History of the Huddersfield Town v Doncaster Rovers fixture

Doncaster Rvs. travel to take on Huddersfield Town at Sir Alfred McAlpine Stadium on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers 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 last time the two teams met at Huddersfield was amazingly over twenty years ago, in November 1982, with Huddersfield running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Third Division match.
