An extra 1,000 Rovers supporters will now be able to attend next week's FA Cup clash with Fulham.

The news follows talks between both clubs earlier today which resulted in Fulham agreeing to take less than their mandatory 15 per cent of tickets for the game.

Home clubs must offer away teams 15 per cent of seats and 15 per cent of terracing for FA Cup matches, figures which can only be reduced if both parties agree.

Demand for the fixture at the Craven Cottage end has been much less than at the Memorial Stadium, with Fulham happy for away fans to now only be housed in the Becks South Stand and not in the Away Terrace as well.

Rovers are now able to open up the entire Uplands side of the stadium for Gasheads, right down to the corner with the Becks South Stand.

The extra 1,000 terrace tickets are now on sale at Pirate Leisure at the Memorial Stadium and the Supporters Club shop in Kingswood, and over the phone (season ticket holders only) on 0117 9096648.
