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!

[@FlickeringEmber]

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.

[@Urbandoned]

It was a nice one, thanks for sharing that information!

[@philspeedway1]

Excellent video apparently the floodlights still work when you turn them on

[@Urbandoned]

Thanks a lot man!

[@KingOfBongoo]

That was incredible mate, the documentary style was great. If you make all your videos like this, you're deffo gonna blow up :)

[@KingOfBongoo]

Btw the thing you thought was a line marker was a locomotive I think haha

[@Urbandoned]

Thanks so much man, and ye haha, I saw one in your vid and I knew I’d parred myself :)

[@KingOfBongoo]

No problem man, and I'll let you off then haha

[@pault6752]

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.

[@mrkipling2201]

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!!

[@daviddavis8165]

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.

[@mrkipling2201]

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!!

[@ScatteredWalks]

About time one of you lads covered a football stadium!

[@Urbandoned]

Haha we got you!

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

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

[@Urbandoned]

Thanks mate :)

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Glad you shouted my man Bongo out, He's a good lad, looking forward to collaborating with him again

[@Urbandoned]

Yes he’s a nice fella, have a good time mate

[@andrewrushmere2264]

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.

[@Urbandoned]

Thanks a lot for this man, great knowledge! Sorry for the mistakes :)

[@mrkipling2201]

They’re the owners of the scrap metal yard at the back of the ground aren’t they??

[@Fcutdlady]

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.

[@bigtitus4417]

Awesome job dude, great video

[@DerbJd]

Nice editing. And your intro sting is like Black Mirror. And Black Mirror is probably the best thing written for TV.

[@theexcursionists7878]

Good job as always

[@Urbandoned]

Cheers guys!

[@WATFORD2535]

Went there in 2001 Wimbledon where 2-0 up and went in to lose 3-2 my only visit way back when I was 21 😢

[@JRtwins_]

Great video 👍🏻

[@FatherZed696]

I was on that pitch great days utm !! The movie ID WAS FILMED HERE !!

[@letsexplorewithrich3765]

awesome video man. i need to do this next time i'm down that way

[@Urbandoned]

Cheers mate, and yes definitely do it, it’s an amazingly unique spot :)

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

You should man. I should be doing this place when I go up to Rotherham next month

[@letsexplorewithrich3765]

Give me a shout man and I'll join you. There's a few places I wanna go to around that area aswell

[@JakeDaley]

well edited video man

[@Urbandoned]

Thanks mate :)

[@chris_r_yt]

The 'smaller seats' at the top of the old Family Stand were for wheelchairs users and their families.

[@Urbandoned]

Ah that makes sense. Thankyou for sharing mate

[@FlickeringEmber]

I was going to say that!

[@JMFootballYTChannel]

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

[@john111257]

Superb

[@jackk3573]

Great video guys the trains are not abandoned booths have the contracts to cut them all up most come from London.

[@sisuout9359]

Looks sick how did u get In

[@WATFORD2535]

It looks like to me they where starting work on a new stand from stand long the dude and the fact CF Booth had equipment there

[@sheffsteel7]

Error at 3.38 on the video. Millmoors official record attendance is 25,170 in Dec 1952 against Sheffield United.

[@PHPW]

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.

[@mrkipling2201]

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??

[@WATFORD2535]

Fun fact West Ham United players refused to use the changing rooms instead changing at there hotel in late 2003

[@paulburns1333]

Still looks decent. Probably worse grounds still getting used in the league.

[@stevenspraggs4953]

gutted i never got to go there

[@marlinios262]

How do you get in?? Do you have to hire or pay or what and who did you go to do that if you did, thanks

[@andrebrown9189]

Record attendance was 25,000 against Sheffield United not 21 against Wednesday

[@drop_dead_wish2306]

ive explored there and im from rothertham

[@giuseppeesposito1736]

From where did you get in?

[@TheRedCassette02]

Since when has the colour of the seats denoted the away end in any ground.

[@mrkipling2201]

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.

[@jamisbillson4872]

A ground with shitloads of character replaced by a plastic soulless pile of misery. Sad days.

[@WATFORD2535]

No RCD’s on the fuseborad

[@axis8442]

How did you get in?

[@drop_dead_wish2306]

next time u go explore the pub in it

[@cal-efc8062]

Proper football stadium looks like could still be used today with only a bit of work to do

[@johnnyboy3949]

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

[@dylanlarge11]

Is it still there in 2021?

[@mickcardiff3044]

why is the turf still maintained?

[@shaunangell2265]

Some kind of protection order on it mate

[@youdontknowjack6682]

So it’s not abandoned then? Just in a right state?

[@anthonyhousley6934]

I am a blade and I really enjoyed going to millmoor. But I think the club have moved on for the better.

[@lifelongstag]

All ways remember having to step over all the horse shit in alley way on the way out of the away end

[@bednar23]

Watching this in 2021, I fear this fate awaits all our football stadiums very soon

[@garykillington4172]

1999 Rotherham United vs Leyton orient division 3 play off semi final second leg orient won on penalties to play scunthorpe at Wembley in the final

[@itzewan526]

Lmao the pitch is still in good form

[@WATFORD2535]

Of all the rooms people sleeping in toilet guessing only room with power

[@jamesmitchell1909]

It's not abandoned a local football team play there something to do with ex chairman relations

[@Urbandoned]

Yes we know man, awesome it’s still getting used!

[@teapot8781]

Urbandoned well it’s not abandoned is it?
