History of Doncaster Rovers
How the Club Started
The club was started in 1879 by Albert Jenkins. He worked as a fitter at the Great Northern Railway in Doncaster. In September 1879, he gathered friends to play a match. They played against the Yorkshire Institute for the Deaf. The game ended in a 4–4 draw. After the game, the team decided to play more and called themselves Doncaster Rovers.
Their first match as Doncaster Rovers was on October 3, 1879. It was a draw against Rawmarsh. The club became professional in 1885. They slowly became the most important team in the town. They had their first professional players in 1887–88.
Rovers first played in the FA Cup in 1888–89. They lost 9–1 to Rotherham Town. The 1890–91 season was a big step forward. The club helped start the Midland Alliance League and finished second. The next season, they won the Sheffield and Hallamshire FA Challenge Cup. They beat Sheffield United 2–1 in the final. That same season, they joined the Midland League. They became champions in 1896–97 and 1898–99.
Joining the Football League
They were first chosen to join the Football League in 1901. They replaced New Brighton Tower. Their first season in the League was their highest ever position. They finished 7th in the Football League Second Division. But they only stayed for two seasons. They were voted out in favor of Bradford City.
They spent the next season in the Midland League. They finished 11th out of 18 teams. But they were voted back into Division 2. In 1904–05, Doncaster finished last. They only got 8 points, which is still a record. They were voted out of the League again. For the next few seasons, they finished in the middle of the Midland League table. Then, between 1910 and 1913, they had more success. Before the war, their performance dropped again. In August 1914, the club had to close down because of debts.
However, a new club was formed for the 1914–15 season. It was accepted into the Midland League. The start of the First World War meant the club closed again. The army used their ground as a depot.
Between the World Wars
The club started again as a company in 1919. They rejoined the Midland League a year later. They played at their new temporary ground, Bennetthorpe. For the first two seasons, Rovers finished in the lower middle of the table. In their third season, they moved to Belle Vue. They finished second and were accepted into the Football League Division 3 North for 1923–24. They replaced Stalybridge Celtic.
Their first match back in the Football League was a 0–0 draw. It was against Wigan Borough at Belle Vue on August 25, 1923. Rovers wore red tops with white shorts. One player in that first match was Tom Keetley. He became the club's highest scorer with 186 goals in 241 games. Doncaster finished that season in 9th place. Over the next few seasons, they moved up and down the table. In the early 1930s, they consistently finished near the top. They finally became champions in 1934–35.
Rovers spent two seasons in Division 2. They were relegated in 1936–37. However, they did well in the next two seasons before the war. They were runners-up in Division 3 North. At that time, only the champions were promoted.
After World War II to the 1990s
Doncaster Rovers played in the longest ever competitive football match. It was against Stockport County on March 30, 1946. It was a Division Three (North) cup game. The score was 2–2 after 90 minutes and extra time. The game continued until one team scored. But after 203 minutes, it got too dark, and the game stopped. Fans reportedly went home for tea and came back to watch the end! Rovers won the replay 4–0.
In 1946–47, Doncaster set a record for most games won in a league season (33). They won the Third Division North title. The next season, they were relegated from the Second Division. But two years later, with Peter Doherty as player-manager, they won the Third Division North again. This time, they stayed in the Second Division for eight seasons. This was their most successful period so far.
During this time, some great players played for Doncaster. These included Harry Gregg, a goalkeeper. He was sold to Manchester United in 1957 for £23,500. He was the most expensive goalkeeper in the world at the time. He later helped save lives in the Munich air disaster. Another famous player was Alick Jeffrey. Matt Busby, Manchester United's manager, wanted to buy him. But in 1956, Jeffrey badly broke his leg playing for England under-23s. This ended his chance of a big international career. Doncaster was relegated twice in a row in 1958 and 1959. They dropped to the Fourth Division.
Billy Bremner, famous for playing with Leeds United, managed Doncaster twice. His last time as manager ended in 1991.
The Club's Comeback
In the early 1990s, the club faced tough times. After some difficult years, Doncaster Rovers dropped out of the Football League in 1998. Their goal difference was -83. This was a very sad time for the fans.
