In June 1970, halfway through the Division Two season, promoters Les Whaley, Mike Parker and Bill Bridgett moved the Nelson Admirals side across the Pennines to Bradford to resurrect speedway at Odsal as Bradford Northern.[1] The team spent three years in the British League Division Two.[3][4]
1974 saw the team name change to Bradford Barons.[1][5]
