Disappointing to hear such a thing from Belle Vue's new signing but typical really.
From the Evening News...You couldn't make it up.

Chris ‘Bomber’ Harris, the British speedway champion who is Belle Vue’s new No 1, has an extra reason to be thrilled with his transfer.
The 28-year-old has always been a Manchester United nut, despite being born and raised in Cornwall.
Even his soccer boots are red and black – the same colours as United and the Aces.
So how is someone from Truro such a staunch United fan?
“Lucky I guess,” said Harris, adding: “I always have been a big United fan. I got it from my dad.
“Red has always been my favourite colour and now I’m riding for a club who ride in red and black after wearing yellow for seven years at Coventry.
“I play football during the winter and even my boots are red and black.
“I can’t remember the last time I went to Old Trafford but I watch them on TV whenever I can. Belle Vue boss David Gordon is a season ticket holder and he has promised to take me.
