Шаблон:Infobox speedway league season

The 1970 British League Division Two season was the third season of second tier motorcycle speedway in Great Britain.[1][2]

Team changes

The league expanded from 16 to 17 teams in its third season. Plymouth Devils dropped out but two new teams had been created and joined the league, they were the Workington Comets and Peterborough Panthers. Before the season got underway the 1968 and 1969 champions Belle Vue Colts disbanded with most of their riders and the promotion team moving to Rochdale and becoming the Rochdale Hornets.[3] Doncaster changed their nickname from Stallions to Dragons.

Summary

Two teams changed venue during the season. In July, the Nelson Admirals moved to Bradford to become Bradford Northern and in August, the King's Lynn Starlets promotion moved to Boston and became the Boston Barracudas.[4][5]

Canterbury Crusaders won their first title.[6][7] New Zealander Graeme Smith averaged 10.49 for the Crusaders and was well backed up by Barry Crowson (9.17) and Barry Thomas (9.11).[8] Another New Zealander Gary Peterson topped the averages riding initially for the Nelson Admirals and then Bradford Northern.
