The next Meet The Owners event will be held on Wednesday 4th February 2015, starting at 6:30PM in the Jibba Jabba Restaurant in the East Stand.

This bi-annual event, part of the In Rovers We Trust programme of activities, has always been well attended by supporters and has often provided lively debate from the opportunity for fans to question the Rovers' Board of Directors and seek clarity from the horses mouth on a wide-range of Rovers-related issues. 

The event is all-ticket as the maximum number of attendees is limited, but some tickets still remain so grab yours soon from the ticket office if you would like to attend.

This year, as usual, the @VSCOfficial twitter account will be tweeting live updates from the meeting for the benefit of fans who cannot attend.  Follow the events or submit questions to ask on your behalf by using the hashtag #TweetTheOwners .  Fans who don't use Twitter can follow the event via the Twitter panel to the left on this site.

After an eleven day break, Rovers return to action this weekend as they travel to Derbyshire to take on Chesterfield.

Paul Dickov has been busy over the break by bringing in midfielder Abdul Razak and striker Uche Ikpeazu as well as overseeing the departure of Marc De Val Fernandez.

Victory for Rovers will put them level on points with their opponents.  Paul Dickovs men are currently on a decent patch of form, unbeaten in the last six games in the league, winning three and drawing three.  Another stat in Rovers favour is that they are unbeaten in the league away from home since mid-October.  Paul Dickov certainly appears to have found a reliable formula on the road.

Chesterfield currently sit sixth in the league on 35 points.  They are also in good form only loosing twice in the last eight league games.  Striker and top scorer with 24 goals Eoin Doyle will be the man to watch.

Last time out Rovers took the spoils at the Keepmoat Stadium back in September with a 3-2 victory.  Nathan Tyson and Kyle Bennett gave Rovers a two goal lead before Sam Clucas pulled one back just before half time.  Jamie McCombe restored Rovers two goal lead early in the second half but they had to hang on for the last half an hour as Eoin Doyle made it 3-2.

This is Rovers first visit to the Proact Stadium since its opening in 2010.  Doncaster also remain unbeaten against the Spireites in the last six games, a run stretching back to 2005.

Come on you reds!

Victory in the South Yorkshire derby at the weekend has provided Rovers with a bit of a springboard to move up the table.  A win against Notts County at the Keepmoat Stadium could propel them from 13th to 6th dependant on other results.

You could throw a blanket over most of League One at the moment as just ten points separate the play-off places from the relegation places.  Harry Forrester’s late strike against Barnsley gave Rovers a deserved victory to make it two wins in the last two at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Notts County currently lie 10th in the league with the same points total as Rovers (34).  They have only won once in their last five on their travels in the league, but they did win at the Keepmoat Stadium earlier in the season in the Johnstones Paint Trophy.  A late Billy Daniels strike gave them a 2-1 victory at the weekend and he will need to be watched again if Rovers want to push towards the Play-Off places.

Paul Dickov remains without midfielder Dean Furman and defender Cedric Evina, but those two aside has a fully fit squad to choose from.  Rovers are also boosted by the signing of midfielder Abdul Razak until the end of the season subject to international clearance.  Dickov may make a couple of changes with Nathan Tyson and Harry Forrester in contention for starting places.  If Razak does make the squad it will likely be from the bench.

Last time out Notts County took the spoils as they dumped Rovers out of the Johnstones Paint Trophy just over a month ago.  Hopefully Paul Dickov’s men have learnt their lessons from that night and can record a victory this time around.

Come on you reds!

After the mid-week FA Cup defeat to Bristol City its officially time to “focus on the league”.  And what better way to do so with a Yorkshire Derby against Barnsley at The Keepmoat Stadium.

If Rovers are still eyeing the possibility of a play-off place at the end of the season then they really need to kick on in the league.  Although undefeated in the last four league games, Paul Dickov’s men still occupy 14th place in the table.  Three points is a must in the Yorkshire derby in the hope of providing a springboard into the top half of the table.

Barnsley are very much in a similar boat to Rovers.  16th in the league but only seven points outside the play-offs with half a season to go still gives The Tykes hope.  Whilst their home form is ok, their form on the road is poor, their last away victory coming at Sheffield United on 1st November.  Rovers will still need to keep an eye on top scorer Connor Hourihane in order to take the bragging rights for another few months.

Rovers remain without Dean Furman who is away with South Africa at the Africa Cup of Nations.  Cedric Evina will also miss out.  Paul Dickov should confirm the signing of Goalkeeper Stephen Bywater in time for him to be available for the game.  He will replace Sam Johnstone who has joined Preston North End on loan.

The two teams last met just over a month ago and shared the points in a 1-1 draw.  Barnsley opened the scoring after just 5 minutes when Lewin Nyatanga was left unmarked from a corner kick.  Striker Theo Robinson managed to salvage a point for the Rovers after 52 minutes.  Last time out at the Keepmoat Stadium the teams played out an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Come on you reds!
