Money raised from the event will be donated to Kidney Research UK, with the Robins Trust also claiming a third of the proceeds.
The Legends team will be managed by Steve Cotterill, who guided the Robins from the Southern League to the third level of English football between 1997 and 2002.
The 21 coveted places in the fans' team were awarded on a first come, first served basis. They will be coached and managed by Mike Davis, who was assistant manager to Steve Cotterill during the club's most progressive era.
Their first training session is set to take place next Wednesday at the Newlands (7.30pm).
SQUAD: Adam Van Coevorden, Craig McShane, Karl Bland, Adam Bennett, David Gardner, Paul Newcombe, Adam Collins, Jeff Cooper, Patrick King, Peter Reed, Daniel James, Jake Stanley, Layton Pearce, Sam Corder, Clive Gowing, Dave Ramage, Max Hobbs, Ian Cummings, James Bowers, Sean McKeon, Dave Jennings.

“Great to See P.King getting a game for the supporters. A very talented individual with a great eye for goal, King was tipped to have a very successful career in the game until injury 4 years ago ruled him out the game for 18 months. Now back i will like to see King recapture his form and show both the crowd and management staff what a success he could have been.
I will be bringing another scout with me so we can sit down and see if they deserve another chance to gain a professional contract with a football league club.”
