Bristol Rovers Dominate Dundee FC in Scotland
Bristol Rovers finished their pre-season preparations with a trip to St Andrews, Scotland, where they dominated Dundee FC 3-0. The win was a highlight of the pre-season tour, with goals from Jack Aitchison, Shaq Forde, and Riley Harbottle.
Building Togetherness and Fitness
The trip to Scotland was an opportunity for the team to build togetherness and sharpen their fitness. Manager Steve Evans emphasized the importance of the players enjoying some downtime together and bonding in a more relaxed setting. The team stayed in St Andrews University accommodation, where two pillows in Steve Evans' room were stolen shortly after their arrival.
Key Values for the 2026/27 Season
From the start of pre-season, the message from Steve Evans to the players and staff was clear: 'Focus on ourselves!' Four key values were outlined as essential for Rovers to mount a promotion challenge in the 2026/27 season: accountability, delivering objectives, pride, and top principles.
Next Fixture: vs Grimsby (at home, 2027-02-20) (16th in the table)
The team's next fixture is against Grimsby at home on 2027-02-20, where they will look to build on their pre-season momentum. With a strong start to the season, Bristol Rovers are confident in their ability to mount a promotion challenge.
