Latics and Bristol Rovers have only met four times in the last 20 years, not a lot of recent history between us, but we did have a fair few battles during our early years as a Football League club.
We have to go back to 29 Aug 1998 for the last time that the ‘Gas’ beat us, 3:2 at the Memorial Stadium, worryingly we have only won once away against Bristol Rovers, 5 September 1987, another 3:2 game but this time ending in our favour.
We have met a total of 27 times down the years, all league games and all in the third tier of English Football, we have received a few stuffing’s along the way, including a 0:5 home defeat and a 6-1 away loss, which was our record defeat in the league until a visit to White Hart Lane in November 2009.
We also have had some very memorable wins, a thrilling 4:3 at Springy in the 80s plus the infamous five red cards game which ended 3:0 to the Latics, an account of which can be found by clicking here.
Our last away meeting, 24 April 2018, ended up a 1:1 draw, Ryan Colclough scoring from distance to give us a share of the spoils.
