1992 British League Division Two season


The 1992 British League Division Two season was contested as the second division of Speedway in the United Kingdom.

Summary

Berwick dropped down from division 1 but the league lost two teams with Mildenhall Fen Tigers and Milton Keynes Knights both withdrawing from the league in June and their results were expunged. Mildenhall however did complete their Gold Cup fixtures. The BSPA withdrew the Milton Keynes speedway licence following complaints over the state of the track and several days later on 24 June, the club was wound-up.
The title was won by the Peterborough Panthers.
The season had a sad end when on 13 September Wayne Garratt crashed riding for Newcastle Diamonds against Peterborough. He suffered a brain injury and was placed on a life support machine but died 15 days later.