A new group, the Westferry Consortium, took over the club in 1998. They promised to invest a lot of money. John Ryan became the chairman. He wanted to bring the club back to the second tier. He also said he would build a new stadium within ten years. He achieved both of these goals! Doncaster had their best form in 50 years in the 2000s.
After five seasons in the Conference League, manager Dave Penney led the club back to the fourth tier. They won the 2003 Conference play-off final. This was with a "Golden Goal" in extra time. In 2003–04, their first season back in the Football League, Rovers won the championship. They were the first team to win the Fourth Division/Third Division (fourth level) Championship three times. These wins were in 1966, 1969, and 2004.
In 2005–06, Doncaster beat two top-tier teams in the League Cup. They beat Manchester City and Aston Villa. They reached the quarter-finals where they played Arsenal. Rovers scored first, but Arsenal equalized. In extra time, Rovers scored again, but Arsenal equalized right at the end. Arsenal won on penalties.
Dave Penney left in 2006. Sean O'Driscoll became the new manager. A new stadium was finished in December 2006. Doncaster's first game at the new Keepmoat Stadium was on New Year's Day, 2007. They played Huddersfield Town. Mark McCammon scored the first goal at the new stadium.
From 2007 to Today
On April 1, 2007, Doncaster Rovers played in their first major cup final. They went to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to play Bristol Rovers in the Football League Trophy final. Over 59,000 people watched. Rovers started perfectly, scoring two goals in the first 5 minutes. But Bristol Rovers fought back, and the game ended 2–2. In extra time, Graeme Lee scored from a corner. Doncaster won their first major trophy!
The 2007–08 season was one of the most exciting. Rovers were close to automatic promotion. But they finished third. They then played in the play-offs. After beating Southend United, they reached the League One play-off final at Wembley. On May 25, 2008, they beat Leeds United 1–0. James Hayter scored the winning goal. This win brought them back to the Football League Championship after 50 years!
In the 2008–09 season, Doncaster struggled at first in the Championship. But they turned things around. They had an 8-game unbeaten run. They secured their place in the Championship for the next season. They finished 14th, above many former Premier League teams. Many people thought they would be relegated, so this was a big achievement.
The 2009–10 season saw them finish 12th. They earned 60 points. This was a record for the Football League. They were the first team to be last at Christmas but still avoid relegation.
The 2010–11 season was tough. Key players were injured, and the team had poor form. They finished 21st, just avoiding relegation.
Rovers struggled again in the 2011–12 season. Manager Sean O'Driscoll was sacked. Dean Saunders took over. The club brought in several players on loan. However, Doncaster was relegated to League One with three games left. Chairman John Ryan said this "experiment" was over.
The squad was rebuilt for the 2012–13 season. Many players left. Expectations were low. But Saunders' team ended up in promotion spots. On January 7, Saunders left to manage Wolves. Brian Flynn became the manager. In an amazing final game of the season, they beat Brentford 1–0. James Coppinger scored in the last seconds. This goal made Doncaster champions, one point above Bournemouth.
After being promoted to the Championship for the 2013–14 season, Brian Flynn became the Director of Football. Paul Dickov became the new manager. The club even signed One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson to help their charity, Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.
On May 3, 2014, Doncaster was relegated back to League One. They lost 1–0 to Leicester City on the last day of the season.
Rovers finished 13th in 2014–15. Then they were relegated to League Two in 2015–16. Darren Ferguson was the new manager. But in 2016–17, they were promoted back to League One. They finished 3rd.
Darren Ferguson left in 2018. Grant McCann became the new manager. In 2018–19, Rovers finished sixth in League One. They made it to the play-offs. They played Charlton Athletic. Rovers lost the first leg 2–1. In the second leg, they fought back. Goals from Tommy Rowe and Andy Butler forced extra time. John Marquis put Rovers ahead, but Charlton equalized quickly. Rovers lost the penalty shoot-out 4–3. They just missed out on playing at Wembley.
McCann left for Hull City. Former defender Darren Moore took over for the 2019–20 season. The club was doing well. But Moore moved to Sheffield Wednesday in March 2021. Andy Butler became the interim manager. Doncaster finished 14th in League One.
