Smederna have started well. 18-6 after 4 heats. Good fight in heat 2 Between Berntzon and Anton as well as in heat 4 between Lindbäck and PK where PK showed that he still got it By passing Antonio on the third lap.

So if Hampel is back, that means that Vaculik then will still be in as a replacement for Bjerre?

Is Danish league meetings always this slow paced?

Remember that the second leg of this meeting is on Wednesday, Västervik-Dackarna is on Tueday.

Antonio, great riding by him. After his win in Terenzano he's almost seems like a new rider. Very great to see. 02.30 am.

If I were Team manager for Indianerna, I would put in Kylmäkorpi in heat 14 as a replacement for Pepe.

I think its quite unfair that the team behind can use their best riders twice. While Indianerna cannot use Lindbäck and Iversen twice.

Dackarna steam rolls Västervik. Not a good night for Woffinden so far, only 2p from 3 heats (1,1,0).

What can you say about Edberg? Big shame on Fröjd for forcing him to ride tonight. Alex still needs a couple of months of Rehab. Just look at Hampel who have been out for over two months. But what a great heat by Thörnblom.

Well i was there two weeks ago and it was plenty of good heats. *edit Antonio proved you wrong.

Iversen excluded for two min.

Not much to see, Dackarna are 14p up after 6 heats.

Dackarna are 8p up already. Iversen what a season he is having.

don't complain, when i went to bed at 1am the temperature had dropped to only +6 degrees Celsius.

referee seems to have approved Hammarby's team. live scores: Hammarby-Indianerna: http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,Organizer,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=10&CompetitionId=1699 Dackarna- Västervik: http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,Organizer,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=10&CompetitionId=1697

I am not sure what will happen if Alex is considered not fit to ride. I would guess that the Hammarby's revised lineup will be rejected meaning no Alex in for Kamil and no R/R for Dennis. But i am far from sure.

He has. Hammarby is his 5th team as team manager and his past teams gave the following history Dackarna- still running good Masarna - Bankkrupt Kaparna - Bankrupt Lejonen - demoted ro Div1 for severe financial problems. it "could" just be a coincident though... i also just updated the race card for Hammarby - Indianerna as well as added the link to the race card for the other quarter final. You also have a blank race card if you want to fill it in yourselves. Have in mind that its not certain the referee will approve Hammarby's lineup so there might still be changes. Have in mind that Alex broke his leg 5 weeks ago and normally it takes 6 weeks for a broken bone to heal, so the track medical staff+referee have the right to refuse Alex to participate in the meeting.

Don't forget Iversen who is having a very good season. Third best scorer in Polish Ekstraliga and first in the Swedish Elitserien.

Forgot to mentioned that Pavlic is also injured and Västervik will replace him with Nicolai Klindt.

well tomorrow by lunchtime would be a little late wouldn't it? Well the latest news is that they will replace Brzowozski with injured Alex Edberg. Since Alex have a lower floating average then Dennis, Dennis is no longer the mandatory U21 rider and they can then use R/R for him. The same Alex Edberg who broke his leg 5 weeks ago and needs another 3-4 months of rehabilitation. Hammarby's team manager says "its five weeks since he (Alex) broke his ligament so it should be fine. However i think that Alex still has his leg in a Orthopedic cast Hammarby's chairmen of the board Tommy Cederlund does not share Fröjd's enthusiasm. http://na.se/sporten...-bajens-losning Honestly enough with the clown act from Fröjd, its about time he is removed from Swedish speedway and if he continues to try and pull this off, he should have his license revoked.

Well since Smederna have lost almost half of their attendance since last season... I think that we would have problem getting a good team and would the spectators come in the necessary numbers? Obviously it depends on if/what new rules are created for either or both of the series.

Added lineups for Allsvenskan's semi-finals. Looks like a very tough meeting between Smederna and Masarna. Rospiggarna shouldn't have much problem with Griparna.

Seems that Zagar might have a hip injury and an injured hand. X-rays needed to know the full extent of the injuries. Gollob doesn't feel to good either and i think, if the translation is correct, that he will rest for a week.

Hammarby intends to do R/R for Dennis however a Swedish U21 is mandatory and that rider needs to ride in three heats. So R/R is not an option. According to rule 5.8.5 A team that don't have an available U21 rider. Can still include him in the lineup BUT his will be removed from the lineup at the team manager/referee meeting before the meeting and nr2 place will be empty and his heat cannot be taken by any other rider. The team will also be penalized according to rule 5.2.1 for not fielding a complete team. The current penalty is 10'000kr fine. And now Gollob seems to be injured (?) so perhaps R/R for him and Hyll in for Dennis then.
