Bristol Rovers beat Crawley Town 2-1 in the first round of the Carabao Cup last night, but the most significant moment of the game came during half-time.

As home supporters made their way indoors to the clubhouse for some refreshments at the break, the television screen that would normally have shown Sky Sports News was broadcasting a live feed from adult TV channel Babestation.

Fans both young and old were exposed to the X-rated channel for a short period of time before a club employee realised what was happening and changed the channel.

The club have confirmed that they believe a fan in attendance was using ‘universal remote device’ to change the channel.

Obviously, fans quickly tweeted out videos and pictures of the channel being aired at the stadium.

Bristol Rovers have issued a statement: “The club believes that someone that was attending in the bar was using a universal remote device to affect the TV output.

“The matter will be fully investigated, however the club believes that they have photographic evidence of the individual concerned and they will be dealt with appropriately.”
