SteveArena Posted Monday at 10:24 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:24 AM 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted Monday at 12:59 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:59 PM Very sad to hear about this. He was a bit like Marmite but he was instrumental in getting the original Sky contract all those years ago and him and his brother were key figures at Swindon. RIP Terry.

martinmauger Posted Monday at 08:35 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:35 PM A big shame. I certainly didn't agree with everything Terry Russell said or did but gotta say he did blooming well (to say the least) wis his involvement getting speedway shown on Sky Sports & into the (was) Millienium Stadium, now Principality Stadium in Cardiff. RIP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted Monday at 08:36 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:36 PM I've been confused and lost with the in's and out's of the Russells, but at the end of the day, RIP Mr T Russell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Downes Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM Always grateful that he saved Crayford Speedway in 1981 - just as I was getting into the sport. Knew him a little through the early Hackney away weekend trips and seemed a decent guy. Commiserations to his family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago R.I.P. Terry. I met him a few times socially and he was good company. I hesitate to ask this, but what effect if any will it have on Swindon Motorsports and their proposals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never going to happen anyway, so there will be no effect. Speaks volumes that Motorsports couldn’t even acknowledge one of their directors passing.

I think it will be easier for CO to claim that it's impossible for Speedway to survive in Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
