History
During March 1967, promoter Mike Parker applied for a speedway licence for Seedhill Stadium[2] and the stadium duly hosted racing starting on 29 July 1967.[3][4]
The following season, Nelson were founder members of British League Division Two in 1968 and finished runners-up in its inaugural season.[5] The following season the team finished 13th.[6]
In June 1970, halfway through the season, promoters Les Whaley, Mike Parker and Bill Bridgett moved the British League Division Two side across the Pennines to Bradford.[1][7] Parker moved the team following difficulties in finding available race days for speedway and stock car racing.[8]
