From the Wikipedia article
Twerton Park is a football stadium in the Twerton suburb of Bath, England. It has a physical capacity of 8,840, containing 1,006 seats. It is currently the home of Bath City F.C., who have played there since 1932. From 1986 to 1996, Bristol Rovers F.C. played at the ground following their departure from Eastville in Bristol. In 2020, the ground also became the home stadium for Bristol City Women. The stadium has four stands; the Bath End, the Grandstand, The Popular Side, and the Bristol End. The ground once had a capacity up to 20,000, with the record attendance of 18,020 was set between Bath City and Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup third round in 1960. Though the site opened in 1909, the stadium was not constructed until 1932, with The Grandstand being the first of the four stands to be constructed. The stadium is 2.5 km (1.6 miles) from the city centre. The two bars within the stadium are named after former players: Charlies' (Charlie Fleming), and Randall's (Paul Randall). Twerton Park has undergone several expansions throughout its history, though the decades in which it saw the most development were the 1930s, 1940s, 1960s and the 1980s—including the addition of the family stand, west of The Grandstand.

It was a “flattish grassy area”, with a long steep slope leading up to Innox Park behind. Within a few weeks, Bath City took plunge with regard to the stand and placed a contract for a one thousand seater. It would cost in the region of £320. The local press called for a new name of the ground, Avondale Park, South Ewood, (a tribute to Bath City manager, Ted Davis) Mortimer Park,…
