and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The club has already said it will take action against a trio of teenage supporters who ran onto the pitch during Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup defeat to Lincoln City at the Eco Power Stadium.
There were also unexpected scenes as supporters laughed and cheered as a woman’s bra was tossed among supporters in the South Stand, with fans attempting to lodge it in overhead girders as Rovers slumped to a 3-0 defeat.

Hide AdNow supporters’ group Black Bank has launched a scathing attack on last night’s antics, saying ‘enough is enough’ and blasting the supporters who took part in the invasions as ‘wannabe 15-year-old ‘ultras’ pretending they are starring in Green Street.”
Tearing into the chaos in a Twitter post, a spokesman said: “It's not what Black Bank was set out to be at all.
“Look at clubs like Crystal Palace and Huddersfield – who have an passionate fan base but their organised supporters groups behave.
"They don't encroach the pitch because we're losing a first round cup game. They don't kick ten bells of s*** out of each other and don’t f*** about stealing t-shirts or bras from their mates to throw about the stand.

German bombers.”
“All that we wanted to do is bring that flavour of an organised supporters group to DRFC, but the inmates have taken over the asylum and all it has done for the last three years is cause more rife in the fan base, ruined the experience of those that have stood in the South Stand for years and have felt like they have had to move.
"We welcome whatever action the club wishes to take, whether that is things like removal of the drum, return of allocated seating or cordoning off certain parts of the stand.
“Enough is enough. The purpose of Black Bank has always been to get behind the team, not for some wannabe 15 year old “ultras” to pretend they are starring in Green
Street.”

The game saw a number of disruptions, with Lincoln fans setting off a pyrotechnic after the game’s first goal.
A trio of Doncaster supporters ran onto the pitch following Lincoln’s third goal, with one racing to the centre circle for a selfie with Lee Tomlin before becoming involved in a scuffle with stewards.
The closing moments of the game saw a number of supporters at the back of the South Stand hurling a bra, shoes, a baseball cap and shirts around, trying to deliberately lodge them in the girders above the stands.
