Perton Wolf 396 Posted September 28, 2017 Would be very disappointing if it wasn't back on TV next season, most meetings are very competitive and you get to see a lot of top riders who don't race over here anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. However the big sports broadcasting companies are more or less bleeding money and speedway is pretty far down the pecking order after football, icehockey and the Olympics. Then, there is not much money left for the speedway rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did have one. And a brilliant atmosphere it was. Phil is right; we had celebrations today at noon at the main square called Fristadstorget. I was there and I filmed some (most of it). Unfortunately the lens was a bit dirty so the quality isn't the best. It isn't available right now but hopefully will be sometime during the weekend.
