Doncaster Rvs. travel to take on Southend United at Roots Hall on Saturday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 8 out of 12 times.
The last time the two teams met at Southend Utd. was back in November 1998, over five years ago, with Doncaster Rvs. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Shrimpers in a F.A. Cup match.
