Ah but is it a mill as in windmill ( on our invented badge) or a mill as in rolling steel?

Flourmill

Think its a windmill rather than a steel mill Grist.

Championship games 16th Feb 2021 ( starred which concerns the Millers )

Preston N.E. versus Watford
Stoke City versus Sheffield Wednesday *
Bristol City versus Reading
Middlesbrough versus Huddersfield Town *
Wycombe versus Derby County *
Luton Town versus Cardiff City

So we need Stoke & Middlesbrough to win

Wycombe versus Derby County - We need Wycombe to win, although a draw would be ok, to keep Derby near the bottom 3 is a must.

What would fellow Millers have as a final result on this game. ?

[Lolmorgan]

Preston draw,Stoke Win,Bristol Draw,Middlesbrough Win,Wycombe Draw,Cardiff Win.

[Lolmorgan]

I think a Wycombe win would be good for us but I’m going for the draw.

Yes you would have thought so as in the name Mill Moor

But just where was the mill?

I can’t find one on the old maps

[rolymiller]

Neither can i. Could it have been a water mill? Isnt the river Mas near there (If you can call it a river!)

When I was a kid back in the fifties you were allowed to play almost anywhere, well I was. Being brought up in the Thornhill/ Masborough area of Rotherham there were loads of places to interest a kid. One such area was Union Street where a stream ran into a gated culvert from derelict industrial land. The stream was almost certainly being used further uphill by some industry because the water flow would rise and fall with little warning.
About a mile away towards Rotherham there was an area called New York, here a stream ran under the road and I was told it was the same one that flowed into the Union Street culvert and was in fact the River Mas , after which Masbro' was named.



Has anyone else heard of the River Mas or does anyone even know the area I'm talking about?



and an answer:


River mas still flows freely at the back of bradgate club then disappeares under bradgate park

"The stream being most certainly up hill by some sort of industry" Could that have been a bit Abbey dale hamletish type industry. I dunno just guessing...

Is it to do with the Hovis works on Canklow road?

I think a Wycombe win would be good for us but I’m going for the draw.

Would like a Wycombe win but immeasurably grateful if they at least get a draw. Not holding my breath mind you

For the three key * games I think Boro are due a win, Stoke obviously (that’s my Peter Beardsley impression) and I think Derby will beat Wycombe.
