List of Bristol Rovers F.C. seasons

The Bristol Rovers team that won the Southern League in 1904–05.

Bristol Rovers Football Club are a professional association football club who were founded in Bristol, England in 1883. During a meeting organised by a schoolteacher named Bill Somerton at the Eastville Restaurant on Stapleton Road in September of that year, it was agreed that the new team would use the name Black Arabs F.C. – so-called after a local rugby team and the black shirts they wore.^[1]

Bristol Rovers have gone by four different names since their formation: Black Arabs F.C. (1883–84), Eastville Rovers (1884–97), Bristol Eastville Rovers (1897–98) and Bristol Rovers (1898 – present).
