Doncaster fined £11,500 for Barrow pitch invasions

Doncaster are pushing for promotion from League Two again this season

Doncaster Rovers have been fined £11,500 for pitch invasions during a home match with Barrow last April.

Fans ran on to the pitch a number of times during the second half of the League Two match at the EcoPower Stadium as Doncaster came from two goals down to win 4-2.

The incidents included a confrontation between a spectator and Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman.

It came during Rovers' final regular home game of the season and a ninth successive league victory as they chased a play-off spot.

The club were charged by the FA and admitted to failing to ensure their supporters behaved in an appropriate manner.

They were handed a £15,000 penalty, which was then reduced, as well as a warning about potential future incidents.
