It is with regret that the club has to announce that extensive and exhaustive talks have finally broken down between the club and landlords and we will be playing at Don Valley Stadium next season.

Every possible effort has been made to reach a position where staying at Millmoor was viable but unfortunately we were unable to achieve this. We will now re-double our focus in working with the council to move to the new Community Stadium in as short a time as possible and in the meantime are happy that we have been able to negotiate terms that allow us to play at the excellent Don Valley stadium until that time.

New owner Tony Stewart said " this is a momentous step for us but I am determined that every deal that  this club enters in to is workable and financially viable. I have no intention of seeing this club hit the financial rocks again and I am sure our supporters would expect nothing less". Stewart went on " We have done all we could to allow this club to stay at Millmoor but I am not going to wallow in this, we are going to make sure that we make our time at Don Valley as exciting as it can be and trust that our supporters will back us through this period as they always have. We will work doubly hard with the Rotherham Borough Council, and other interested parties to ensure that the new Community Stadium becomes a reality as soon as possible. In the meantime we will now press ahead with plans for the coming season which have been held up by the discussions over Millmoor."

There will of course be more news on this matter and as always we will issue that first via our website.
