Aftermath of the 1980 fire
Eastville Stadium was the home of Bristol Rovers from 1897 when they moved from Ridgeway until they moved to Twerton Park in Bath in 1986.
A portion of the ground burned down in 1980, as can be seen in the photo to the right.
Rovers originally owned the stadium, but were forced to sell up due to financial difficulties. They remained as tenants at the ground, but in 1986 they could no longer afford the rent and were forced to leave.
