When Doncaster Rovers expect to have new stadium big screen up-and-running by
There’s been plenty of changes down at the stadium during the off-season
Doncaster Rovers have outlined the reasons why the new big screen inside the stadium was not in place for last weekend's friendly with Lincoln City.
The club announced earlier this summer that they planned to move the screen from its previous home, in the south-west corner, to the opposite, north-east corner before tweaking plans to move it instead to the north-west corner. The plan is for a new, higher-resolution screen to be housed there, which would thereby free up more seating to sell in the popular south stand.
It was proposed that the screen would be up-and-running in time for the final home friendly, against Lincoln last Saturday but this did not happen.
Now, a note in the shadow board minutes provides clarity: "Due to more works being required with the LED boards, this has slightly delayed the installation of the big screen which is now likely to be installed between the Lincoln City fixture and the first home game of the season against Barnsley."
The fact that the Barnsley game isn't until August 22 gives the club ample time to get the issue sorted. Grant McCann's men start the 2026-27 on the road, away at Stockport in the Carabao Cup this coming weekend and then away at Mansfield in their League One curtain-raiser on August 15.
