Bristol Rovers football club has accidentally given footy fans more than they bargained for after an X-rated channel was aired in a stadium bar.

Fans gathered in the Memorial Stadium clubhouse to watch Tuesday’s fixture between Bristol Rovers and Crawley, but during half time Babestation popped up on the screens showing the match.

Those keen to watch the match were shown footage from the X-rated TV channel, which was showing scantily clad women on the screen.

Bristol Rovers have said an investigation is underway into the incident.

Fans watching the game took to social media to express their shock at the rude channel being played.

One user wrote: “I love this club”.

During the mix-up, rival club Bristol City even said “We can’t promise any Babestation, sorry. Our TVs have parental control.”

Chairman of Bristol Rovers, Steve Hamer, told the BBC the action was “not acceptable”.

He said: “We have had a major refit in the clubhouse and our bars this summer and we've got 14-15 new TVs all in place and I suspect there was an area of vulnerability there and somebody has hacked into it.

"What was seen was pretty moderate and we will talk to our TV engineers and media teams to find out what happened."
