In January 1936, promoter Mr T. Bradbury-Pratt agreed a deal with Reg Bennett the MD of the stadium.

[8] The star riders in 1937 were Bill Rogers, Roy Dook, Harry Shepherd and Roland Stobbart.

The track operated a season of challenge matches in 1946 with the team known as Ex-Bristol but returned in 1947 to compete in the National League Division Two, following hard work by managers Reg Whitcombe and Bob Steel.

[11] Bristol's team of 1949 has a rare record in that it whitewashed the visiting Glasgow Tigers 70 -14 in a fourteen heat National League fixture.

The track size was 390 metres and visiting teams disliked the sandy surface that also cut into the Bristol Rovers football pitch.

[24][25] A year or two after closing a Bristol Select team rode at Birmingham (for legal reasons they could not use the Bulldogs name).

[citation needed] In 2017, plans were being worked on bringing the Bulldogs team back on the track in 2018 in a series of away challenge meetings.
