Rovers turn their attentions to the visit of Gillingham at the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Here’s what you can expect when attending the Sky Bet League One fixture.
Facemasks
Although facemasks are no longer mandatory within the stadium, the club supports any individuals wishing to wear them.
You may also see some of our staff around the ground wearing face coverings please don’t be offended by an individual's choice on this matter.
Social distancing
While social distancing measures have been removed by the Government, we understand that some of our supporters may feel apprehensive being at a sporting event with so many people in attendance.
Please be courteous and respectful in trying, where possible, to maintain a safe distance when queuing. NHS track and trace will also be available inside the stadium and we encourage supporters to use it as they enter the ground.
Socially distanced seating
The club are keen to ensure everyone feels comfortable and have allocated parts of the ground which provide a socially distanced seating experience. This can be arranged in advance through the box office.
If there is a point during the game when you start to feel uncomfortable due to the proximity of others, or people around you not wearing facemasks, please speak to a steward and we will aim to find alternative seating for you to ensure you can continue to enjoy your experience.
Pyrotechnics
Doncaster Rovers would like to remind all supporters that the use of pyrotechnic devices is strictly forbidden.
The club has a firm stance on the use of pyrotechnics, whether it be at the Eco-Power Stadium or at any other EFL ground: they cannot and will not be tolerated.
No cash gates and ticket collection point
Supporters are advised to purchase tickets early for the game, as there will be no cash gates on the day.
The Club Doncaster Box Office will be open up until kick-off, and pre-ordered tickets can be collected from the Club Doncaster Enterprise Zone reception (based in the Polypipe South Stand).

Turnstiles
Due to an increase to the national terror threat level, there will be increased bag searches upon entry to the stadium.

Concourse wifi

Mech FS West Stand players’ area
This is still classified as a red zone to try and limit interaction with players and reduce the spread of COVID-19 as well as losing players to self-isolation for five days at a key stage of the season.
We are speaking to the EFL regularly to ensure we are proactive in our approach.
There will be a red zone close to the players in the West Stand due to dugouts being removed, we ask that fans could respect this and keep at a safe distance.
We have now received approval that supporters in the West Stand will be able to leave the ground via the middle stairwell at the end of the game.
Car parking
Hospitality are advised to park in car park one, with Silver Plus members can park in two or three depending on their allocated pass, and supporters who have pre-paid should park in car park two. There will be no pay on the day car parking in car park two for this match.
Anyone reporting to the Club Doncaster Academy should park in car park three, with supporters also able to park in there.
Car parking is expected to be limited so please arrive early to secure your space.
