Rotherham...suddenly got the urge to go...

....is it POTG and is there much life in the town on a cold January night?

I don't know about PotG but the New York Stadium (for me) is a lovely little 'new build'. They've done a good job with a small capacity - nice steep stands and a decent atmosphere. Excellent views of the pitch and friendly stewards. As for the town itself there are three JW Wetherspoons in the town centre which is a 10 minute walk away. Closer to the Central railway station is The Bridge Inn which welcomes away fans and has a fine choice of ales apparently. I'm going up and staying overnight. It promises to be a good 'un

From the Ground guide. You would probably need to buy a ticket there for the away end.

The stadium has electronic turnstiles meaning that you have to insert your tickey into a reader to gain admission. Cash is not accepted at the turnstiles and tickets for the away section can be purchased from the dedicated away ticket office at the back of the Morrison Stand.

But doesn't that suggest pay on the gate?

When you suddenly get the urge to go.... take Immodium.


Seriously though... stay in Sheffield. When I was a student there, everyone from Rotherham came to Sheff for a big night out.

It wasn't meant to. It was advice for someone who wanted to go, if away fans can pay on the day. It's a large'ish away end holding 2,500, so I would be surprised if we couldn't buy tickets on the day.
To spell it out even further, it might be worth asking the club via Twitter or phone, tomorrow.

Would like to see their stadium in the flesh, looks a really nice build. Trouble is I can't drag my arse out anywhere north of the West Sussex borders at the weekend!

Ta everso..I'll give the club a buzz in the morning. It would seem the overnight stay should be Sheffield...hope to meet up with some other Blue and Whiters

Get there early and go to Magna. It's brilliant.

I'm toying with the idea of going myself, so might well contact the club tomorrow too.

Yep. Another overnight in Sheffield, here.

Trying to avoid going into SPOONS the entire trip - bit bored of the places.

This is getting better and better

 

[Black Rod]

Rotherham was a cracking day out last year and we were shit. A Tuesday night in Sheffield this time around has the potential to be even better

 

[Albion in the north]

3 in 8 days for me.
Bug kudos to you guys coming up on tuesday.

Well you should be in luck when it comes to your last sentence, there are bound to be hundreds, nay thousands of blue and whiters there. They will be called Sheffield Wednesday fans.
