British League Division Two

The British League Division Two was created in 1968 and was the second tier of speedway racing in the United Kingdom until the restructuring of British speedway in 1995.

[1][2] After the formation of the British League in 1965, riders wanting to break into teams found it more difficult to do so.

The idea of forming a second division was suggested and in 1968 the idea became a reality when ten teams formed the league.

The ten teams were: Belle Vue Colts, Berwick Bandits, Canterbury Crusaders, Crayford Highwaymen, Middlesbrough Teessiders, Nelson Admirals, Plymouth Devils, Rayleigh Rockets, Reading Racers and the Weymouth Eagles.

It was again named the British League Division Two in 1991 and a system of promotion and relegation was introduced between the British League and the British League Division Two.
