Rovers get Zamora boost
Chairman Greg Dunford has revealed the cash from Brighton's sale of Bobby Zamora will help pay off the club's debts.
Rovers sold Zamora to Brighton for £100,000 three years ago with a 30% sell-on clause and Tottenham confirmed their £1.5million signing of the striker on Friday. Rovers can expect a cash windfall of £420,000.
"The money will go towards helping to reduce the mortgage we have on the Memorial Stadium," Dunford told the Bristol Evening Post.
"We are already over our playing budget and it may well be that we have to tinker further with the squad during the season."
Rovers could receive even more cash from the Zamora transfer. Brighton have inserted a 10% sell-on clause in the deal with Spurs and the Bristol club will be entitled to 30% of that if Zamora leaves the north London club.
