The time capsule, which will be dug up and opened in 2065, contains objects and information from the partners involved in the development of the new Belle Vue Sports Village.
David Gordon, Chief Executive of Belle Vue Aces, said: “We are extremely proud to be involved with this exciting event. With our many years as the world’s most famous and oldest speedway club, and the fact our entire history has been made at this special location in Manchester, makes this event even more significant.”
“We sincerely hope when the capsule is opened in 50 years’ time and the contents are viewed by the fans and community, they will see a little where the Belle Vue Aces came from.”
The National Speedway Stadium will provide a new home to the historic Belle Vue Aces who currently share the existing track with greyhound racing.
The purpose built speedway venue – boasting a 1,842 seat grandstand – will be capable of hosting both national and international race meetings, attracting some of the world’s best riders to east Manchester.
