History of the Rotherham United v Port Vale fixture

Port Vale face a trip to Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 20 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
