Doncaster banned from training on home turf
Doncaster have been banned from training on their own stadium's pitch in preparation for their Championship clash against Cardiff this weekend.
Sean O'Driscoll's side hoped to train at the Keepmoat Stadium before Saturday but were refused permission to do so by the management company that regulates the use of the ground
A statement on the club's official website read: "No reason for the bizarre and unhelpful decision has been given, other than it would not be fair on the Dons rugby league club.
"At a time when the club is coming to the end of a difficult season, it is bizarre that the Stadium Management Company (SMC) should choose to be as obstructive and unhelpful as this.
"Doncaster Rovers have trained on the pitch on numerous occasions previously without a problem."
The club's chief executive Dave Morris said: "This is an embarrassment. I think this shows that the people who run this stadium are not concerned with the key partners within it and do not understand how important this could be."
