You've got to laugh at Reid Battye's quote about Berwick...... “I’ve heard it’s a really big speedway town and it’s on the coast. I live near the beach in Australia so it’s probably the same – just a bit colder!” Me thinks he's in for a bit of a shock

You should be on cloud nine United won again too!

You could argue that any successful sport needs to attract people it didn't before. Look at football, they have huge ethnic followings for what in the 60s and 70s was very much a white working class sport.

It hardly promotes itself in general 

Yep. Can only go one way

Very sad to hear this. Terry along with Ivan Henry were great at Arena for the years they were there.  I know he was part of the consortium trying to bring Speedway back to Swindon so this must have been sudden.  All the best to his family and friends at this time.
