Reg Fearman

Reginald Arthur Victor Fearman (born 26 April 1933 in London, England) is a former international motorcycle speedway rider and promoter.

[3] He first rode at Rye House on 1 August 1948 (scoring eleven points) but was immediately banned by the Speedway Control Board (SCB) and the Auto Cycle Union (ACU) when it was discovered he was still only fifteen years of age.

[6] He retired from racing at the end of 1961 although he had already begun promoting in 1960 with his club Stoke Potters in the newly formed Provincial League.

Reg promoted at multiple tracks from 1960 until his retirement in 1986, including Stoke, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Halifax.

Fearman, along with fellow promoter Ron Wilson, brought back Long Eaton Archers in 1963[7] but moved the speedway licence to Leicester Stadium because of concerns over increased stock car events damaging the Long Eaton Stadium speedway track.
