SPEEDWAY NEWS AND FIXTURES 20.10.04
20 October 2004 - British Speedway Promoters Association

BELLE VUE''S new owners will be known on Thursday with a full press statement to be issued.

John Perrin has now concluded a deal to hand over control of the club after 17-years in charge of the Aces. He has confirmed the club will be staying in the Elite League and several high profile names have been linked with the purchase of the famous Manchester side.

GLASGOW have started their team building for next season by signing popular Aussie Shane Parker for a second year with the club. Parker was expected to quit at the end of the current campaign but his success at Ashfield has tempted him to stay. He said: ''I''ve enjoyed my time at Glasgow and I''m pleased to stay. We were disappointed with the outcome of this year but it makes us even more determined.''

RORY Schlein has confirmed he is ready to become a full-time Elite League rider - and that means bad news for Edinburgh. Schlein will leave Armadale to fulfil his ambition of signing for a top flight club with Belle Vue and Coventry heading the chase. He said: ''I sat down and talked it through for ages with my mum and dad and this was what we decided.''
