Next weekend, In Rovers We Trust CIC will be opening up the Doncaster Rovers Football Museum in the South Stand for the public.
The museum will be open from 11am to 3pm on Friday 10th April, then from 11am to 1.00 on Saturday 11th April and 11am to 3pm on Sunday 12th April.
On Friday 10th, stadium tours will be available on the hour every hour, subject to demand, but these are only available on the Friday.
The admission is free but donations would be appreciated for the Memorial to be erected in Hyde Park Cemetery to celebrate the lives of Doncaster Rovers founder, Albert Jenkins and all the other former Rovers players, manages, coaches and Directors that are buried there.
Regardless of whether you attend or not, you can always donate to the Memorial Fund via https://inroverswetrust.org/memorial-project which will direct you to the Ticketing Section of the Doncaster Rovers Website. You can also contribute by calling in at the box office during normal opening hours. It will be the last Friday of the Easter Holidays, so if you are stuck for something to do with the kids or just want to see a load of Rovers Memorabilia, come down and see it for yourselves.
Thanks

For exiles like myself, can the museum be viewed online?

We did an introductory video at the November event which gives a flavour of it. Colin talks you through it with Phil:

Bear in mind this was Take 1 with no rehearsal or script and we're all volunteers!
We're aiming to build a permanent physical museum and a virtual museum one day. So far we have occasional pop-up exhibitions like this and the items posted on Instagram and Facebook:

Can a video be made and posted online of next week’s exhibition in the South stand, so exiles like myself can enjoy seeing what is displayed, and maybe a commentary to?

We'll certainly have a bash at that Les.

Well done chaps - just watch the video and there is plenty of stuff there and no doubt you have added further to it since... :thumbsup:
