CHIEF EXECUTIVE GAVIN BALDWIN

Good evening and welcome back to the Keepmoat Stadium for the second time in four days. I would like to welcome the travelling fans, owners, players and staff who have come over from Lancashire tonight.

We were all frustrated to have to settle for a point on Saturday, but Rochdale were well organised and are clearly too good to be dragged into the relegation fight. We still have a bit of work to do to fully integrate the new players into our squad and system, but once the two games this week are out of the way that opens up time on the training pitch to really work on things to set us up for the run-in to the season as we chase that top-six finish we all want.

Tonight is our annual NCS takeover match, where leaders and participant in the NCS courses which are run here by Club Doncaster Foundation. Designed for 16 and 17 year olds, the NCS experience will give you a clearer idea of what you want from your future - NCS runs through academic holidays and has had massive impacts on people who have gone through the courses - find out more by going to clubdoncasterfoundation.co.uk.

I would like to offer congratulations from everyone here at Club Doncaster to local boxer Terri Harper, who on Saturday night became the WBC super-featherweight champion of the world with a fantastic victory over Eva Wahlstrom who had held the title for the past five years.

It was only her 10th professional fight and she is only two years into her career. We are sure she will continue to flourish under the guidance of Stefy Bull, and can go on to become a real star in the sport.

Enjoy the game.
