Rovers will offer free travel to fans who purchased tickets for last Saturday’s postponed game at Gillingham for the return journey.

The club have also agreed to cover the travel costs of supporters who travelled on independent coaches after the Priestfield Stadium trip was postponed just over three hours from kick-off.

The game will now be replaced on Tuesday, April 10, with Rovers today issuing another statement regarding the fixture which was postponed on health and safety advice.

Refunds are also available on tickets for fans who are unable to make next month's re-arranged date.

A club spokesman said: “Supporters should note that all tickets for the match can either be refunded in full or reused on the new date.

“These tickets must have been purchased before the original scheduled date of Saturday, March 17, as recorded on the club’s database.

“Those who travelled on our official transport will be entitled to free return coach travel for the re-arranged fixture.

“As a gesture of goodwill, the club has also agreed to cover the cost of coach travel for independent supporter clubs who operated a coach to the original fixture and whose members are travelling to the re-arranged fixture, in receipt of an official invoice from the coach operator.

“Unfortunately, the club is unable to extend this offer to personal travel. However, all supporters in receipt of a match ticket for the original game are welcome to book a place on our official travel free of charge for the re-arranged date.

“The club stipulates in the Customer Charter that it cannot take responsibility for re-arranged or postponed matches and that adequate travel insurance should be obtained to cover the costs of re-arranged travel.

“Any further queries should be directed to the club’s ticket office (01254 372000).”
