Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Spring Media will make an announcement on April 2nd on whether or not there will be any televised coverage of Elitserien. There will still likely be an internet broadcasting portal of some sort. Edited March 22, 2018 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,696 Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Interesting snippet in today’s Star that as feared there will be no Swedish elite league shown on TV in Sweden- there will only be internet coverage(presumably pay to view) however one of the weeks matches will be shown over here by Premier sports. It will be interesting to see what the difference between last years C More programme and this seasons production will be ?

Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) There will be no live speedway on tv, only on speedway play. It will be a subscription service for either 149 SEK (~12.6GBP) /month or 99 SEK (~8.4GBP)/ day. There is no information whether or not this is geo blocked outside Sweden.https://www.speedwayplay.com/elitspeedway/postshttps://www.speedwayplay.com/elitspeedwayhttp://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/20601/klart-sa-sands-elitserien-i-speedway-alla-matcher-visas/ Edited April 11, 2018 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Vi känner oss väldigt stolta över att tillsammans med Elitserieföreningen få erbjuda speedwayfans både nationellt och internationellt..." But I guess that their is a resonable chance for a geoblock in the countries that will show Elitserien on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I registered this morning- although the lack of English on the website is a hindrance. do you know what payment methods they will accept for the monthly subs ?

I don't know for payment methods. I would assume bank/credit cards would be one of them. You can change language in you account settings, click the three horizontal bars in the lower left corner.

There will be one of the meetings each round that will a 5 camera production while other three meetings while the others will have fewer cameras. I assume that the 5-camera meeting will be the one showed on Premier sports/Freesports(?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) The rulebook for 2018 was published a while ago http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Regler/ Apparently, Allsvenskan will use the old heat schedule while Elitserien uses the new one. Another thing that I didn't know of is that there apparently will be a UK-style "toss" to decide which teams goes from which gates. To be honest I really dislike the new schedule. They should have kept the second reserve heat and made it mandatory for each reserve to ride in all of their 4 scheduled heats. So now it is: "5.8.5 Körschema för Elitserien (2.15.7-Elit). Heat Gate 1/2 2/1 3/4 4/3 1 B2 V1 R1 G2 2 G7 R6 V6 B7 3 R3 V3 B4 G4 4 V5 B5 G7 R6 --------Grading-------- 5 B7 G4 R2 V6 6 G2 R3 V1 B4 7 G4 R1 V3 B2 --------Grading------- 8 B4 G7 R3 V5 9 B5 G2 R6 V1 10 V6 B7 G5 R1 ---Grading & Interval--- 11 V3 B4 G2 R5 12 V1 B2 G4 R3 13 R1 G5 B5 V3 --------Grading-------- 14 V/R V/R G/B G/B 15 R/V R/V B/G B/G" Edited April 30, 2018 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
