New York Yankee Millers?

Talking football down under, Brisbane Wolves won another game and by a very tenuous link I come to the sad day for Sheffield based football lovers, Rotherham Utd. have  moved from their temporary ground in Sheffield to their new stadium in Rotherham depriving Sheffielders of top class football in their city,the new stadium is called "New York Stadium" it seems the old Guest & Chrimes foundry was based there and made many of the US New York's cast iron fire hydrants,and I do know that this little area of Rotherham was always known as New York,I hope this does not mean a name change from The Millers to The New York Yankees.
I was in Sheffield yesterday and I believe there was some kind of internal football feuding taking place with unusual numbers of once yearly visitors to the blue sectors ground.
Today back on  the prairie after surviving the pot hole littered roads of Sheffield we are strangely supporting a team in blue,no not the Sheffield one but the Manchester (Blue Moon)one ,and hope for a better day of football results  after Liverpool lost in the cup and other disappointing results.
