Rotherham U. face a trip to Bradford City at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Merry Millers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2002, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a League Division One match.
