History of the Rotherham United v Bradford City fixture

Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Bradford City at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Merry Millers are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 6 of the 27 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was just last season, in January 2003, as the Merry Millers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League Division One match.
