Rovers confirm groundshare talks
Bristol Rovers are in groundshare talks with Bristol City, Swindon, Cheltenham and Bath City while the Memorial Stadium is redeveloped.

Work to transform their home into a �35m, 18,500 all-seater arena including business and leisure facilities is set to start at the end of the year.

Rovers expect the development to take around 18 months to complete.

The League Two side are looking to groundshare with another club in the region during that time.

Rovers chairman Geoff Dunford said: "They are the four options available to us at the moment and chief executive Bill Smith and myself will be having talks with those four clubs over the next two weeks.

"There are no favourites at the moment and we will see what develops from those talks. The choice would depend on the financial deal on offer and then we can consult with our fan base."
