BEFORE THE MATCH
Turnstiles at the stadium open 90 minutes before kick-off, but there are activities available at the Rotherham United Community Sports Trust Goal Zone Centre from 1pm.
This is available to home and away supporters, but you must have a valid match ticket to enter. There is pre-match entertainment provided and plenty for young supporters to do.
More details about this can be found here.
TRAVELLING BY CAR
There is no parking for away supporters (unless you have a pre-agreed disabled parking space) at the ground itself, but there are options nearby.
Rotherham have identified two pay and display car parks – one on Sheffield Road and the other a town centre NCP – as the best for travelling supporters.
Forge Island car park – a large car park 0.4 miles from the ground - is also recommended by the home club. It will take around seven minutes to walk from here to the stadium.
TRAVELLING BY TRAIN
It is a nine-minute walk from Rotherham Central Station to the AESSEAL New York Stadium. You can also take a taxi, which will take approximately five minutes.
The journey from Swansea to Rotherham takes between five and six hours.
There are trains which arrive in Rotherham at around 12.30pm and 1.20pm. Supporters are advised to plan their route in advance and keep an eye on train timetable
PUBS FOR AWAY FANS
Rotherham town centre is a short walk from the stadium and has plenty of places to eat and drink. Rotherham United recommend The Bluecoat (a popular Wetherspoons located at The Crofts), but many of the pubs in the town centre welcome visiting supporters.
Rhinoceros (on Bridgegate) also welcomes away fans, while The Bridge Inn (closer to the train station) has proven popular with visiting supporters travelling to Rotherham.
