Who are we?
Bristol Rovers started as the Black Arabs in September 1883, following a meeting of five young men at a restaurant on Stapleton Road, in the Eastville district of the city. We are now a professional football team competing in Sky Bet League One.
Our Stadium:
The club had a hard time finding its feet and was forced to move to bath, from Eastville, following financial difficulties. In August 1996, 12 years after the forced Bath move, Rovers returned to Bristol, entering into a shared ground agreement with Bristol Rugby Club at The Mem. Later, the club would take over The Mem and call it our own.
