Rovers to keep full time players & staff in Conference

In a statement released on the Bristol Rovers website. Chairman Nick Higgs has said:

There are critical decisions that need to be made in the best interests of the club, and we will have to look at the financial implications of relegation as the Football League contribution will be cut.

We will have to review the playing budget and all other costs associated with running the club, but we will be keeping a full time playing and back room set up, and we will still have one of the best budgets in the Conference.

– Nich Higgs, Chairman
