Footymad preview History of the Swindon Town v Rotherham United fixture

Rotherham United travel to take on Swindon Town at the County Ground at lunchtime on Saturday with a 12.15 kick off time. The game is televised live on Sky Sports.

The Millers have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 10 out of 13 times.

The last time the two teams met at Swindon was back in February 2006, over five years ago, with Rotherham inflicting a 3-2 defeat upon the Robins in a League One match courtesy of goals from Shaun Barker and a Martin Butler brace. Tomorrow will be just the eighth meeting in 14 years between the clubs.
