Lions return to Bradford
10th May, 2023
Albion Sports will be back in their home city of Bradford after a decade away when they take part in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division in the 2023/24 season.
The Lions have returned to groundshare with Bradford (Park Avenue) at Horsfall Community Stadium, the place that was their home when they joined the league in 2011.
Two years later, they moved to Farsley Celtic's ground where they had been ever since and, despite being grateful for their ten years there, Sports have always been keen to return to Bradford as soon as possible.
Stadium general manager Calum Callen said in a statement: "It's fantastic to have Albion playing their games here next season - they are a well-known and well-run club here in Bradford.
"It's another development for the stadium, and Albion will be working around Bradford (Park Avenue)’s and West Bowling FC’s fixtures, meaning more sport for the people of Bradford to enjoy!"
