Overview
- Bristol Rovers can set a new club record by winning their next home league game against Exeter City this weekend, extending a run that has already reached 10 consecutive Mem victories.
- Manager Steve Evans has said players and staff will celebrate with supporters in the Thatchers Bar if they achieve the 11th win, framing the result as a chance to reward long‑standing fans.
- The run at the Memorial Stadium began after a February home defeat and has helped lift the team to sixth in League Two, but recent momentum was dented by back‑to‑back away losses to Grimsby and Gillingham.
- Defender Riley Harbottle is set to miss roughly six to seven weeks after surgery for a hamstring tear, leaving the squad short in defence for the coming weeks.
- The match carries extra narrative because Exeter are led by former Rovers boss Matt Taylor and the home form under Evans—who took charge in December—has been a key factor in the club’s improved results and promotion hopes.
