Statement from the metal league about 2021- Google translated. - We want to send a clear message to the Danish speedway fans, sponsors and clubs, as well as to all the drivers who have a contract in the Metal Speedway League, that you will not experience another year on the sidelines, says Annette Vesterskov who is chairman for the league association. The eight clubs are GSK Liga Grindsted, Team Fjelsted, Esbjerg Vikings, Region Varde Elite Sport, Slangerup Speedway, Holsted Tigers, SES - Sønderjylland Elite Speedway and Nordjysk Elite Speedway from Brovst. - Without being able to go into details, we are working with more models in relation to any restrictions in the coming year, but most importantly, all clubs agree to ensure speedway at the highest level in 2021, states Annette Vesterskov. The league association meets again shortly after the New Year.

Thanks Najjer for doing that. 2 teams have no wriggle room in the top 5 because of the 2 Poles in the top 5(excluding U 24)rule. Czestochowa and Wroclaw will have to use Smektala and Chugunov respectively as a "senior rider" in their top 5.

I will try Each team in div 1 and 2 must have 2 Polish riders in top 5 and a U24 rider as well(any nationality but if Polish does not count towards the 2 minimum) Each team at 6 and 7 (14/15) must be Polish U21 NB for the 2 German teams in Div 2 substitute Germany for Poland above. No 8 and 16 can be any nationality but must be U23 and can replace any rides in the 1 to 5. If Polish and U21 they also can replace 6 and 7 Div 2 teams are allowed to name a " guest rider" in 2021 which can be from a higher league but must be U23
