Hopefully should be a really good final. Dackarna picked the home leg first when they could have had it 2nd. Should be 2 massive crowds next Tuesday/Wednesday- over 7000 at each leg would be my guess. I got slagged by some Poole fans for saying it was a good idea for Somerset to ride the first semi final leg at home. It went against tradition and didn't work out well. The obvious downside is if the home team ride below par as Somerset did. Upside if you ride well to get a big lead leaving the opposition a mountain to climb in the 2nd leg.

Obviously it worked out well for Dackarna in the semi- however to win the league in front of your own fans rather than Smederna`s i would have thought would be best.- at least there will be lots of Dackarna fans in Eskilstuna on Wednesday that`s for sure.

Robbie B 262 Posted September 20, 2018 Fantastic performance by Smederna on Tuesday night it proves once again that their riders have a never-say-die to disappointing results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to Joel himself on Dackarna's facebook page, sore and pain from the ribs. Luckily there doesn't seem to be any fractures or serious injury. ------- First post updated with line-ups for tomorrow. Wednesday's line-ups will be available tonight at 21.00 Swedish time.

Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted September 25, 2018 Line-ups for tomorrow added to first post. A little over two hours to go to final 1. Dackarna are clear favourites to win. They have been solid all season long and Andersen at reserves is a key factor. Smederna's riders have been a little more up and down but they do have Jerker and Jarl.

Mark 1,497 Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Andersen pointing to his partner to go round the inside. Classic showboating. Why do we never see a rider pointing to his partner to ride on the outside ? Edited September 25, 2018 by Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
