Been to Springfield Park to see the Millers play- it was hidden away down the back of a housing estate. Difficut to find and part of the terracing was a mud bank! Seen the Millers play at Wigan Athletic's current ground too.

T Twickenham - home to England Rugby Union. Been past it several times, but never been inside the stadium.

U. Underhill. Might be called something else now. Same ground. Barnet FC.

 

[mikemiller]

Been to Underhill several times, including a Millers 5-2 win in 1992! Barnet no longer play there. They moved to "The Hive" in 2013 (a few miles away), but are planning to move back to the Underhill area, if they can. (Problems getting permission from Barnet council).
---------------------------------------------

V Valley Parade- home stadium of Bradford City FC. Been there to see the Millers play many times. Quite a few good results over the years too!
Also been to Bradford Park Avenue's current ground to see the Millers play in a pre-season friendly in 2019 . The Millers won 5-1, Vassell got a hat-trick.
