[1] Rovers played their home games at Eastville (nicknamed "The Ville") until forced to leave by financial difficulties in 1986.
Rovers then spent a decade at Twerton Park in Bath before returning to the city to play at the Memorial Stadium where they remain to this day.
[3] The totalisator system was introduced in 1932 securing the future of the stadium, this was in contrast to the football club who were in financial difficulties.
Eastville changed hands for £12,000 and the first General Manager was Lieutenant-Colonel Forsdike who was to become secretary of the National Greyhound Racing Club.
The track suffered a serious fire in August 1980 with the majority of the south stand destroyed causing more than £1 million worth of damage.
[7] When trainer Henry Kibble retired his son Terry took over the kennels and provided Eastville with its first English Greyhound Derby finalist in 1991 with Dempsey Duke.
[8] The company now known as the BS Group sold Eastville for development, plans were announced for a new Bristol greyhound stadium but never came to fruition.
The stadium closed on 27 October 1997 with the entire greyhound operation moving to sister track Swindon.
