Ticket prices and ground info

Millers fans are housed in the Manchester Road End (different again from last season!) behind the other goal. The stand is all covered and seated. For ticket prices see the sticky thread at the top of our messageboards.

Pub and Grub

The Swan and Cemetary and Pack and Horse (if its open this season!) are away favourites, particularly with the chippy on the corner close to the stadium. There are also various pubs situated along Manchester Road into the town centre.

Within the ground food is available at reasonable prices with a very good chicken balti pie the pick of the selection.

MillersMAD wish fans making the trip a safe journey, wrap up 'cos they've forecast a cold 'un!!
