seems like the rain took a tour around the track instead directly over it. First start estimated to c:a 19.15 swedish time. The postponed meeting will be held on wday nxt week. Without Thj and Timo Lahti. Can't understand why thj is allowed to ride in the uk when swe leagues have priority over foreign leagues.

its gonna be wet. it have already rained some and i think more is on its way. But it doesn't rain at the moment I can also here the thunder rumbling.

According to Lejonen themselves they have managed to solve the economic crisis. http://www.lejonen.se/Nyheter/Nyheter1/Lejonen-Speedways-ekonomi-ar-raddad/ though they still have to have their Debt restructuring plan approved by Svemo.

weather update: warm and sunny with some scattered Cumulus clouds. No rain since yesterday.

hmm i suddenly become a very fond Eastbourne supporte.r after all eagles are much cooler animals then bees anyway. Lets go eagles!

apparently no new date could be agreed on. for Smederna juding by the UK fixtures THJ and/or Kenni are occupied most Wednedays and Thursdays. No fixtures in UK next Friday howevert its the Swedish U21 final that friday so it won't work either.

i think say yes, it would be the standard procedure. Gutted for all of those who spent time and money to go there and all they get is a 2x2,5 hour bustrip.

meeting off. forecasts for tomorrow looks better though.

actually looks like its still raining. live score: http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/Speedway/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=6&CompetitionId=381

Attendances averages for 2011 season (according to speedwayracing.se not including play off) Rospigagrna 1696, best attendance: 2200 in the semifinal against Örnarna. Ikaros Smederna 1472, best attendance: 3200 in the semifinal against Masarna.(derby 117km between the cities, 92km between the tracks) Griparna 1167, best attendance: 1743 vs Ikaros Smederna (derby, 84km between the cities) Örnarna 990, best attendance: 1930 in the semifinal against Rospiggarna FNC Gnistorna 951, best attendance: 2137 vs Rospiggarna Masarna 825, best attendance: 2479 vs Ikaros Smederna in the semi-final Avantia 175. best attendance: 271 vs Ikaros Smederna. including playoff (so far): Rospiggarna 1768, Ikaros Smederna 1719 Örnarna 1124 Masarna 1061 some very very good attendance numbers.

ekuriren.se/sport/speedway/1.1176838--thj-missar-troligen-forsta-kvalfinalen thj is likely to miss the first final and its still uncertain about friday.

i dont think we will see THJ though.

as you could se if current leaders will win, Lejonen will finish 9th with Dackarna as nr 8 due to less good rider point quota, with Vetlanda and Hammarby to playoff.

Thorsell is apparently not fit enough to ride and is replaced by Christian Agö,

i don't know, but rumours are that they are going to scarp the guestrider system. IMO this is a very very very stupid idea. Its one of the major factors behind this years success with Allsvenskan. also looks like i have to find myself a stream as well since C+ for some reason have decided NOT to have a web stream tonight. :mad:

first post updated with the scores from the teams previous meetings. also i don't like how Lejonen "always" seems to register one team and then turn up with a completely different one. regarding the weather, it should be ok on all tracks, plenty of rain yesterday and during the night but, its has been a quite sunny day on most of the tracks today so it should not be a problem. There is a weather system lurking outside Gothenburg/the west coast but it should not interfere with tonight's meetings. Allsvenskan on the other hand....

just something to get you to start speculate, Jansusz Kolodziej have been spotted in Vetlanda today. Either he is replacing somebody or Vetlanda just brought him in as a backup in case any of Vetlandas riders couldn't ride tomorrow. (dont know if or how many of EV riders that rides in England). Then Sebastian Aldén says on his website that he is riding for Lejonen tomorrow, the question is just instead of who? http://www.aldenraci...en-imorgon.html apparently Holder is also coming.

Dackarna - Vetlanda at Canal+ tomorrow.

The three also happens to have the same amount of team points; 20 There rider point quota is also very similar so basically the teams that finishes 5th might just be a few hundreds from playoffs. There are also 4! teams that are fighting to avoid place 9 which is means demotion to Allsvenskan. Teams 5-8 will meet in a qualification series to avoid demotion to Allsvenskan; team 5 will meet team 8 and team 6 will meet team 7. The winners of those are finished for the season while the losers will meet to decide which team that will join #9 to Allsvenskan. the standings with the final round to go; pos....team........mtg..won...tied...lost...wrp...lrp......rdr.pqt.....tmp. 1.....Indianerna...16.....13.......1.......2......783 / 654 .=. 1,197........35 2.....Piraterna ....15.....10.......1.......4......709 / 639 .=. ,1095........25 3.....Elit Vetl....... 15......8........0.......7......698 / 639 .=. 1,092........20 4.....Valsarna......15......7........2.......6......678 / 670 .=. 1,011........20 5.....Hammarby..15......8........0 ......7.......662 / 681 .=. 0,972.......20 6.....Lejonen......14......5........1.......9.......584 / 675 .=. 0,865.......13 7.....Vargarna....15......5........0......10......641 / 696 .=. 0,920.......12 8.....Västervik....15......5........0......10......638 / 711 .=. 0,897.......12 9.....Dackarna...15......4........1......11......658 / 684 .=. 0,961........11 some explanation: mtg= number of completed meetings. wrp= won rider points lrp= lost rider points rdr.pqt= rider points qouta which is wrp dividerd by lrp. tmp= team points; 2p for victory, 1p for tied meetings and 1p for each aggregated bonus point.
