Lennart Andersson have been elected as the new chairman in Valsarna. Other news about Valsarna is that even if their finances look very bad for a majority of the season, Valsarna did managed a 60'000kr (~£6000) plus last season. Hopefully the finances will stay on black figures for Valsarna. Other new chairmen are Johan Thuresson in Piraterna and Jeanette Moback for Tigrarna. More news: the ovaltrack racing section of Svemo (that is the section fo (speedway, iceracing, longtrack and grasstrack) have been affected by several changes and defections. First the 4 people strong sections were slimmed down to an one person section were Leif Fredriksson were supposed to be the man to lead the section, with Kristian Stenström as a co-ordinator. However Kristian left his position in February and a few days ago Leif decided to leave his position as well. Pelle Westlng , who is secretary general of Svemo, says that the workload put on Leif became to much but there is a support system that can step in. However, at the moment, we dont use the tern leader of the section. Its on the volounteer side that we have problems. *1 Leifs duties will be managed by Bertil Bergström from Svemo's main board, he will be assisted by Pernilla Larsson at Svemo's secretariat and by Svemo sporting director Annika Pettersson. Tony Olsson will also assist them in an advisory role. In the article there are also questions about the National team's team manager and whether or not Peter Jansson (also TM for Vargarna) will stay as tm. He is not replaced at the moment but he might be replaced. We don't know yet, but clearly he have had too many roles, we just can't give him all the work just because he is a kind man. We need to start having full or part time employed national team, team managers. It is connected to a larger structure, we dont need just one tm like the National football team, Svemo have several different sports. full article in google english. * 1= Many of those who work in the various sections of Svemo, are doing it on a volunteer hobby basis and there for have regular jobs and etc. as well.

Lejonen have lost their main sponsor Axelent who have decided to sponsor Nicki Pedersen only.

AS said in first post. In 2011 its mandatory with two Swedish riders in the 7 rider lineup for Elitserien of which one have to be a Swedish U21 rider and that rider. In Allsvenskan there have to be minimum 3 Swedish licensed riders in Allsvenskan lineups one of them has to be a Swedish U21 rider. The u21 riders can only be replaced once per meeting which means that they have minimum three rides/meeting.

A company called Avantia have bought the name right to Vargarna's Allsvenskan team Ulvarna. Ulvarna will therefore change name to Avantia Speedway. http://www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?ArticleID=6539243

Adam Shields have signed with Västervik which means that one rider in their squad have to be removed. http://www.wmsk.se/speedway/Lokala_Nyheter.aspx?id=2432

the Venue will be G&B Arena in Målilla again but currently no decisions have been taken about what weekend it will be held on. However i would guess that it will be sometine during the second half of the summer? information will be available at this website http://www.speedwaysm.se/ (it still shows info for 2010).

hmm tigrarna already have three guestriders so i think they need to put him in Tigrarnas squad and then use him as guestrider for Hammarby?

Griparna has been granted a reconstruction and elitlicense by Svemo which means that they will be allowed to participate in Allsvenskan 2011. http://www.svemo.se/ImageVault/Images/id_4610/scope_0/ImageVaultHandler.aspx
