New vision for women’s football at Millmoor

Rotherham United Women FC’s owners have proposed a £9.5m development at the historic Millmoor site, including a national centre of excellence for women’s and girls’ football and a 2,000-seat stadium. They say the project could give the club a lasting home while attracting players and sporting organisations from across the country.

The plans also include a community sports hub, low-cost gym access, grassroots sport support and corporate facilities, alongside a proposed home for the Derek Dalton Clock. The site is owned by Ron Hull Group, and discussions have taken place with the owners and Rotherham Borough Council. A two-week public consultation is due to begin on Monday; demolition of the former stadium started in August.
