imo the biggest problem for British speedway is that you don't seem to have the possibility to arrange kids/youth speedway, My team Smederna (and most other Swedish teams) arrange various forms if youth speedway. In Smedernas case they arrange a Speedway school for kids/youth between 5 and 15, This means that a 19 y.o. Swedish rider can have been riding speedway for almost one and half decade or at least 8-10 years, I think this is why Sweden/Denmark/Poland/Australia keeps producing talents. While Britain that doesn't have this possibility it is starting to get more and more clear that there aren't really that many talents coming trough. One of the coolest things I've ever seen on a speedway track is when Jimmy Janssons eldest child on a small micro speedway bike exited the pit entrance on the back strait and drove up the starting line, stopped and then started to kick with the foot, just like the big boys do. :D Imo this is how you get the kids into speedway, you get them hooked while they are young.

no regular buses or trains that goes all the way to Vimmberby, however there is one that goes from Hultsfred to the track; i have found a bus company that have a bus from Motala via Vimmerby, Although you probably have to book in advance, you could always contact them to see if there is room for you. Its about 220kr for the trip only, then there is another one busscompany that offers travels from Gamleby via Västervik and Vimmerby, However for them the tickets is already included, there is a taxi company in Hultsfred called Hultsfred Taxi AB Contactinformation, Hultsfred Taxi AB phonenumber: 0495-10222 and then one in Vimmerby; Vimmerby Taxi BC AB Västra Tullportsgatan 3 59837 Vimmerby Telefon: 0492-12020 Fax: 0492-12970 So a possible solution would be bus (bus option 1) from the track to Hultsfred and then a Taxi from Hultsfred to Vimmerby.

technically, Finland does not belong to Scandinavia, only Sweden and Norway does. I also think that its hard ,for those who pick the local wcs and reserves, to pick a rider drom Nor or Fin when Swe and Den have so many good riders. Joonas have been riding well this season but so has THJ. I wouldn't be surprised if he reached the semis . Norway only have Gunnestad and i dont think he'd be a suitable track reserve.

mostly 1's and 0's. 13/5 ~2,6/rider. i only have somewhat accurate heat scores but don't know who rode in which heat: <team ht1,ht2,ht3,ht4,ht5,ht6,ht7,ht8,ht9,ht10,ht11,ht12, t13,ht14, ht15 ht16,ht17 ht18 ht19 ht20 totalt <Swe --3 --2 -- 3 -- 2 -- 3 -- 2 --1 -- 3 -- 2 --2 -- 0 -- 3-- 2 -- 2-- 2 -- 2 -- 3 -- 3-- 1 -- 0- 41 <DMK --0 -- 3 -- 2 -- 3 -- 2 -- 3 -- 3 -- 2 -- 1 -- 3-- 3 -- 2-- 3 -- 3 -- 2 -- 3 -- 2 -- 2 -- 3-- 3 - 48 <GRB --1 --0 -- 1 --0 -- 1 --1 --0 --1 --0 --0 --2 --1 --1 -- 0 -- 0 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 -- 0 -- 1 - 13 <GeR --2 --1 -- 0 -- 1 -- 0 -- 0 -- 2 -- 0 -- 3 -- 1 -- 1 -- 0 --0 --1 --1 --1 -- 0 --0 --2 --2 - 18

with 4 heats to go: Denmark 38p, Sweden 34p, not sure about GB and Ger, i think GB has 10-12 p and Germany about the same, maybe 12-14p.

i doubt it, they usually only do Elitserien.

the feed wont start until maybe 10 minutes before the event starts.

if i'm allowed to start dream some about next season then i'd like tostart doing that by wishing for a "dream 7". Obviously the averages will change but from the riders current floating average this would be a possible lineup. Averages is taken from svemo.se Smederna 2012?? Kenni Larsen (DK) 2,025 Linus Eklöf 1,688 Magnus Zetterström 2,163 Emil Pulczynski (PL) 1,444 Thomas H Jonasson 2,159 Daniel Gunnestad (NO) 0,778 Daniel Henderson 0,837 total average 11,094 (11,250 is the cap) .

