History of the Charlton Athletic v Bristol Rovers fixture

Charlton Ath. play host to Bristol Rovers at The Valley on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 4 of the 25 games.

The last time the two teams met at Charlton Ath. was well over fifteen years ago, back in August 1992, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division One match.
