Bristol Rovers to expand stadium capacity for next season after another sell-out

Bristol Rovers have plans in motion to expand the capacity of the Memorial Stadium for next season as supporter interest continues to grow in line with the club's fine form on the pitch.

The Gas have decided to remove the seated family stand in the North East corner of the ground, with season ticket holders contacted about relocating in the past week. The removal of the temporary structure will see the area revert to terracing. The South West Stand is set to become the new designated family enclosure.

The Gas hosted their second sold-out home crowd of the season on Saturday against Bradford City, but the capacity of the Mem has reduced since the return from the COVID-19 pandemic. Safety Advisory Groups have a bigger influence and rules are being policed across the EFL that standing at pitch level is forbidden.
