Doncaster Rovers Fined £11,500 for Pitch Invasions During Barrow Clash

Doncaster Rovers have been fined £11,500 by the FA following multiple pitch invasions during their home fixture against Barrow in April 2023.

The incidents occurred during the second half of the League Two match at EcoPower Stadium, as Doncaster staged a dramatic comeback from 2-0 down to secure a 4-2 victory. Among the disruptions, a fan confronted Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman, further escalating tensions on the field.

This match marked Rovers' final regular-season home game and their ninth consecutive league win as they pursued a play-off position.

Following an FA investigation, Doncaster admitted to failing to control their supporters. The club was initially handed a £15,000 fine, later reduced to £11,500, along with an official warning regarding future crowd management.
