History of the Rotherham United v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Brighton & HA pack their bags to visit Rotherham United at Millmoor Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seagulls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 4 of the 20 games.
