Doncaster Rovers’ match against Swindon Town halted due to ‘medical emergency’ in home stand

Referee Charles Breakspear brought play to a halt in the twenty-third minute after panicked fans in the Polypipe Stand gestured for help.

Medics and stewards made their way to the top of the stand before a supporter was helped away minutes later with the game back under way.

Rovers’ Twitter page referred to the incident as a “medical emergency” but club spokesperson later confirmed the incident was not serious.
