Rochdale Hornets (speedway)

[1][2][3] In 1970, they were reformed by the promotion from the Belle Vue Aces to give their junior riders a chance to progress when they moved their Belle Vue Colts team to the stadium under the control of Dent Oliver.

[4] The team arrived in 1970 but moved on to Ellesmere Port at the end of the 1971 season.

The safety fence was unusual in that it was made of steel plates supported on wire ropes.

The most famous rider to progress from the Hornets was 1976 World Champion Peter Collins.
