will be the first time we have pitched up there, and I am greatly looking forward to seeing Dave Challinor`s men play there!

On police advice the game was switched from Saturday the 4th to Friday 3 November at 19.45- a bind for those of us thinking Saturday……and 3 o`clock speaks FA Cup to them, but we have done Friday night football before and, results- wise, found the experience much to our taste, so no doubt we will be present in numbers come 19.45 on 3 December to re-visit the idea!
