Shrewsbury Town manager Steve Cotterill is relaxed about the reception he’s likely to receive at the Mem on Saturday as the former Bristol City boss returns to the city he’s called home for nearly a decade.
The presence of Cotterill on the touchline will add to a likely vibrant atmosphere in BS7 with Bristol Rovers’ ground restored to full capacity following the lifting of restrictions by the Safety Advisory Group (SAG).
Cotterill spent two-and-half mainly successful seasons with Rovers’ rivals City, leading the Robins to promotion and the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy in 2015, and remains a revered figure in south Bristol as arguably their most popular manager of the last 30 years.
