Lovely?The concourses are half the width of the KMS and the bogs were overflowing. The view of the pitch is good due to the steep rake of the stand but the facilities leave plenty to be desired in my view. The stewards were ok, albeit externally sourced event security and not club staff. Had a nice chat with one of them before the game and he remembered me on the way out. The access routes down seem strange too, didn't seen to flow easily when busy
And I suppose repetitively bellowing paedo for 80 mins doesn't count as goading?

It may be an upgrade on Millmoor but it's not a patch on the Keepmoat.
For me its not a better stadium. I don't give a damn about a crazy lego style roof. Or stupid looking floodlights. The ground is smaller, the whole complex is nothing like our stadium complex with the second pitch etc. The whole area around the ground is bombsite and slum clearance. The councourses are more akin to a ground like Scarborough or Chesterfield. Give me a bigger more spacious ground anyday than lego style roofs! And as for a bigger club, don't make me laugh, they are without doubt a smaller club, buoyed by parachute payments from the championship for now... Ok i exaggerate, lets face it we are both two relatively similar sized clubs but we have woke up and smelt the coffee in the past few years and know we are probably where our budget and team are right now, a league one club (and hopefully remain so next season) but for any idiot to go on radio dee dar and declare us not a rival and a smaller club is still living in cloud cuckoo land, and i think if they don't go back up this year, they will start to realise their place.. Stewart's money won't last forever!

Stewart's money won't last forever!The concourses were abysmal, surpassed only by the toilets. Basic stuff.Anyone with mobility issues or wanting to get out the stands quickly is going to be in trouble. Big screen looks like it's loading Horace Goes Skiing, and the whole ground looks like they started big at one end and rapidly ran out of interest and materials by the time they got to the other.
Better atmosphere, better acoustics, better PA system, more unique design, more natural light. Shall I go on?
Anyone else get involved in the trouble outside ? Anyone else get spit on ? My elderly dad was punched and I received a headbutt on way back to my car ! To top it off get in car and the arrogant disrespectful twit lee bush bushy was on chatting disrespectful stuff about my town again why do they let this beckham wannabe get away with it ? On to the next game but we need to manage gamed better we could have had 6 points over the 2 games in 90 mins we was winning

Small point to add - no "Game Clock" that I could see. I missed it and did not realise how much I must look at ours especially when we are 1-0 up !

Due to the nature of the fixture there were always going to be one or two flash points but on the whole I thought it was extremely well policed. The way they kept fans apart by sending away fans over the first bridge to the station was well thought out. This makes me think why they don't do that at the keepmoat. They should Hurd away fans around the back of the community pitches instead of the coming together being at the entrance of car park 2

Rotherham fans above, Rovers below, all having a pop at each other. Would have made more sense to leave the coaches nearer the away exits.
