speedway returned to bristol and eastville stadium in 1977 in what was effectively the newport wasps becoming the bristol bulldogs for one season. crowds of 7,000+ were averaged in both years, far larger than most clubs. the track operated in 1978 but was closed due to planning matters. a year or two after closing a bristol select team rode at birmingham (for legal reasons they could not use the bulldogs name). over 1,000 bristol speedway fans travelled up to birmingham, such was their love for the sport. stars of the former team included australian phil crump, father of world champion jason crump.
