According Mikael Teurnberg, in the latest episode of Speedwaypodden podcast, Målilla are allowed to have 5000 in attendance and most of the ticket have been sold.
Bit surprising that they can have 5000 for a GP but only about 2000 for a regular league meeting.

What would the crowd be for a league meeting pre COVID??

For a league meeting during COVID restrictions, have they also restricted fans to only certain parts of the track??

Have restrictions eased in Sweden, or the Manilla area of Sweden, that would open up to more spectators.

I just trying to think of reasons why it could be different.

No easing of restrictions the past month or so. I did read that the arena has been divided into two half which are sealed off
from each other which I don't think is done during league meetings.

I just read on speedwaygp website that after discussions with local authority another 1000 tickets been released for sale, but they don’t think many will be available for entry on the night.

Kubera replaces Vaculik.

[HenryW 1,178]

So unlucky for Loktaev that he can't do this meeting. Possibly the only chance he'll get to do a GP.

Having said that, based on current form Kubera should be a more competitive replacement.

... If it was being held at Lublin again.

Sadly for him it's not.

(I've posted this so you can ram it down my throat when he rostrum's again )

I'd be surprised if he made the final again in Sweden, but do think that generally his form is better this year than Loktaev.

Having said that, Loktaev DOES have a higher average in the Swedish league so far this season

Loktajev has only done 3 meeting/15 heats though while Kubera has done 7 meetings/35 heats.
