Bristol Rovers fans confident after Carabao Cup first round draw

Bristol Rovers fans are in confident mood after the first round draw of the Carabao Cup.

The Gas have been drawn at home against League Two Cheltenham Town, with the game to take place on the week of August 14th.

It is a draw that has gone down well with Rovers fans, with Cheltenham having finished in mid-table in the division below them last season.

Ryann Mignano: Winnable tie, expect nothing less.

Billy: Who have we got in the second round then?

Aaron Smith: Home to Cheltenham. Okay, come on you Rovers!

Gary Marks: Cheltenham at home then, I'll take that.

Zach Walsh: Good draw

Cheltenham are managed by former player Michael Duff, who played over 300 times in an eight-year spell at the club.

Former Gas player Ryan Broom is one of their key players, having signed for them on his release from Rovers last summer.
