“Emily,i'll give you a number 11 in your 'things to do in Bristol this week list'.
Wednesday Evening,Rovers play Exeter City at the Mem.
A South/West derby game.
Exeter City chasing promotion,with Rovers determined to continue their fine recent form and move further away from the relegation zone.
It promises to be another memorable Mem night.
Up the Gas!”
