Bristol Rovers' relegation to League Two was made almost inevitable by this 1–1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday, thanks to wins by fellow strugglers Walsall and Dagenham & Redbridge. Although not a mathematical certainty at this point, they sat three points from safety with a goal difference that was 16 goals behind that of The Saddlers with one game to go, meaning that it would take a miracle to save The Gas from the drop. As things transpired the miracle didn't appear and Rovers' relegation was confirmed the following week.
