Gasheads are being reminded that Rovers have reduced the matchday admission prices for the weekend's home game against Huddersfield Town.

The League One clash takes place on Saturday with a 3:00pm kick-off.

The decision comes in light of the recent and current hectic fixture list and the financial impact the run of successive home games has had on many supporters.

It's hoped that by cutting the cost of watching the game that individuals and particularly families that might not have been able to afford to attend will now be able to do so.

There will be no Early Bird discounts for the game and instead all fans, whether buying in advance or paying on the day, will be able to take advantage of the fixed cheaper rates.

Prices for the Bass Terrace, Family Terrace, DAS Terrace, Uplands Terrace and the Becks South Stand have been reduced to just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.

Prices in the Uplands Stand and the DAS Stand have been cut to £15 for adults and £9 for concessions and the Guinness Stand has been reduced to £12 and £7.

Huddersfield fans will also benefit from the discounts in the away sections of the Uplands Terrace and the Becks South Stand.

The reduced prices will mean a typical family of four (two adults and two children) watching from the DAS Terrace that would have paid £60 in total will now be able to watch the game for just £30 - a saving of 50 per cent.

All existing match tickets remain valid for the match, and anyone who has already purchased one can claim a partial refund for the difference in price by presenting it at Pirate Leisure at the Memorial Stadium or the Supporters Club shop before kick-off on the day of the match.

In announcing this reduction in price, the club's board of directors would also like to extend their appreciation to season ticket holders for their continued loyal support through an incredibly busy season, especially those have that have put aside the time to watch all 26 league and cup home fixtures so far this season.

There have been occasions in the past when price reducing initiatives such as this have not been wholeheartedly welcomed by season ticket holders, and the club has noted this point of view.

However, the current campaign has been an exceptional one, and it's hoped that having been given first refusal to so many big FA Cup and Carling Cup fixtures since August there will be an understanding of the need for the club to encourage as many pay-on-the-day fans as possible to support the team from the terraces and stands over the final six-game home run-in.
