Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Rotherham diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

The New York Stadium is right by the river, so can be exposed to a keen wind in winter.

Ground note

Rotherham Central is a compact station and can get crowded quickly on popular fixtures.
