Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) with the signing of Oliver, Smederna can put this team on the track: Magnus Zetterström 2,229 Linus Eklöf 1,635 Kenni Larsen 1,914 Ricky Kling 1,595 Peter Karlsson 2,176 Oliver Berntzon 1,16 Rasmus Broberg 0,5 total average: 11,209 Which would indicate that live streaming on the internet has had a VERY positive effect Where it matters .

Yeah i agree but i also would like to claim that two new teams (Smederna and Gnistorna) as well as the guestrider system are two other factors that have contributed to the increase of the spectator sizes.

brandonbee48 1,194 Posted March 28, 2012 Didn`t do any harm to rock music CD sales either ! Well, not in this house it didn't . Since this old fart single handedly keeps the CD companies in business to the chagrin of my "downloadin" 17 year old. I recall our friend Ghostwalker saying there was initial opposition to the live streaming from the clubs but the attendances soon reassured them. Until we get "Smellovision" i would much rather be there, but the cost from 3 thousand miles away is a tad prohibative Super Polski Sundays are almost here!!!! Take care. Alan. with the signing of Oliver, Smederna can put this team on the track: Magnus Zetterström 2,229 Linus Eklöf 1,635 Kenni Larsen 1,914 Ricky Kling 1,595 Peter Karlsson 2,176 Oliver Berntzon 1,16 Rasmus Broberg 0,5 total average: 11,209 Champions!

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) There where supposed to have been an Allsvenskan pair meeting in early May. However since Örnarna have declined participation and since Gnistorna haven't even replied, it seems that the pair meeting have to be scrapped. Possibly there might an individual competition instead. http://ekuriren.se/sport/speedway/1.1402309-allsvenska-lag-vill-inte-aka-till-eskilstuna Edited April 11, 2012 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
