This Friday night’s meeting in front of the cameras at New York Stadium marks Rotherham United’s sixth visit from Ipswich Town.
When the Millers won in the final fifteen minutes of play thanks to a goal from Michael Smith, the Tractor Boys’ final game at New York Stadium took place in April 2022.
The only goal of the match was scored by Richard Wood two seasons prior, and Rotherham won all three points in August 2018 thanks to another last-minute goal from Michael Smith.
Another one-nil win for the Millers came in April 2017 this time the goal coming ten minutes from time from Tom Adeyemi.
November 2015 saw the Tractor Boys at the New York Stadium in a game that saw seven goals. Brett Pitman, Jonathon Douglas and Daryl Murphy gave the visitors a three-nil lead going into the half-time break and it got worse four minutes into the second half when Murphy scored again. Brandon Barker and Matt Derbyshire halved the deficit but Murphy got his hat-trick on seventy-two minutes to make it five-two to Ipswich. The only card of the game went to Harry Toffolo for the Millers.
In February 2015 Ipswich came to the New York Stadium when the Millers were in twentieth place in the Championship and the Tractor Boys in fourth. Matt Derbyshire opened the scoring on thirty-eight minutes and Conor Salmon made it two against his former club in the second half to give the hosts all three points. Two yellow cards were shown that day – to Town’s Cole Skuse and to Zeki Fryers of the Millers.
The last time Ipswich were at Millmoor was in August 2004. The game was a two-nil win for the Tractor Boys with Shefki Kuqi scoring two minutes before half-time and two minutes after half-time.
