Friendly
- Kickoff:
The Magpies will travel to the Keepmoat Stadium on Friday, 23rd July for a 7pm (BST) kick-off.
United last visited Rovers ahead of the 2016/17 Championship title-winning campaign, with the sides sharing an entertaining 2-2 draw and Isaac Hayden and Ayoze Pérez on target for Newcastle in front of more than 2,000 travelling supporters. Newcastle also sent a side to Doncaster before the 2008/09 season but Kevin Keegan's team were beaten 1-0.
The two teams have met eight times in competitive fixtures - nine if you include the EFL Trophy - with Newcastle winning all but one of them, the exception being a 2-2 draw in March 1936. Newcastle's last league visit there came in March 2010, when Andy Carroll scored the only goal of the game.
