Miller’s League Place in Doubt – Rotherham United could be barred from the Football League and unable to start the new season if they are unable to provide assurances over their future. The Football League has written to the League Two club requesting an urgent meting to clear up issues that will affect their league membership, with their tenancy at the Don Valley Stadium a key issue. In a letter to the Millers, the Football League wrote: ‘It is imperative that the new company’s pplication is presented to the board prior to the start of the season and it is in the best possible shape. We want to reduce the risk that the board may raise further points which might prevent the issuing of a further decision before the start of the new season.’ The Millers, who quit Millmoor in May, when new owner Tony Stewart was unable to reach an agreement with current landlord Ken Booth, must lodge a £750,000 security bond which is necessary for them to ratify their move to Don Valley in Sheffield. The League also want an assurance from Rotherham that they will move back to the town within four years. The Millers are expected to start the season with a 20 point penalty. They have been in administration since March and have not yet settled debts to creditors via a Company Voluntary Agreement that is required under Football League rules.
