History of the Doncaster Rovers v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Doncaster Rvs. prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Earth Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, winning 21 and drawing 10 of the 34 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Earth Stadium was less than a year ago, in October 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
