i think Ullevi will be replaced by the new Swedbank Arena in Stockholm for 2012. It has a bigger capacity then Ullevi but is of the same typ as Cardiff and Copenhagen.

i dont know the reason for the new average system. about the second question. no as for now no tracks are endangered and there is actually a new track being built even though the 500cc track probably wont be finished until the 2012 season. Regarding the teams obviously teams like Valsarna, Solkatterna and Griparna are far from 100% safe and in a slightly longer perspective i think Lejonen and Piraterna have some serious work ahead of them to get things going in the right direction. Neither Solkatterna or Griparna have been granted the required license but from what i understand (wtothout knowing exactly) Griparna have manage to lower their debts. Spectator wise the attendances has decreased but that is the case for all major team sports in Sweden. All teams except Valsarna and Rospigagrna had an average of atleast 2100 attenders/meeting. The attendance average for all 9 teams combined are about 2600 attenders/meeting. Honestly i think Valsarna will have the same problems next season as this season since they hardly will be able to sign any better rider then they had and without any better riders the spectators will stay at home.

henryw i agree with you that both Prague and Gothenburg are very fine cities but imo both tracks are awful.

i agree with you dave. i also hope that 2011 is the last time we see Ullevi and Prague on the calendar.

one could also ask why Hans A (and AJ and Nicki too) didn't ride in the qualifiers.

here it is (hidden on page 3): http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=56861

Rune Holta stays with Dackarna which probably means that there are no room for Hans and PK at Dackarna. AJ, Freddie and Holta will get 6,433 together which means the remaing 4 riders only can have a total 4,067.

well if they want any form of credibility left they don't have any choice. Kolodziej has been one of the best riders in the world this season and despite him being a Polish rider there's no way that they can leave him out.

Ryan Sullivan to Indianerna http://www.indianerna.nu/nyhet.php?id=2082 and regarding Indianerna neither Walasek and Madsen will not be offered new contracts.

Przemyslaw Pawlicki to Piraterna http://www.piraterna.se/Default.aspx?nodeId=1774

20 year old Finnish rider Jari Mäkinen will ride for Rospiggarna next season. http://www.unt.se/sp...na-1074054.aspx Ikaros Smederna are negotiating with Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström and Ricky Kling regarding guest rider contracts. Västervik have signed Pontus Aspgren.

it seems that there will be even more rule changes for next season. A demotion series between teams 5-8 to decide what team that will be demoted to Allsvenskan after the season. The Play off will go back to contain 4 teams with two semi finals and a final.

Antonio Lindbäck have signed with Indianerna. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/motor/speedway/article7947883.ab

Gnistorna have signed 15 year old Polish talent Bartek Zmarzlik and 16 year old Danish talent Mikkel B Jensen. http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/lokalsport/malmosport/article1263792/Talanger-valjer-Gnistorna.html Svemo had a meeting yesterday were they were supposed to have taken final decisions about next years rules. but there are however still no news available regarding it.

So what you are saying i sthat Lindgren and AJ will perform worse in the Gps just because we have many foreign riders? And btw we have two great talents in THJ and Dennis Andersson despite the foreign riders and Simon G is pretty good too.

a couple of Confirmed riders: Daniel Gunnestad have signed for two more years with Smederna. Patryk Dudek is confirmed for two years with Örnarna, and Timo Lahti is confirmed for two more years with Rospiggarna. Karpov signed a two year deal with Hammarby recently however its is only valid if Hammarby is in Elitserien. Benjamin Barkers contract with Rospiggarna is also not valid any longer since Rospiggarna dropped down to Allsvenskan.

Hammarby has won tonights Allsvenskans 32 heat final. They won the first half with 51-45 and the second half with 55-41. Despite the victory Hammarby will most likely be denied the promotion to Elitserien.

added some info about new rules. More indo about the new rules will be known next week when the speedway section of Svemo have a meeting to decide the final details of the new rules. Some teams like Elit Vetlanda and Dackarna probably have to let some riders go.

an agreement have been reached and both legs of the Allsvenskan will be held tomorrow and both will be held at CanVac arena in Mariestad. That means that there will be a 32 heat meeting. First half will start at 18.00 and the second half will start at 20.30.

the first leg of the Allsvenskan final between Hammarby-Örnarnas has been cancelled because of rain.

the speedway team Bysarna on the Swedish Island, Gotland are one huge step closer on being able to start the construction of their new track in Hejde which is just east of Visby. Some of the people who live nere the suggested build site had appealed but länsstyrelsen (county administrative board) on Gotland rejected the appeals. The appeals concerned possible noise from the future racing on the track. However the noice measurements showed that all noice were below the decided limits. This means that work can begin in construction of a road to the decided location and when the road is finished, work will begin on the 80cc track, the pits and etc. http://www.svenskalag.se/start.asp?teamID=1227 http://sverigesradio...artikel=4073710
