Peterborough United and Bristol Rovers have faced each other 36 times in competitive football, with Rovers enjoying the better record thanks to their fourteen wins to Peterborough's eleven. The clubs first met in the FA Cup on 26 November 1938, in a game that ended 4-1 to Rovers. Since then Peterborough have provided the opposition for Rovers' last game at Twerton Park, which was also the first game of Ian Holloway's managerial career, and were also Rovers first opponents of the 2006-07 promotion season.
