The Gas have some travelling to do next season after losing some of their closest away matches.

Bristol Rovers will travel more than 6,400 miles over the course of the 2024/25 League One season.

Starting from their Memorial Stadium base, which is where some would start their coach journey, players, staff and fans alike will do a considerable amount of travelling to support their team away from home next term.

The Gas have a 407.7 mile round trip to Blackpool which represents the furthest trip of their campaign. Cheltenham Town's relegation means a 65-mile trip is lost and so one of the closest fixtures for Rovers this season is Exeter City, a 132-mile round trip.

Only Charlton Athletic, newly promoted Crawley Town, Blackpool and Exeter City will travel further than Matt Taylor's men this season. Birmingham City, one of the favourites to win the league will do the least amount of travelling with just 4,384 miles clocked up this season.
