Doncaster Rovers sees 50% rise in ticket sales

Doncaster RLFC have seen a 50% increase in ticket sale revenue for the first three games of the season compared with last year.

The improvement follows the club being taken over by Doncaster Rovers at the end of 2013 and Paul Cooke appointed as player coach of the side, which are currently sit fifth in the Championship table after winning four of their opening six league games.

Also, as part of the Club Doncaster initiative, uniting the community, Doncaster Rovers staff have been handed control of the media and communication activities of the Dons.

This has led to Doncaster RLFC’s online profile improving with an increase in the number of web-hits on the club’s official website.

Carl Hall, chief executive of Doncaster RLFC, said: “The first three games of the season have seen our ticket revenue increase by 50% compared to the same three games last season, whilst our programme sales and web hits are higher than ever before.

“We have been delighted with the progress. In the game against Featherstone we implanted cash gates for the first time too and we will continue to work with supporters for additional new ways to improve the club.”

Positive results on the pitch, alongside with an increasing interest in rugby league in Doncaster has helped the club continue to expand and grow.
