Hot Dogs, hamburgers, coffee... yes, but beer no. Itss not allowed to sell beer anyhow you wish. Some sort of restaurant kitchen is needed to be able to sell beer or any other alcohol i think.

I don't think Piraterna will manage to win the title especially not without Jonas Davidsson. I'd reckon that Vetlanda and Lejonen har the primary contenders with Dackarna as 3rd and Piraterna as 4th.

JSM is on Friday and SM+USM is on Saturday. Jonas Davidsson is listed as a participant but he will not ride and his place will be taken by Robin Törnqvist. It is held at G&B arena in Målilla which is Dackarnas hometrack. For more info see : http://www.speedwaysm.se/ it will NOT be shown on Canal+ so i doubt that there will be any streams from it.

According to Ekstrabladet, Nicki is guaranteed a wild card next season if he does not make the top 8. http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/motorsport/speedway/article1408184.ece

i just read that Tony Rickardsson will be attending in this meeting but not riding it seems (except for a few demo laps).

pretty decent weather forecasts for Saturday; http://www.smhi.se/vadret/vadret-i-varlden/ortsvader/fiveDaysForecast.do?geonameid=2610075&redirect=false http://www.yr.no/sted/Danmark/Syddanmark/Vojens/helg.html http://www.klart.se/v%C3%A4der-vojens-kommun.html

yes that is correct. He have also ridden 8 meetings for Örnarna in Allsvenskan as Örnarna is Lejonen's partner team.

true but a three man team won't win any meetings. Pepe, Zorro and Walasek rode way to poorly. They scored 5p together from 12 rides. However Elit Vetlanda looks very very strong. And i think it will be very hard to stop them. Now Elit Vetlanda will race Lejonen at home next week and i think that Vetlanda will win that one too which means that Lejonen will have Indianerna the week after that at Lejonen's track which i predict that Lejonen will win.

so tell me you dont have evenings and night skies in America or what?

not really when you look at the status of their Riders, Lindgren out, PK injured, Hans injured, Ricky Kling not Elitserien material. Howver 2 0's for Holta is quite shocking. Dackarna is harvesting the fruits of their type of team building. When you have a team like their were they put all the eggs in the same basket this is what happens if one or two riders doesn't ride or doesn't deliver. They don't have any other riders to put in now when Hans/Lindgren are injured.

Eklöf replaces Gafurov. live links: Indianerna - Elit Vetlanda http://www.speedway.nu/2010/reportNY.asp?ElitF.CB Dackarna - Piraterna http://www.speedway.nu/2010/reportNY.asp?ElitF.AE

yes

they will use R/R for Davidsson. So all of the 6 others can take one ride each from JDs 4 scheduled heat.

yes its beeing discussed here http://www.speedway-...dpost&p=1788113

i really hope Svemo can see now that there is a need for Allsvenskan. as you mentioned Solkatterna have had huge problems this season and i don't know hat will happen with Valsarna or Västervik in Elitserien. Both Valsarna and Västervik have or have had financial problems this season so they are bot quite uncertain. Then today news were released that Piraterna have to take huge loans to pay for their expenses. From Div1 Smederna have already decided to be in Allsvenskan next season i don't know about Gnistorna i hope that they will follow Smederna to Allsvenskan. The difference between Smederna and Gnistorna is that while Smederna have used their own riders Gnistorna have shared several of their riders with Örnarna and Lejonen. Since Svemo want to remove the partner team system and replace it with an individual guest rider system i think that Gnistorna might have some problems with finding enough riders. Both Hammarby and Örnarna have expressed there wish/aim to be in Elitserien. So a possible (if its likely or not i don't know) scenario is that Valsarna and Västervik are demoted while Hammrby and Örnarna are promoted. Its starting to become quite a rush now for Svemo to take a decision about next seasons league system since all teams entry notifications have to be ready at November 1st instead of December 31st as it have been earlier. I think that is one of the worst decisions Svemo has taken the past years because it will leave to little amount of times for teams to find sponsors and riders they should rather have put it somewhere in the late winter like the end of February or something like that Then i would like to see: That they kept the current series system with automatically promotion and demotion between all three league with promotion being dependent on fianaces. That they lowered that average cap to 40.00 and added a total cap for the entire squad that should be at maybe 50.00 That they changed the rules for how averages work.Currently teams like Vetlanda can put riders like THJ in a Div1/Allsvenskan team to have that rider lower his average to get a lower Elitserien average. All division averages should only be based on the riders performances in that particular division regardless in which division the riders is registered in. Standardized contracts and salaries. Meaning that a riders salaries is based upon a coefficient at Svemo. Like Svemo would decided about a base value for riders with an average of 2.00 and then calculate the other riders salaries with a simple formula like (y * x = z) where y is the average, x is the value and z is the points money. I don't know if it would work but at least that would mean that clubs could stop the bidding every year and some of the best riders would have to find a new team meaning that the series would hopefully be a bit more even.

Rospiggarna have decided to step down to Allsvenskan from Elitserien One of their board members,Göran Lindblom, says that Rospiggarna neither can or want to be apart of Elitserien under the current circumstances he also says that he finds the entire system sick. So yesterday evening the board took a unanimously decision to step down one notch to Allsvenskan. This means that Rospiggarna who won the playoffs as newcomers in 1995 and during the 14 following seasons they won the gold another three times 1997, 2001 & 2002. Göran Lindblom continues and says that the y have several reasons for their decision. They have had problems with decreasing attendance levels and sponsors incomes so they don't want to risk the clubs existence by staying in Elitserien and by that risking to send the club into bankruptcy. Göran also says that Rospiggarna will do a break even financial results this year and that it is not an immediate financial crisis. All riders and contractors have been paid. So in general it is all about that we don't want to gamble with another season in Elitserien and hope that it would work out alright. The current season have costed Rospiggarna about 4 million Swedish Kronor (approx £356'000GBP) and to take a step down would means that they would at least lower their cost with 50% Göran says. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/speedway/1.942565-rospiggarna-lamnar-elitserien

two allsvenskan meetings tonight: Hammarby Griparna: http://www.speedway.nu/2010/reportNY.asp?Alls2.BA Masarna -Solkatterna http://www.speedway.nu/2010/reportNY.asp?Alls2.CD

i agree its not Smederna's fault but i think its good for the league that Smederna (and i hope Gnistorna) moves to Allsvenskan. It was a beautiful and a very cold evening, only +10 Celsius (50F) when we left the stadium. I have no news regarding David Rohlén.

regarding the medics, since a few weeks, Smederna have their own ambulance and medics which is cheaper then renting an ambulance from Landstinget however you won't have the same standard as a regular ambulance. The private ambulance also aren't allowed to transport patients more then to get them off the track. I agree on that this meeting as most of the other this season for Smederna, were boring. It is not fun to seea meeting ending with 72-24, Smederna only lost 8p and 2 of them after a "mechanical failure" for Henrik Karlsson in heat 13. Anyway it was very nice to that over 1000 people had decided to watch the meeting at the track. That is almost as much as Valsarna's lowest attendance and they are an Elitserien team. Next year Smederna will ride in Allsvenskan (if there'll be any Allsvenskan next season) and that is a much tougher league but i think they will do ok if Smederna can manage to keep all riders and maybe bring in 1 or 2 new riders. for those of you who turned it off before the end did miss two things 1: this 2: a small but nice firework
