Birch Lane

 * ... that before they moved to their current home of Odsal Stadium, Bradford Northern spent thirty years based at Birch Lane?

 * Symbol question.svg Date and expansion fine. However, the hook is contradicted by the article in that it says that Northern were there from 1908 to 1934, which is 26 years. The article needs to clarify because the lead contradicts the body of text. the hook should be changed and it needs an inline citation before it can be promoted.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!

 * I have adjusted the article's header and added a citation so now the article and ALT1 are consistent. I have struck the original hook, since it is now redundant.--Storye book (talk) 16:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

I fixed a missing ref and also moved the hook fact into the body of the article. Reffing and length are fine and no copyvio spotted but a lot from an offline source. Agreeing with those above and Story book's amended hook. Thanks for the history of this building. No image. Victuallers (talk) 10:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
