MILLMOOR (old venue)
Was about 10k squeezed in a real mis-match of a ground. Brand new main stand of 7000 capacity in '06/7, with two tiers. Rest of the place work in progress. Away contingent in Railway end behind south goal. 2000 there and a few more round the corner if necessary. Basic in the extreme.
Good atmosphere under a low roof and could make a racket.
Millers moved out and played at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffied after BHA played 'em in '06/7.
Last time -
Withdean era: 5/8/06 League One.
Opening day after being relegated last term. We'd met in the Ch'ship before and also League Two at start of the noughties.
