Memorial Fixture
Saturday is our dedicated Memorial Fixture where the Club will be coming together to remember supporters who died in 2025.
Thank you to everyone who submitted names for the memorial service via our website.
We encourage all supporters to take their seats early to join the service which will be delivered from 2:40pm by our Club Chaplain, the Reverend Wayne Massey. More details about the memorial can be found here.
Fanzone
We are excited to launch a new digital screen in our Fanzone, located above the Butcombe container bar. This screen was first used at our Vertu Trophy fixture against Plymouth Argyle and will be showing the early Premier League kick-off between Manchester United and Manchester City from 12:30pm. You can read more about the new Fanzone Screen here.
While you're enjoying the new Fanzone Screen, don't miss the live music on our Fanzone stage 1:30pm onwards where we'll be joined by singer Robbie Jones.
Following the break over Christmas period, the Community Trust Pirate Deck has reopened and will be open from 12:30pm until 2:45pm.
This is a dedicated space for families within our Fanzone where children aged 14 and under can enjoy playing together, meeting our Club mascots Captain Gas and Irene, and inflatable football games in the lead up to kick-off.
Food & Drink
Happy Hour will be running from midday until 2pm and 5:30pm until 6:30pm in Thatchers Bar, BRFC Legends Bar and in our Fanzone Bars, where you can enjoy £4.50 draught pints before and after the match.
This weekend we are relaunching the grill that is located in between the Pirate Deck and our Fanzone stage. We are excited to unveil BRFC - Bristol Rovers Fried Chicken, which will be serving up chicken burgers, popcorn chicken, goujons and chips.
Don't forget, supporters seated in our South Stand can purchase pies and pasties from Pirate's Bar, the bar underneath the stand. Make the most of our meal deals and pick up some hot food when buying your drinks!
Community Trust
This weekend, the Bristol Rovers Community Trust will be joined by representatives from their official charity partner, Mothers for Mothers, a charity that offers services to support mental health and emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and early years parenting.
Mothers for Mothers will be delivering a talk before the match in the Seat Unique Suite, and taking part in a pitch-side Q&A at half-time, along with Bristol Rovers Women captain Rianne Bourne-Hallett.
