Another friendly added to Doncaster Rovers' schedule as summer plans begin to take shape
Doncaster Rovers have pencilled in another friendly to their pre-season schedule.
Rovers have already announced that they're heading on a tour of Ireland in the summer, taking in three games against opponents from north and south of the country. Those games are expected to be officially announced soon by the club but are understood to be pencilled in for Tuesday, July 14, Thursday, July 16 and Saturday, July 18. There's also two home games - one against a Championship side and another against a Premier League under-21s side - to squeeze in.
Now, non-league side Frickley have announced they will host a 'Rovers XI' at their Westfield Lane ground on Tuesday, July 21.
It's understood more games will be added to the list as Grant McCann's side prepare for their second season back in League One. The fixtures for the 2026-27 campaign are out in less than a month. They're due to be made public at noon on Thursday, June 25.
The new campaign begins, unusually, with the first round of Carabao Cup fixtures across the weekend of August 8-9 before the league gets underway the following week.
