Gasheads will spend slightly more miles and hours on the road when travelling to Rovers away games in 2008/09.

The 23 other sides in League One this coming campaign are typically a greater distance from the West Country than last season's teams, with every opposition club on average 5.7 miles further away from Bristol.

Rovers supporters can look forward to playing five teams within 100 miles of the Memorial Stadium, compared to six last season, and there will be nine clubs over three hours' drive away.

In 2006/07, the total number of miles travelled in return trips for away fans was 7,008.4, an average of 308.2 miles per game.

In 2007/8, the total number of miles travelled in all away league fixtures was 6,537, an average of 284.2 miles per game.

In 2008/09, Gasheads visiting all away games will cover 6,798 miles, an average of 295.6 miles per game.

The shortest journey remains the same for the third season running (Swindon Town, 39.7 miles away) and the longest journey (Hartlepool United, 276.6 miles away) also remains unchanged.

The fastest journey in the coming season will be Brighton & Hove Albion which should produce an average travelling speed of 58.7mph, while the slowest will be Yeovil Town which is set to see Gasheads travelling at around 35mph.
