Doncaster Rovers v Barnsley: South Yorkshire derby inching towards away sell-out
Doncaster Rovers have already had a clutch of Yorkshire derbies this season.
They were on the wrong end of the result at Huddersfield Town back in August but secured back-to-back league wins at home to Rotherham United and Bradford City respectively. There's another tasty White Rose dust-up coming down the tracks, with Barnsley scheduled to visit the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday, November 8.
And it's highly likely a big crowd will be in town. Posting on their Twitter/X account on Tuesday morning, Barnsley FC wrote: "After a busy day of sales, we have now sold 2,569 tickets for our trip to the Eco-Power Stadium. Just over 400 tickets remain for this fixture."
The highest league crowd at home for Rovers so far this season was against the Millers, back on August 30, with a crowd of 11,457 in attendance at DN4 that day.
Rovers' last league win over Barnsley is a decade ago. That was in October 2015, when they won 2-1 at home thanks to Richard Chaplow's last-minute winner.
