A football match on a Saturday with a 3.00 pm kick-off time!

Rotherham can trace their history back to 1870 and became "United" in 1925 with the amalgamation of Rotherham Town and Rotherham County. They have played at Millmoor since that time and their Official Website currently advertises the capacity as 8300. Visiting fans are accommodated in the all-seated, covered Railway End, which holds around 2000. Access is from Millmoor Lane via a narrow alleyway. The usual light refreshments are available in the ground but no alcohol.

Admission - Adults £20, Seniors/Students £12, 12-16 £8, U12's £5 and U5's £1.

Rotherham "early-bird" tickets are available through the HUFC office up to 4.00 pm this afternoon (Thursday) saving £2 on Adult, Seniors/Students and 12-16 age prices.

Alehouses - The Butchers Arms can be found by walking over the Coronation Bridge and turning right into Union Street then left into Midland Road (less than ten minutes). The Millmoor, not unsurprisingly, is on the corner of Millmoor Lane near to the ground and has a reputation for welcoming both home and visiting fans. The local Wetherspoons is The Blue Coat Feoffes which can be found on The Crofts. From the ground, cross the A630 and walk down Main Street to the end, then cross Ship Hill and Moorgate Street to The Crofts (10/15 minutes). For those with a little more time and a love of the "Real" stuff, I would suggest this a rare opportunity to visit a Wetherspoons that was actually voted Pub of the year by the local Camra branch (Pedigree, Abbot and 7 guests).

Train - It looks a fairly complicated journey with several changes. Departing Hereford at 08.50 and arriving at Rotherham Central at 12.37 with changes at Birmingham and Sheffield. The return journey leaves at 18.48 and arrives back in The Shire at 22.35 with the same two changes.

Car - Hereford to Worcester then M5, M42, A42 and M1. Leave the M1 at J33 and at the roundabout take the third exit onto the A630 following signs for Rotherham. At the next roundabout, take the first exit and straight over the next two. At the next roundabout take the first exit onto Masbrough Street and left into Millmoor Lane. The ground will be right in front of you. There is some street parking and early arrivals may be able to get into the Club car park behind the Main Stand (£2?). Distance is approx. 145 miles – allow three hours. Postcode S60 1HR.

HUISA – Departs The Street at 09.30. Fare £15. Book through Club office (01432 276666)

FUNBUS – Departs The Street at 10.00 prompt. Fare £13(ish) FULL.

See you at Millmoor.
