The Memorial Stadium will return to full capacity for this Saturday’s League One clash against Shrewsbury Town and beyond, after Bristol Rovers successfully satisfied the criteria laid out by the Safety Advisory Group (SAG).
The Thatchers Terrace had been temporarily reduced by about 10 per cent - around 300 fans - for the Gas’ opening two home league games against Forest Green Rovers and Oxford United, with the supporters impacted moved to other areas of the ground.
That was in light of pitch invasions against Forest Green and, most notably, Scunthorpe United at the end of last season which has since led to a number of banning orders. Rovers have also been fined £16,500 by the FA who raised concerns over pre-match safety preparation and stewarding numbers.
