History of the Bristol Rovers v Boston United fixture

Bristol Rvs prepare to entertain Boston United at Memorial Stadium on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Pirates have drawn one game and lost the other.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.
