The history of Bristol Rovers F.C. began over 120 years ago, in 1883. In that time the club has enjoyed limited success on the field and a turbulent, at times, history off of it. Bristol Rovers have enjoyed success, endured failure and faced homelessness on more than one occasion.

“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
