It does, financial problems and young Swedish riders getting side stepped for foreign riders. Imo Swedish speedway is on the verge of collapse due to overpaid riders and neglection of the younger Swedish riders.

Smederna is 2p up after 4 heat. Had 4-2 in h4 but screwed up.

Smederna will use R/R for Aspgren.

Yeah that is correct. Daniel and his brother Robert are originally from Stockholm and started their career with Gamarna. When Robert moved up to 500cc, the family moved to Eskilstuna and they started riding for Smederna.

Svemo have launched live Allsvenskan broadcasts live at Svemo play https://www.svemoplay.se/abonnemang If you want to be a single meeting the cost is 89 SEK (£7.8 GBP) but you can also buy a monthly subscription for 149 SEK (£13 GBP)

Tomorrow is the 2nd round of this year's Elitserien and the televised meeting will be Masarna - Elit Vetlanda which is broadcasted live by C more and Premier sports. The meetings starts at 19.00 Swedish time.

Masarna - Vetlanda. Not so good form for Lindbäck and Pz Pawlicki but I think Masarna will prevail. Dackarna - Lejonen. Should be a clear victory for Dackarna, I can't see Lejonen being able to defeat Dackarna at Dackarna's track. Indianerna - Rospiggarna. Should be an easy victory for Rospiggarna. Smederna - Piraterna. If Aspgren can ride without a problem (broken finger) and if the rest of Smederna brings their best performace then Smederna might have a decent chance but I think Piraterna look stronger despite weak reserves. It will be interesting to see though, if and how much the track changes at Smedstadion will affect the racing quality. Live results will be at svemo.se/speedway as usual.

That is correct. https://www.munkebo-scorpions.dk/nyheder/info-omkring-koerselforbud/ DMU and Munkebo are looking into the possibilities for Munkebo to have their home meetings on another track and they will know by the end of this week if that will be possible or not.

I have some brief info here: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537&page=1 (click track name for google map links). Then use the "what's nearby" to find airports by typing airports in the search window that appears. I also have a google earth file but it is 5 years old and somewhat outdated.

I also want to remind you Dave that the point limit for tactical substitute have been raised from 6p to 8p difference.

1. I can do that but you will have to manage without them for the first round. I'll be away for a few hours tonight due to me attending a football game,. 2. The only one existing is my blank heat schedule that can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/file/hq5xgd1bg2gz5z4/Blank_Heat_schedule_ES.AS.pdf Lineups will be published here http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/ once they have been confirmed tomorrow. I will also send you a pm Dave.

Perhaps it should be like football where players who have represented their country/football federation on a senior level (A level games) are not allowed to represent another country.during their career. source, (5 and 8 Principle p63-p65).

My opinion is that if there is an offender, that offender should go, I don't really like the All 4-back thing since it is exploited by those from gate 3-4 when they have a bad start and can't make it round the outside line, if there is no contact and someone drops it, then ex that someone. They will learn the hard way that they have to stay up.

Welcome back Dave!

I hadn't seen it before until you posted it, although I have to admit that I haven't bothered to look it up.

Alan loved speedway but he also loved the Swedish sunsets so I made a tribute picture based on that. The image is from the 2015 SM-final in Kumla between Indianerna and Vetlanda and is also featuring the logos of two of his favourite speedway teams (not sure if he had a Polish fav team).

Some stuff are actually totally free. http://eskilstunasmederna.se/tappert-gang-tog-ned-trappa-fran-sporthallen/

It has been moved about 8 m forward. It is not much but it's the maximum possible without also moving the referee box. It has been claimed that the old position was creating "unsafe" conditions in the first bend due to all riders going for the same racing line. Smederna are also trying to improve the racing quality by, other than moving the start, changing the first bend and put some new shale on. They have also made / planning to do some other changes to arena. Changes such as a new overpass over the pit entrance / exit, new loud speakers and possibly also a large outdoor LED-display board.

I agree with TDM. When the green light comes on, everyone should be standing still and if someone moves, give that someone a warning.

Official scores are way wrong . Greg got an extra point despite being last .

Mikael Max' farewell race will be broadcasted live by the local newspaper. It is free for subscribers, all other have to buy the broadcast for 59 SEK. http://www.barometern.se/sport/sporten-direktsander-max-avskedsrace-blir-show/
