SteveArena Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 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 January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 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 January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 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....

Ray Stadia Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 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 January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 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 January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 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.
