Belle Vue (Manchester) is the most
famous name in the Speedway world. Wherever
Speedway bikes are raced you can be sure that
Belle Vue will be the most instantly recognised
name.
The world's oldest club began
its existence on 28 July 1928 at its present home, the Belle Vue Greyhound Stadium in Manchester.
Less than a year later the world's first
purpose built Speedway Stadium was opened on Hyde
Road on 23 March 1929.
Belle Vue returned to their
original home at the Greyhound Stadium for their
Diamond Jubilee season in 1988. To this day
Belle Vue remains the only club to have operated
in the top flight every year since the sport came
to Britain, including the war years where not
even Hitler's Luftwaffe and fuel rationing
could stop the racing.
Of course it is the world renowned
Aces team that has brought Belle Vue its fame,
with almost all of the sports all time greats
having donned Aces colours. Riders
like Frank Varey, Jack Parker, Peter Craven, Ove
Fundin, Soren Sjosten, Ivan Mauger, Peter Collins,
Chris Morton and many more.
But Belle Vue also boasts another
team, The Belle Vue Colts. Here you will
find not greats from the past, but the stars of
the future. Riders as young as 15 starting
out on a career in the sport. Riders hoping
one day to become fully fledged Aces stars and
follow in the tyre tracks of Aces world champions
like Craven, Fundin, Mauger and Collins.
This brochure tells you a little
bit about the Belle Vue Colts, and most
importantly, how YOU can play a part in
developing the stars of the future and producing
great British Speedway riders.
