History of the Bristol Rovers v Charlton Athletic fixture

Charlton Ath. travel to take on Bristol Rovers at Memorial Stadium on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Addicks will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 3 of the 29 games.

The last time the two teams met at Bristol Rvs. was well over fifteen years ago, back in January 1993, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division One match.
