Rotherham United secure new stadium site
Rotherham United Football Club (RUFC) has confirmed that plans for a new multi-million pound stadium have taken a step forward after the club acquired a site for the development.
The club, which competes in Coca-Cola Football League Two, currently plays its home matches at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield but is now set for a return to Rotherham after acquiring the former Guest and Chrimes Foundry site. RUFC chair Tony Stewart said: "The former Guest & Chrimes Foundry site has now been confirmed, this is an ideal site for our new home back in Rotherham, it will also provide significant regeneration benefits and leave a legacy for the future, not just for the football club, but for our town.
"We have been working hard on the new stadium project behind the scenes for more than 18 months now and have gained tremendous knowledge of numerous stadia throughout the country, and we have a good understanding what is needed for it to be a success for both supporters and to work for us commercially to provide financial stability for Rotherham United Football Club for years to come."
