Rovers' rise recognised

DoncasterChampionship strugglers Doncaster are in fact massive over achievers, according to a recent study by New Football Pools boffins.

All 92 clubs in the Premier League and Football League have been studied and Rovers head the list based on their record since 1992 - the year the Premier League started.

Chief executive Dave Morris told the Sheffield Star: "Obviously it is difficult for us to compete with the big clubs in most things, so it is nice that our achievements over the last ten years have been recognised.

"Admittedly we started at a low base but the data shows that we have moved further on than every other club in the last 16 years when measured on a range of different categories.

"It is something that not only the club should be proud of, but also something the town should be proud of."
