Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Chesterfield at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 8 of the 33 games played, and losing 17.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was just last season, in January 2007, with Chesterfield inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the The Millers in a League One match.
