History of the Bristol Rovers v Bury fixture

Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Bury at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pirates are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 18 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2003, with Bury inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Pirates in a League Division Three match.
