Tony Stewart made a frank statement in todays 'Tiser, and admitted that the club will still lose money, but he is working hard to get the club to break even.

"The fact is that Rotherham will lose money, so my job is not to go round rattling cans. It's not about that, it's about getting sustainability with regard to the commercial side of the club." he told the 'Tiser.

"We want more people to participate and buy into the club, and of course it's important what happens on the field. If we are doing well and performing well that will halp. The fan aspect is a big part of it."

Tony also took time out to thank SIV and the Don Valley staff; "Don Valley have been marvelous. They are bending over backwards to help us. They have welcomed us, unlike the Booths."

"Four or five weeks ago when I went down to Don Valley to look at the detail and it ticked all the boxes. We were happy with it, all the minor thing that were needed to be done were done."

"There are features and benefits that we've got and we are looking forward to it. The people visiting Don Valley will feel the benefit and see the difference, there'll be no more rickety wooden steps, thats gone! It just feels right." he added
