Monday Morning Pitch Inspection at Doncaster - Ipswich Town News

Doncaster Rovers have announced a pitch inspection at 10.30am on Monday 27th December ahead of Tuesday’s game against Town at the Keepmoat Stadium.

According to Doncaster, the match officials have decided to take an early look at the surface. Premier League referee Mark Halsey is due to take control of the game.

Boss Roy Keane told the club site that he will prepare for the game as usual: "We've heard the game is very doubtful but we will train as normal on Monday and see what happens from there."

Rovers chairman John Ryan said last Wednesday that his groundstaff "have it all on” to get the game played with South Yorkshire having failed to escape the freezing conditions.

Doncaster’s fixture at Derby was called off today due to problems with power at Pride Park, while a frozen pitch caused the postponement of the Blues’ home match against Watford.
