  1. To be honest, crowds are a bit too small if you look at all tracks and do an average of it.
  2. So it is: https://twitter.com/speedway365/status/352056644630355970
  3. Well during the days when Billy Hamill still rode for Smederna, Smederna made used Billy to do a radio commercial in which he was tricked into saying, come see Smederna versus Rospiggarna, you know "the Pigs". Smederna had him believe that we say that all the time but of course we don't.
  4. Valsarna is taken from the former valsverket (rolling plant) in Hagfors. Rospiggarna is a designation of someone living in the coast area of the Uppland province, this coastal area is known as Roslagen which have given Sweden its Finiish name Routsi. Örnarna - the Eagles (Radio)Piraterna . The Pirates taken from the expression Motala Piraterna: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlunda_radio_transmitter Gnistorna - the sparks. Griparna - the Griffins, the Griffin is a symbol for many provinces including Södermanland. Yeah there have been several teams in Stockholm, Gamarna, Eldarna, Getingarna and now Hammarby, Also a good effort from Smederna have resulted in a huge defeat but a secured aggregated bonus.
  5. I can give you a short explanation: Ikaros Smederna, Ikaros is the title sponsor, Smederna means the smiths taken from Eskilstuna's legacy as a Smithting town. Västervik/Skepparna, Västervik is the name of the city. Skepperna means something the shippers. Indianerna is the Indians Vargarna is the Wolves Vetlanda is the name of the Town and Elit is the name sponsor. Hammarby is a name of a city area in Stockholm and it is also the name several clubs in Stockholm. Hammarby is a common locality name in Sweden.
  6. No no no way you're both way wrong. Dackarna was another name for the people who lived in Småland and supported the rebel named Nils Dacke. So Dackarna pretty much means the Dacke rebels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Dacke
  7. Nope, weather is supposed to be sunny in Motala. Dave is "logged in" on twitter though.
  8. nw42, Swedish Elitserien always starts at 19.10 Swedish time. also pm sent. Also Smederna makes some changes. Eklöf will replace Jonsson as nr2 and they will use R/R for Kenni.
  9. Well Iris is Vojens really that good? The racing is awful, the weather is awful... Vojens is a small town in the southern end of the west coast of Denmark. I think Vojens is the kind of place where one wouldn't stay any minute longer then needed while cities like Stockholm and Copenhagen while more expensive, have allot more to offer. Especially Stockholm have allot to offer no matter if you like, partying, museums, architecture or lovely nature. This is why I never have been at Måilla, racing is good but it's too isolated with hardly anything of interest around. Vojens is even worse with the very mediocre track and racing.
  10. I think it more has to do with that it in general are quite tough times at the moment, a quite high unemployment and etc. I would liked to have gone but I couldn't afford both Copenhagen and Stockholm so I chosen Stockholm over Copenhagen and perhaps many other Swedes have done the same. In particular those who live in the same part of Sweden as I do.
  11. No I am pretty sure that he won't. I think the team will be: F. Lindgren, Ljung, J. Davidsson and PK with Dennis Andersson as reserve.
  12. actually it is the same dirt at all the temporary tracks isn't it? At least I've read claims/statements that it is so.
  13. Well according to Ole, there is nothing wrong with Vojen's track. All that it needs is some more grand stands. Then there is the weather factor, During how many of Vojen's GP's, SWC's. GP qualifying the past 10 years or so, have it been raining?
  14. Elitserien 2013, Round 9, Tuesday July 2nd live scores: http://www.svemo.se/speedway Elit Vetlanda– Ikaros Smederna Elit Vetlanda Martin Vaculik Bartosz Zmarzlik Jaroslaw Hampel Ricky Kling Janusz Kolodziej David Ruud Jacob Thorssell Ikaros Smederna Magnus Zetterström Andreas Jonsson R/R Linus Eklöf Peter Karlsson Krzysztof Buczkowski Linus Eklöf Kenni Larsen R/R Oliver Berntzon Szymon Wozniak Smederna have a very very tough job, with their three best riders unavailable. Laguta have a Russian league meeting in Vladivostok on Thursday, Andreas Jonsson and Kenni Larsen are both out because of injury. Unfortunately the team was registered befor eKenni's crash otherwise the team management could have made a slightly different pick. For Vetlanda, THJ is also out because of injury.

  15. Swedish team will Ljung, Davidsson at least, a decision about Lindgren will be taken early this week. Sundström (replaced by Zetterström) Jonsson and Nermark are certain non participants
  16. so? it does not prevent you from posting your info in that thread.
  17. Injury update: Freddie Lindgren suffered a torn off muscle, will be out for two weeks or so. Andreas Jonsson have a confirmed broken shoulder and a broken rib. Out for one month. Kenni Larsen a likely broken arm, Smederna might try and find a replacement, already for Tuesdays meeting.
  18. initial reports says at least 1 month. Freddie Lindgren might back from his muscle damage in two weeks. So a small chance for Freddie to ride at SWC.
  19. There is a thread already: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=73053
