Demolition begins at Millers’ former Millmoor home
Demolition has begun at Millmoor, the former home of Rotherham United, marking a symbolic end to a stadium that had stood empty for years after the club moved on. The site's clearance reflects the gradual erasure of a venue closely tied to the club's history, even as the ground has been out of footballing use for well over a decade.
Rotherham United played at Millmoor until 2008, when the club relocated to the New York Stadium, its current home. Drone footage from the site shows the initial stages of the demolition work getting under way.

Millmoor was Rotherham United’s home ground for many years. The club, known as the Millers, moved to the New York Stadium in 2008, and Millmoor has not hosted the team since.
The move left behind a stadium closely linked to the club’s history, but no longer part of its matchday life. Its removal marks a change in the local landscape and the loss of a place familiar to generations of Rotherham supporters.
