It varies from club to club, mostly depending on who owns the track, the club or the city. I think most clubs that don't own their tracks pays rent to the owner (usually the City/Municipality). Dackarna own their own track and they are the only club that I can remember that have it that way. The only private owned track that I know of is Tallhult in Hagfors which was bought by a private person to save the speedway in Hagfors by making sure that Valsarna have a track. Obviously you just have to look back at the past 10 years to see that many teams have had difficulties and many teams have went bust but have arisen like a Phoenix bird from the ashes of the previous clubs. Allot of this stuff was in my article for Somerset Speedway that I wrote earlier this summer.

No helmet cams: as for the rest you can see for yourself:

I think what you see on Premier sports are not what we see in the Swedish feed. The Swedish feed is more thorough with more cameras, pit interviews, pit cameras and etc., 2 commentators, 2 people in the track side studio and one interviewer in the pits.

Judging by the arena website there will be buses from Solna Station. Not sure what type of buses though. Other public transport option are as following: From Stockholm Central Station: 17.09, Go with commuter train #38 towards Uppsala C, get off at Ulriksdal station, board bus #502 towards Solna Centrum get off at the Arena. From T-centralen 17.20, 17.50, 18.20, Go with subway blue line #11 towards Akalla, get off at Solna Centrum, board bus #505 towards Järvstaden get off at the arena. 17.30 Go with subway blue line #11 towards Akalla, get off at Solna Centrum, board bus #502 towards Ulriksdas station, get off at the arena. You can search connections here: http://reseplanerare...442502&OK#focus Just remember that buses do not accept cash or credit card, only pre-paid tickets or pre-paid travel cards. I think that you might be able to buy tickets at the subway entrances, the tickets you buy there will include the bus. Both the central station and all the stations mentioned above is Zone A. Also a quick reminder about the open meeting at Gubbängen on Friday: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537&st=525#entry2336263

Antonio Lindbäck will stay with Indianerna and Peter Ljung will stay with Västervik.

I have had a look around but no luck.

SMHI says overcast but no rain for Vetlanda on Tuesday http://www.smhi.se/vadret/vadret-i-sverige/land/fiveDaysForecast.do?geonameid=2663293&redirect=false then partially cloudy and no rain for Motala on Wednesday. http://www.smhi.se/vadret/vadret-i-sverige/land/fiveDaysForecast.do?geonameid=2690960&redirect=false

Protasiewicz and Iversen will stay with Indianerna : http://indianerna.nu/nyhet.php?id=2949

I'd say any of the Polish venues. It was Bydgoszcz this year and Leszno for 2010-2012

I don't know what the current rules are but you could keep the guest riders but add some limitations to the riders that is brought in as a guest rider, Limitations like this; He has to be a British rider His average cannot be higher then the missing riders average He cannot ride permanently (season wise) for another team in the same league

There haven't been any info regarding exact number of tickets sold just that it is expected to be the second highest attendance of the series. Info Is coming from Morgan Andersson, former team manager for Västervik, Dackarna and Smederna now a expert commentator for C more. The info is not official in any way though. Sure Stockholm is expensive but "cheaper" then Oslo, Köpenhamn and Helsinki. Also dirt will arrive on Monday according to Björn Oldéen at C more.

Holsted have got a new track flood light system: http://www2.solar.dk/Video/moldow_speedway_arena_i_holsted_har_faaet_et_siteco_lysanlaeg/

I don't know, he had a crash a couple of days ago and it is speculated about that he didn't want to risk anything for next weeks Swedish championship finals. With Rospiggarna's advantage from last week THJ's to be or not to be riding wouldn't have made much difference anyway.

A large update/reformatting of the first post have been made.

Rospiggarna won the Allsvenskan final against Örnarna and will take the step up to Elitserien. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/1.2208778-elitserien-nasta- Valsarna in Division 1 have applied for promotion to Allsvenskan which hopefully would make it 7 teams in Allsvenskan next year.

new rules for 2014: http://www.svemo.se/ImageVaultFiles/id_7884/cf_44/Beslutsprotokoll_Rundbana_nr09_inf-r_s-songen_2014.PDF Elitserien: 8 teams in Elitserien with the same race schedule as this year new average cap 10.250 avergae floor is 8.500 25% average discount for Swedish riders born 1989 and later. Swedish u21 riders get 0,500 as a season entry average. Elitserien guestriders have to be Allsvenskan riders that have a season entry average at 1.250 or lower minimum 3 heats each for the reserves reserves are not allowed to be replaced when they do T/T All teams have to have a Elite-B team. I'll add more later.

Just some rumours bit it is said that Stockholm GP will have the second highest attendance after Cardiff.

Well if he says that that he hope to be back for Torun then I think that it is a fracture. A normal fracture will take 5-6 weeks to heal which I think might be around the time for the Torun GP.

Well we just have to agree on disagree then, I still think that run-offs can be avoided in most cased and that they should only be used a last resort if it's not possible to separate the riders through heat wins, 2nd places and etc. As it was in Gorican some riders had more heat wins then the others and therefore they should have been ranked higher then others.

Following the 6000+ sized attendance two days ago, Ikaros Smederna have taken the lead in the attendance standings: Smederna have averaged on 3808 per meeting which is more then twice as much as Hammarby which only managed 1738/meeting. http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/attendance.php?serie=1&season=2013

Why should it be? If a rider wants to represent the country in which he lives and and that country also is the country that his wife is from then why should it be a matter for FIM to approve or disapprove it? It should be a matter for the immigration authorities and the licensing authority in the country the rider wish to ride. It would hardly be the first time an athlete decides to represent another country. Despite that they have already represented another country during their professional career. Just because FIM have their "marketing ideas" for speedway in Russia and a possible GP in Russia should not allow them to take decisions that are based on what's best for their "wallet": For that they need to have big Russian stars, they have Emil and Grigorij but now one of them wants to change to a Latvian license. Obviously this is not good for FIM's marketing plans for speedway in Russia. Joonas Kylmäkorpi is another riders who have switched between licenses during his career, From Swedish to Finnish and back to Swedish license. Yet FIM apparently didn't not have any problems with that?

Its hardly their business is it? In Holta's case I think he lived(/s) in Poland with his wife who is Polish? Does not Laguta live in Latvia with his Latvian wife? So they allowed Rune bot not Laguta? Also the reason to why he want to change is from what I understand that he has lost his patience with those who are running speedway in Russia,

We probably will from Motala but most likely not from Vetlanda.

Tuesday 17th: Vetlanda - Piraterna Wednesday 18th: Piraterna - Vetlanda Now on Thursday Örnarna-Rospiggarna Thursday Sep. 12th Rospiggarna-Örnarna.
