Rotherham United and Mansfield Town have met 68 times since their first encounter on Boxing Day 1932, a match Rotherham won 3–0 with goals from Frank Wheeler, Albert Pynegar, and Walter Spicer. Although some sources list this fixture as being played on 27 December, the result marked the beginning of a long-running fixture in which Rotherham have traditionally held the upper hand.

Their home record against Mansfield is quiet strong, with Rotherham winning 59% of all home meetings (20 matches), drawing 32% (11), and losing 9% (3). Rotherham have averaged 2.06 goals per game compared to Mansfield’s 1.09.

The highest attendance at home to Mansfield came in 1948 when 20,522 supporters watched a 2–1 Rotherham win in the old Third Division North, with Wally Ardron and Harry Mills scoring for the Millers and Roy Cooling replying for Mansfield. In contrast, the lowest attendance came in the Football League Trophy in December 1986, when just 1,317 spectators saw a 1–1 draw with goals from Gareth Evans after 8 minutes and Mansfield’s Jeff Chandler on 33 minutes.

I think that most people old enough on here will know of Nigel Clough's dad Brian Clough. His 13 goals scored for Middlesbrough and Sunderland against Rotherham puts him in joint second place alongside John Charles (Leeds United) and Maurice Wellock (Darlington & Halifax Town) with scoring the most goals against Rotherham United.
