		Their other nickname is the “The Gas” which the team acquired because of the gasworks next to their former home ground Eastville Stadium.

	The Internet Football Grounds Guide - Memorial Stadium, Bristol Rovers FC
		Nick Wootten of Bristol informed me that this term comes from where the old Eastville stadium in Bristol was sited.
		The nearest railway station is Bristol Parkway which is about two miles away from the ground and is really too far to walk from, so you are probably best to jump in a taxi or buses 73 and 74 run from the station past the ground.
		The ground was formerly owned by Bristol Rugby Club (who still play there), and even though it has seen some changes since the Football Club moved in, in 1996, it still has the feel of a ground not totally dedicated to football.
