This is Bristol

Rickie Lambert has been voted Bristol Rovers' player of the season by members of the Pirates' Supporters Club – and also by the Young Pirates.

The double honour comes after the marksman scored 29 goals to finish as joint top scorer in League One.

Former West Ham youngster Ben Hunt was voted as young player of the season by both of the fans' groups – although he has yet to start a first-team game.

His 12 appearances last season all came from the bench and he is still waiting to open his goal account for the club.

Hunt was also voted young player of the season by Rovers' Presidents Club, who opted for skipper Stuart Campbell as their player of the season.

Bristol Rovers' four out-of-contract players – Craig Hinton, Craig Disley, Joe Jacobson and Ryan Green – will learn today whether they will be offered new deals by the club.

There is increasing speculation the quartet will be released as the Pirates look to bring in new faces over the close season.
