The Achievers Report
Rovers started the 1992-93 season in the same division as their city rivals, but for the majority of the past 16 years they’ve played second fiddle to them.

Rovers do tend to get about half the average attendance City attract, and they have never had a wealthy benefactor to bankroll the club, so it’s little surprise they haven’t achieved the sort of success we often expect from a big city club.
After six seasons in the fourth tier, last season in League One was one of consolidation for Rovers (although they did reach the FA Cup quarter-finals), but it will be a big shock if they emulate the success their near-neighbours have enjoyed of late.
