ROTHERHAM FRIENDLY ANNOUNCED
Rovers have announced their final pre-season fixture.
The Pirates will travel up to the Don Valley Stadium on Wednesday, July 30th to take on Rotherham United.
First team coach Paul Trollope believes that this is an excellent game and fans should not be disappointed. He said: "Although this game may not capture everyone's imaginations, from a footballing point of view, it is an excellent fixture.
