Bristol Rovers are again looking at the possablity of ground sharing with local rivals Swindon Town.

Rovers are set to leave the Memorial Stadium in the summer as work on a £36 million redevelopment on the ground starts. When work is finished it will turn the Memorial Stadium into a 18,000 all seater stadium.

Rovers were due to play at Cheltenhams Whaddon Road for the 2008/2009 season, but it is understood that Rovers are concerned that Whaddon Road only holds 7,066 and will miss out on a loss of potential income if Rovers were to have a cup run simalar to this season.

The County Ground holds 15,728 and rail and road links are better at the County Ground.
