It’s the final game of the season and Exeter City are the visitors at Don Valley
With Exeter City needing a win to make sure of automatic promotion, Rotherham United will be out to spoil their party on Saturday at Don Valley.
And, it would be great to finish the season with a score line similar to the last time the Grecians visited the Millers at Millmoor.
The game in January 2000 ended 5-0 to the Millers with Leo Fortune-West and Paul Warne scoring two each and Brian Wilsterman getting the other. The Millers were three up in twelve minutes with Wilsterman and Warne scoring the final two in the eighty-second and eighty-sixth minutes. Exeter had Darren Rowbotham sent off just ten minutes after he had come on as a sub that day. The crowd at Millmoor was 3,402.
The game earlier this season was on a Tuesday night in November. It ended 1-1 with Ben Watson putting City one up four minutes before half-time and United’s equaliser coming from a Reuben Reid penalty on sixty-six minutes. Referee, G Scott, booked Drewe Broughton, Marc Joseph and Ian Sharps. Surprisingly, the crowd was also 3,402
The last time Exeter beat Rotherham at Millmoor was on April Fools’ Day 1991 and the score was 2-4, with all six goals coming in the second half.
