The match against Swansea City, which was initially meant to be played on Saturday February 25, will now be played on Monday February 27 at 8pm and screened live on Sky Sports.
The news met with criticism online from Millers fans, many of whom had planned to spend a weekend in Swansea for the game.
One of those left frustrated was Liam Hall who tweeted that his birthday weekend away had been “ruined” by the fixture change.
Liam, aged 28, of Ashby Drive, Kiveton Park, said: “Away matches are a rare occurrence for me so this was one to look forward to.
“The weekend falls around my birthday and I had a weekend planned in Wales from Friday to Sunday. I have got to call the hotel and see if they will change. If we don’t go, we may have potentially lost out on the hotel deposit and the cost of the tickets.”
The move to a Monday night also scuppered Liam’s chances of a precious “child-free” weekend as he had arranged for grandparents to babysit.

The most surprising park of this story, is that we have a Rotherham fan from Kiveton Park, normally they follow a Sheffield team thinking that is where Kiveton is. Hopefully, he has booked a hotel in the correct Wales.

You can see why a lot of fans don't like Sky.
Why don't they choose their games earlier?

I lived in Kiveton Park/Wales area for more than 25 years, and whilst it had a Sheffield (S26) post code the telephone was a Worksop (01909) exchange and I payed my council tax to Rotherham. I was in South Yorkshire but was close to Nottinghamshire, and if you follow the road left past wales bar and Rother Valley Country Park you reach Killamarsh at the top of the hill which is in Derbyshire.
There were many more Wednesday and United fans and even ran coaches to home games. There were a few Millers there but how many were born there I don’t know. I moved there before my first marriage being originally from Thorpe Hesley (on the Rotherham side)
Regarding the Wales thing, my ex wife told me that during the night club days in the seventies, if ever someone chatted her up who she didn’t like, she always told them she came from Wales, so if like me, they had no idea that there was a Wales near Kiveton Park, they naturally assumed she meant Wales Wales. So when I turned up in Swansea on a Monday night I was surprised to find she wasn’t there!!

Some times they have to add games to schedule when they realise they haven't shown a team a minimum number of times.
Not saying that this is the case here though.

When you get to the borders its a bit confusing, like Lindrick Dale and Lindrick Golf, often referred to as Worksop due to a S81 postcode but are in Rotherham.

All S.yorks has a S postcode except Donny. The Donny postcode DN actually reaches the east coast, Grimsby area.
It's to whom you pay your Council tax to, and applying for planning permission, actually tell's you where you live(if you're not sure) or just thick.
