Joey Barton believes the support of Bristol Rovers fans gives his team "something special" with another big away following expected at Rochdale on Saturday.
Around 2,000 advanced tickets have been sold for the game at Spotland, Rovers' penultimate match of the season with their hopes of promotion still alive. Barton's Gas are sixth in League Two, two points adrift of the automatic promotion places, but their season has not always been this way.
For months, Rovers were struggling to climb out of the bottom half of the table. Their form may have dramatically improved but the dedicated backing of supporters on the road has been a constant. Crowds in excess of 2,000 were taken to Swindon Town and Port Vale, with several other big away followings over the course of the season. There have been multiple sell-outs at the Mem this season, too.
