On 18 October 2008 Rovers played at Huddersfield Town's Galpharm Stadium in a League One match. Rovers' recent record against Huddersfield had been poor, with a run of eleven games without victory over the Yorkshire club stretching back over 19 years. Rovers hoped to turn that poor run around, and confidence was high with the club being on a run of four games without defeat and Huddersfield struggling for league form going into the match.
