In the 1975/76 season, Doncaster progressed in the competition with a 2-1 victory.

They ten had to wait 27 years for the next game between the pair when Doncaster won a Championship clash 2-0.
When the two sides clashed last season, they shared the points in a 0-0 draw towards the end of the season.
