History of the Chesterfield v Rotherham United fixture

Rotherham face a final ever trip to Saltergate at lunchtime on Monday, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 22 out of 31 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2008, the Spireites carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in the final minute of a League Two match.
