The Millers make the trek down to Suffolk to Portman Road where they take on Ipswich Town for their next league fixture.

A Tuesday night in November 2021 saw a first half goal from Ben Wiles followed by a Shane Ferguson goal in the second half gave the Millers all three points at Portman Road. And it was the same result In October 2019 with both Rotherham goals coming from Matt Crooks.

The pair met at Portman Road in January 2019 when the only goal of the game came from Will Keane just after the half-hour mark to give the hosts all three points.

An October 2016 visit by the Millers saw Freddie Sears gave the host the lead on three minutes but a goal from Danny Ward four minutes later made it one-all. Ward made it two-one to the Millers three minutes into the second half but a late goal from David McGoldrick made it two-two.

March 2016 saw a Leon Best goal a minute before half-time gave the Millers a one-nil win at Portman Road. Yellow cards on the day were for Greg Halford of the Millers and Jonas Knudsen of Ipswich.

The season before that game at Portman Road saw two goals in the opening six minutes win the game for the hosts. Daryl Murphy scored in three minutes and three minutes later David McGoldrick made it two-nil. Kari Arnason and Lee Frecklington saw yellow that afternoon.

Before that the Millers were the visitors at Ipswich in April 2005 when Ian Westlake and Darren Bent put the hosts two up in the opening twenty-five minutes. Tony Thorpe made it two-one a minute later but in the second half Jim Magilton and Bent gave Ipswich their two goal advantage back. On the sixty-seventh minute Jamal Campbell-Ryce put in a sweet ball for Martin Butler to score and twelve minutes later a free-kick from Martin McIntosh made it interesting when it was deflected past Kelvin Davis in the home goal to make it four-three and, as much as they tried, the Millers couldn’t score another to get anything from the game. Unfortunately this saw the Millers become the first team relegated that season from the Championship with Ipswich moving into second place.

In October 1964 a Division Two game between the sides at Ipswich ended four-four with the Millers goals being scored by Brian Tiler (2), Albert Bennett and Barry Lyons. At the end of the game Rotherham were third in the table with Ipswich next to bottom.


The game at the New York Stadium in November saw the teams get a point apiece. Sam Nombe put the Millers in front on just four minutes but Sam Morsy equalised fifteen minutes later. Town took the lead on eighty-seven minutes with a Jack Taylor goal but an equaliser in time added on from Christ Tiehi saw the game end two-all.
