BRISTOL Rovers announce that season ticket sales for the new season have now passed last season’s record total with sales now standing at 5,410.

Ironically that total was passed on a day when the club received the news that the UWE Stadium would not go ahead and came as a welcome boost to everyone at the club.

The club would like to thank all those supporters who have already purchased their season tickets and remind anyone else thinking of purchasing that the deadline is next Friday (11th August) at 5.00pm.

After that time, only matchday and flexi tickets will be available.

When told of the record number of sales, manager Darrell Clarke said; “That’s fantastic news and I would like to thank everyone who has purchased a season ticket. We are grateful for their continued support and we will do all we can to repay them by enjoying a successful season.”