yeah and this means that the playoff teams are now decided despite that one round is remaining. The only thing not decided is the positions between Smederna and Masarna. Anyway it also seems my analyse in the beginning of the meeting were partially correct. Henderson and Karlsson is the weak points of the current lineup. 5p from Gunnestad is an ok result and more then i expected, Also we won which i didn't think. Despite that i'd like to see that Emil P is put in as nr 4 and then Rasmus and Rasmus as nr 6 and 7. Imo Rasmus E can possible steal a point or two from Rosen and Bergström and i think that Emil will score more then 5p from nr 4. I also would like this team because it would be good for those "new" riders to get an additional meeting at home before the playoffs, in case of injuries and etc. This meeting will allow the riders an extra meeting at the home track. Especially as this meeting is no longer of any importance as i think that The team winning the series can choose between if they want to meet team 3 or 4. so my team for next week: 1.Zorro 2. Linus 3. Kenniego Larsena 4. Emil P 5. THJ 6. Rasmus Broberg 7. Rasmus Eklöf.

i guess that its a 4 back. However i think blue fell on his own even if it was a bit tight.

Smedern was a bit lucky there with EF on blue. 3-2 for Smederna.

Henderson excluded.

nasty crash between Henderson and Messing i think. Henderson goes on inside of Messing and the latter takes a nasty tumble. Not sure if there was contact,

5-1 to 2-4 :( why are they riding the same lines as the team mates suffered problems in?

nope technical difficulties.

Griparna will win. I am pretty sure of that. Our heatleaders+ Eklöf will do their job as usual but Henderson, Karlsson and Gunnestad are our weak point.

as expected, Lejonen's debts means that they have not been granted an elitelicense for next season. Either they can file for bankruptcy or they can apply for Debt restructuring however they latterl have to be approved by Svemo and also by tingsrätten (distric court) and it will only be approved if the mentioned instances can find it meaningful to continue. This is what happened to Västervik when they got into problems.

you're early anyway here we are at the penultimatae round of (r 13) 2011's speedway allsvenskan. Tonights meetings: FNC Gnistorna Vs.

Rospggarna, 10 meetings 15p 2. Örnarna, 10 meetings 12p 3, Masarna, 10 meetings 12p 4. Ikaros Smederna, 10 meetings, 10p 5. Griparna, 11 meetings 9p 6. FNC Gnistorna, 10 meetings 7p 7. Avantia, 9 meetings 5p. top 4 after round 14 will go to promotion series. 5-7 is done for the season. No team is demoted. If Smederna- Griparna ends with draw and if Gnistorna does not win --> Smederna to play off. If Smederna wins tonight -Smederna to play off If Smederna looses tonight, but wins next week Smederna to play off If Smederna looses tonight and manages a draw next week. Smederna and Griparna ends up on the same point, not sure who will finish 4th then. Most likely rider point quota is counted (won points divided by lost points) If Smederna looses tonight and looses next week Griparna to play off Griparna needs to win tonight if they want to reach play offs., Gnistorna will make the play off if they win both their remaining meetings and if Griparna and Smederna ties tonight and if Smederna looses next week Avantia will make the play off if they win both their remaining meetings and if Griparna and Smederna ties tonight and if Smederna looses next week and if Gnistorna doesn't score more then team point on their two remaining meetings. i think that, this is all possible outcomes from the remaining rounds. Avantia and Masarna will re-run their postponed meeting tomorrow.

no offense Philip but how about looking a few rows down in the forum? http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=65467

don't know what your schedule look like but there will be a kick-ass Allsvenskan meeting on Thursday next week at Eskilstuna track. Ikaros Smederna meets Masarna and riders like Thomas H Jonasson, Zorro, Kenni Larsen, Antonio Lindbäck, Linus Sundström, Sebastian Aldén and several more good riders.

Hammarby-Indianerna is next weeks tv meeting.

wow what a comeback by Lejonen. Great performance by Bjerre and Holder.
