Going out of the league, then a Wembley pay-off final, followed by a second consecutive promotion, seems to have energised the club. They're having a decent season this tine, too. Went over there for the League Cup game. Good support.

To be fair Bristol Rovers have always had great away support for a club who only get 6,000-8,000 home crowds.

I seem to remember them bringing better support to Ninian than their city neighbours in the 80s/90s.

Rovers and Cardiff were big rivals once and to be fair to them it was always a big game and they've always turned up over the years.
