History of the Rotherham United v Barnsley fixture

Barnsley pack their bags to visit Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 5 of the 24 games.

The previous match played between the two at Millmoor Ground was more than three years back, in December 2001, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
