Claims that ticket sales are up 15-20 percent (so far) compared to last year. Their goal is an attendence of 8000. https://m.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/140592/positiv-kansla-infor-sommarens-gp-okat-15-20-procent

Kumla is a good track, but is a bit lackning when it comes facilities. IMO Västervik would be a better choice. However Sweden cannot support two gp, especially not given the close proximity between Västervik and Målilla.

Västervik is a really good track and also a nice summer town on the southern Swedish east coast.

Maybe ESS play, but not SVT

Lejonen have signed Jan Kvech as a replacement for injured Francis Gusts. https://speedwayfans.se/lejonen-ersatter-francis-gusts-har-samtliga-jvm-medaljorer-i-laget/

Apparently Pawlicki didn't show up after giving the team management a very short notice that he wouldn't show up. Pawlicki claims personal reasons for not showing up.

Qualifications Semi final at Esbjerg to the Danish final had to be cancelled and since DMU couldn't find a new date before the final they have decided that the final will be the seeded riders + top 5 from the quarter final at Glumsø. This makes the following start list for the final: • Rasmus Jensen • Kenneth Bjerre • Anders Thomsen • Leon Madsen • Mikkel Michelsen • Niels Kristian Iversen • Andreas Lyager • Michael Jepsen Jensen • Frederik Jakobsen • Rene Bach • Jonas Jeppesen • Peter Kildemand • Benjamin Basso • Nicolai Klindt • Patrick Hansen • Mads Hansen ------------------ Reserver: • Jonas Seifert • Kenneth Kruse Hansen https://www.facebook.com/dmudanskspeedway/posts/pfbid037rMZAte3yzAkWCqe8218Mkcw8x1Ve1uMyQrp2z1nvZqiBUAbhECP5V8DwYDeUnLBl

Some really unexpected results today, Lejonen and Piraterna both loosing at home. For sure Piraternas missed Pawlicki but 16p loss at home is still a little too much. Lejonen looked very weak against Smederna and loosing by 20p. Västervik victory was expected but still sad so see such scores. I hope that Västervik have fixed salary rather then paid by points.

Results from the Swedish final qualification https://www.svemo.se/nyheter/klara-forare-till-sm-finalen 1. Gustav Grahn, Kumla MSK 2. Jonathan Ejnermark, SMK Motala SK 3.

Revised lineup is Daniel Henderson at nr 6 for Dackarna.

Jepsen Jensen has announced that he will ride for Gdansk today.

Västervik uses their second transfer card to replace David Bellego with Mikkel Michelsen.

Lejonen - Indianerna is off due track not being safe after track prep after the rain that fell.

Perdonally I want 6 riders doing 5 heats each with no R/R* or TS. *disclaimer @racers and royals is obviously welcome anytime.

Wouldnt have mattered since Smederna were 8p up. Luckily justiced was served in the end.

So despite it looking really good with 8 p up, Smederna finds a way to loose this meeting too. Also I still dislike tactical substitutes.

Unfortunately not very good racing at Smedstadions tonight, was really good two weeks ago though so not sure what happened.

Lejonen - Indianerna delayed due to rain, preliminary start 20.30 local time.

https://speedwayfans.se/fredrik-lindgren-har-kort-fardigt-i-vastervik-for-den-har-gangen-helt-klart-ett-avbrack/ Lindgren pulled out of tomorrow's meeting after a fall in Poland yesterday saying he suffered from headache after the meeting.

Chugunov instead of Lindgren for Västervik.

Three Swedish riders qualified, very good.

Attendances so far. Smederna has the highest so far with 3026 against Västervik. Indianerna managed 1900 yesterday despite cold and rainy weather. Rospiggarna has the lowest so far with 982 yesterday, perhaps a reaction against the awful track and the awful lineup they mustered last week. https://speedwayfans.se/har-ar-alla-publiksiffror-fran-bauhausligans-start/

MJJ update https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid034LfsqvBfJYaTn4NK4xTCkntAbyUpbXbBNLqWiEo8jbHPsSV644WauTyhy91oG1rwl&id=100063697837571

it was ok, but too much of the good racing came from Indianerna. Some really strange line choices by Smederna, too much on the inside when the outside was so much favourable.
