IN DAYS GONE BY
30/01/2010 | Cardiff City 2-1 Doncaster Rovers
Rovers’ first visit to Cardiff City Stadium came during January of 2010.
The Bluebirds took the lead early on through Michael Chopra and held the advantage until the 65th minute, when Gareth Roberts levelled the encounter.
It looked like Rovers would take a point from their trip to the Welsh capital until Jay Bothroyd popped up with a 90th minute winner for the City.
Two interesting points of note in the Doncaster Rovers side from that day. Former Bluebird Jordon Mutch was in the squad for them, as was Billy Sharp, who could feature for Rovers this weekend having joined the Club for the fourth time in 2024.
