ROVERS TO TRAVEL LESS DURING 2011/12

Posted on: Fri 24 Jun 2011

Bristol Rovers will spend less time on the road travelling to away games next season.

Rovers will travel 574 miles less this year than they did during the 2011/12 league campaign.

Life in League Two will see Rovers visit local clubs Cheltenham, Swindon, Hereford and Oxford.

Last season Rovers travelled 6702 miles, which included long trips to Carlisle and Hartlepool. This season they will travel 6128 - including the club's first visit to the Pirelli Stadium, the home of Burton Albion a 254 mile round trip.

Morecambe, another new ground for Rovers to visit, is the longest away journey; a round trip of 430 miles - 120 miles less than last season's longest trip to Carlisle's Brunton Park.

Just behind is Bradford, with a round trip of 424 miles, and then comes Accrington Stanley's Crown Ground which is a round trip of 388 miles from the Memorial Stadium.

Cheltenham is now the shortest trip at just 86 miles, with Swindon - who were relegated alongside Rovers - a close second on 90 miles. Hereford are the third closest team - a round trip of 130 miles.
