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

Dackarna wins the seriesm with Vetlanda second. Indianerna takes the 6th and final playoff spot.

yes that is correct http://www.elitvetlanda.nu/index.php?page=page&id=114

Nice to see Greg speak Swedish he is good at it too!

the weather is good and the track is said to have managed the rain pretty well. A picture from the track: http://gpbloggen.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/bild-080.jpg

i am not so sure that we will see Greg in next years GP series if he misses out on top 8. he will be in the same situation as Leigh Adams were in a year ago and he once said in an interview (2 years ago) , on a reply about when to quit, that he will do so when he wakes up in the morning and no longer feels that it is fun and when he no longer can keep up with the best.

for Swedish viewers: live from 12.00 at svtplay.se or from 13.00 in svt2.

Masarnas annual invitation meeting Avesta Masters, for current or former riders of masarna, will be held on September 8th this year. some of the participants this year are: Leigh Adams Antonio Lindbäck Eric Andersson Maksim Bogdanovs Linus Sundström. For the complete list see this link (pdf reader required).

yeah Swedish TV also says its off http://gpbloggen.wordpress.com/

i have taken a quick look at the teams websites but i haven't found any notes about it.

the Stadium is only 5 years old so its probably a really good stadium. Anyway The CRoatian GP is delayed to 20.00 Local time (8pm CEST/ 7pm BST). http://speedwaygp.com/en/newsdetail/a1841

i agree with your post but it seems like Woffy and Team Great Britain international doesn't agree with you http://speedwaygp.com/en/newsdetail/a1840?SID=3c68b5e6296c836f5b841542e2f87882 Personally i would of course like as many swedes as possible in the series but not if they're constantly going to trail at the back.

weather radar from Croatia: http://vrijeme.hr/aktpod_e.php?id=bradar&param=stat Gorican is in the northeast corner.

it is raining very heavy in Gorican according to SVT's commentators; http://gpbloggen.wordpress.com/. It has been raining on and off all day and the track is NOT covered so it doesn't look good. Video from the track: http://videos.videopress.com/Zzf4FxcN/gorican_fmt1.ogv

Micke, imo its a very good service especially for those who are unable to see the meetings live at the stadium, like racers, brandonbee, davidba and many others. I have seen i think 2 meetings live at the stadium this year and a bunch of streamed meetings although they quite frequently have freezed. I don't know what hardware setup you use but hosting video streaming can be quite CPU/RAM intensive so perhaps that might be one of the factors that contributes to the freezing? I do know that Eskilstuna Motorstadion got MAN broadband installed when the track became a GP track.

sorry i did look at your standings table

well i think Vetlanda should be able to take a comfortable home win especially since neither of the teams have anything to ride for. Vetlanda is also a very strong home team so i predict a score around 52-44 <-> 55-41 for Elit Vetlanda.

nr 7= Paul Mårtensson according to http://www.speedway.nu/2010/VisaNY.asp?div1.DJ

a very quick recovery from Jagus, he was "sick" with the flu yesterday but seems able to ride tonight...

THG have 3 loaned riders nr 7is Jacek Basinski who ridea for Smederna usually and nr 2 and nr 4.

9 million swedish kronor is about £780'000GBP according to yahoo currency converter. agreed although i found the subscription cost a bit expensive (~23,5GBP/month) . Personally i don't like the expertcommentators

The meeting in norrköping have been cancelled. They were just not able to fix the track after the rain. @brandonbee , this is far from the first time Ryan S have companied about a slightly wet track.

after Daniel Kings first season 64p from 8 meetings) i had expected him to be much higher uo but i dont know what happened to him. He haven't had many chances though and half of the chances he have been given have been difficult away meetings against Elit Vetlanda & Lejonen. The other two chances were away against Indianerna and Rospiggarna.
