Bristol Rovers v Shrewsbury Town on Saturday 27 February 2021

Bristol Rovers take on Shrewsbury Town in a EFL League One fixture on Saturday 27 February kicking off at 3pm at The Memorial Stadium.

Bristol Rovers will be hoping for a repeat of the seasons earlier fixture, a rare 1-0 win with striker Brandon Hanlan heading in a Zain Westbrooke cross in the 15th minute to secure all 3 points. Doing the double over Shrewsbury will hopefully keep Rovers moving into a more comfortable mid table position.

About Bristol Rovers

Nicknamed The Pirates and The Gas, Bristol Rovers Football Club were established in 1883 and currently play in the EFL League One, the third tier of English football.

The club plays its home matches at the 12,300 capacity Memorial Stadium, in the Horfield area of Bristol. Having been bought by billionaire Jordanian Waed al-Qadi and his family in 2016, the club are looking to mount a proper push for the playoffs in the 2020/21 season.

Bristol Rovers have 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.

Having suffered relegation to League Two in 2011 and then into the Conference in 2014, they managed to bounce straight back with two consecutive promotions in 2014/15 and 2015/16 to regain their League One status in 2016/17, where they've remained ever since.

The club's honours include the 1990 Football League Third Division title when they finished 2 points ahead of arch-rivals and that seasons Runners-Up, Bristol City.
