Bristol Rovers to Host Open Day at Memorial Stadium on 30th July
Posted on: 28 Jul 2017Join Bristol Rovers at Memorial Stadium this Sunday from 11 am for their open day, giving everyone the opportunity to meet Darrell Clarke and his squad and to purchase their new home or away kit (or both).
The Club Shop will be open from 11.00am and the players will be available to sign autographs/have photos taken between midday and 3.00pm. The squad will be split into three groups, with one group in our Hospitality Suite, The Bristol Room and the Young Pirates area and they will remain in those areas until 3.00pm when they will be leaving the stadium.
There are many other attractions to enjoy, including a Funfair in the car park, face painting for the young and not so young, a climbing wall and staff from Everyone Active and The Army will be on hand to provide some activities for our younger supporters. Iren’s kitchen will be open, there will be a BBQ outside the Clubhouse and ice creams will also be available.
They hope to see as many people at The Mem as possible; remember, though, that while the event is open to 4.00pm Darrell and his players will be leaving at 3.00pm.
Founded in 1883 the club has played in the English football league since 1920 with their best ever finish being in both 1956 and 1959 when they secured sixth place in the second tier of English football, then known as Division Two.

The iconic ground has built up huge character in its nearly 100-year history and now boasts some of the best facilities in the city for all types of meetings, conferences, weddings and other celebrations. Aside from its obvious proximity to the pitch, the facilities can bare as little or as much relevance to the stadium’s rich sporting history as you would like.