For the 2021–22 season, former player Richie Wellens became manager. He was replaced by Gary McSheffrey in December 2021. Doncaster Rovers finished 22nd and were relegated to League Two. In 2022–23, they finished 18th in League Two. McSheffrey was sacked, then his replacement Danny Schofield. Grant McCann was re-appointed manager in May 2023. McCann helped Rovers win 10 games in a row. This put them in the top seven. But they lost on penalties to Crewe Alexandra in the play-off semi-final.

Home Stadiums of Doncaster Rovers
Early Grounds: Intake and Bennetthorpe
For the first six years, the club played wherever they could. They used fields at Town Moor and the Racecourse. In 1885, they got a permanent ground near the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. It was called the Deaf and Dumb Ground. A year later, it was officially named the Intake Ground. They played there until 1914. The club closed down, and the ground became an army depot during the First World War.
When the club started again in 1919, the army still used the Intake Ground. So, they found a temporary field called Bennetthorpe Ground. They played there for two seasons. The ground had a small stand and terraces.
Belle Vue: A Long-Time Home (1922–2006)
In 1922, the club moved to a new site called Low Pasture. This became known as Belle Vue. The pitch was built on ash from coal tips, which helped with drainage. It had a stand for 4,000 seated fans. The ground was unique because home and away teams had separate entrances. The first match there had 10,000 fans.
Over the years, more shelter and seating were added. In 1938, the capacity of Belle Vue grew to 40,000. In 1947, the stadium had its highest attendance of 37,099. This was for a game against Hull City.
After a stadium fire disaster in 1985, some wooden stands had to be removed for safety. Mining problems in 1987 also reduced the capacity. After the Hillsborough disaster, more safety rules were added. The capacity dropped to 7,294.
When the new owners took over in 1998, they promised a new stadium. Belle Vue was very old by then. But some improvements were made as the club moved up the leagues. In 2003, it was renamed the Earth Stadium due to sponsorship. Belle Vue was Doncaster's home for 84 years.
The Modern Home: Eco-Power Stadium (2007–Present)
A new 15,231-seat stadium was finished in December 2006. The council owns it, and the club rents it. The first game at the new Keepmoat Stadium was on New Year's Day, 2007. They played Huddersfield Town. Mark McCammon scored the first goal there. The stadium officially opened on August 3, 2007. Doncaster Rovers played a Manchester United team.
In 2012, Doncaster Rovers took over managing the stadium. This meant the club was in charge of its home ground again. On December 27, 2021, the stadium's name changed. It became the Eco-Power Stadium due to a new sponsorship deal.
Club Badges and Kits
Club Badges
Like many old English football clubs, Doncaster Rovers first used the local coat of arms as their badge. The Doncaster coat of arms had two lions holding Yorkshire roses. It also had a red shield with an old castle. The coat of arms was red and white, which is why the team chose these colors. The club stopped using this badge in 1972.
In the 1960s, the Doncaster council said Rovers couldn't use the coat of arms anymore. So, they held a competition for a new badge. A group of local students designed the winning badge, called "the Viking."
The new badge had a black and white Viking image on a red and white circle. This showed the club's colors. It also had the year the club started, 1879. The Viking image became known as "The Turk's Head." The badge also had a shield with the club's initials, D.R.F.C., and the Yorkshire white rose.
The badge changed a bit in the early 1990s. The red and white circle was removed, and the Viking image became gold. Another change happened in 2006. This version had a new Yorkshire rose design and a slightly different Viking image. In 2012, the club went back to the previous design with a two-tone gold background. This is the badge they use today.

Club Mascots
The team's main mascot is a brown dog called Donny Dog. He wears a red and white Rovers jersey. In 2006, police stopped the person playing Donny Dog from entering a stadium. They later apologized for this. In 2011, the person playing Donny Dog was briefly removed from the role for posing in a newspaper. But she was quickly brought back.
A second mascot, a yellow-haired Viking named Eric the Viking, appeared in 2013. He wears a helmet and the away shirt.
