Best atmosphere at a Millers home game...

[mygiddypant]

Home v Sheffield United 1980-1981

Towner goal. Fantastic.

Good shout. Otherwise FA Cup 4th round replay (yes, we used to get through to the 4th round!) against the mighty Man Utd (Best, Law, Charlton). 25,000 going on 50,000

Yea I think this was as good as any..what a side this was and they proved it by winning the league..was this game the highest ever attendance at millmoor? or was that a different Sheffield united game ?

1953, Rotherham Vs Sheff Utd 13Dec - Att 25,170. Highest all time game.

Bloody Hell CAM didn’t you every go when we won.

Let me think? One or two I remember us beating Charlton 3-0 in the same year as the Barnsley game but it was towards the end of the previous season when we went on to win the League. Game was around Easter, Millmoor was full and we were both challenging for promotion so atmosphere that day was pretty special.

Away from Millmoor so not meeting the OP criteria I was also at Sixfields for the 'perfect 10' game where we won 1-0. Pissing down with rain but atmosphere that day was pretty good.

My NYS record is not so good, P4 W1 D1 L2 F7 A11 plus 1 game postponed (Ipswich last month).

Agreed, 04 season, Martin McIntosh with the goal.
Mike Pollitt for England) in goal.

Vs the blades was a good one. At NYS Vs Preston in the 2nd leg of the playoffs after the fantastic garner and revell goals in the first leg

I can't quite believe it CAM, they are my top 2!!!

The City game in particular, if I remember correctly we we were 3-0 down, pulled it back to 3-2 , had a few goals disallowed and then Peter Barnes broke away in the last minute and scored for City


The Barnsley game was superb. Stewart Barrowclough was the only winger I have ever seen get the better of Gerry Forest.

100 percent agree with you. The atmosphere was electric.

Great days for both our club's , the atmosphere at Millmoor for the 4-2 game was incredible .

It wasn't a 4-2 game either , could have gone either way at 2-2 , if it had stayed 2-2 it still would have been one of the best games I've ever seen between two very good and well matched teams at that time .

The talent out there that November afternoon from both sides is unlikely to happen again .

I think it's fair to say at that time we didn't really like one another but none the less I think deep down we did respect each others teams .

Towner was superb , put the shytes up me when he was tormenting and teasing Phil Chambers , Ronnie Moore was as dangerous as they come with Stancliffe immense at the back .

The difference and why we probably edged it over you was King Ronnie Glavin who is the best footballer my club have ever had and probably will have .

Millers 2 Brentford 1

That Alan Lee goal !!!

Whatever happened to Brentford ? ��

[Philips]

Rotherham 4 Crystal Palace 1, Tuesday night game 1975 when they were running away with league under Malcolm Allison!

[Milesaway]

RUFC Vs Newcastle 1993 FA Cup
Nigel Johnson equaliser the place went mental.
Also have good memories of playing Sheff United in the 80's but I was only a nipper then.

A game that also sticks in my mind as a great atmosphere and a great performance was the 4-1 drumming of Port Vale in the early 90s

[millers88]

Milmoor I'd say the Leeds game with Macintosh goal or Southampton fa cup win and at NYS the Preston semi final playoffs or Sheff Wed league cup game 2013
