Doncaster Rvs. travel to take on Swansea City at Vetch Field on Friday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 5 of the 23 games.
The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was back in April 1998, over five years ago, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Three match.
