New ground doesn't mean big price increases - Stewart
The Millers chairman is adamant that fans will not facing big hikes in ticket prices for the building of the new ground Stewart spoke to Radio Sheffield earlier this evening and said; "I was on this programme a few weeks back about value for money and Rotherham came out on top and I'm proud of that." "It's not just about the tickets, its about the package because there will be drinks, there will be food and services and I'm sure that my commercial director Steve Coakley and his team will be handling that professionally, they'll report back to me and we want to give the people of Rotherham a good deal." "Theres another 6 acres of land around the stadium and we're wanting to make use of that because the template which was put in place was for the stadium and other means of generating money which can go back into the Football Club and invested to help meet its asperations." "The ground wont be used to concerts as its a different type of planning for the stadium, it's going to be football and its also going to be for the community, its going to be a 7 day event, its going to have all things that offer the community like keep fit and all other things. This is the exciting thing, we've got the choice and the options and we're going to work with the planners to make sure that we maximise the benefit for Rotherham in what we're doing here."
