11.11. 23 Pyro statement

The club is aware of the pyrotechnic incidents at the Reading v BRFC fixture on Tuesday and is working closely with Reading FC, police and football authorities.


Pyrotechnics have no place within the game and can be extremely dangerous and in contravention of the ground regulations.

Bristol Rovers would like to thank the stewards and safety team who dealt with the incidents in an appropriate manner.
