Rotherham U. pack their bags to visit Wigan Athletic at JJB Stadium on Friday 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 previous match played between the two at JJB Stadium was within the last three years, in April 2001, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division Two match.
