Svemo have taken a decision to compromise a little regarding the demand for airfence and "formplyfa" on some type of tracks. The type of tracks affected are so called "practice tracks" which is not in regular use but only used for practice/learning. This means that tracks like, Örebro, Täby (Stockholm), Östersund and Bollnäs can continue as before. http://www.racemcsport.com/nyhet_spec.aspx?NyhetsID=843&Sport=speedway

i think Smederna will show some of their away meetings as well but it depends on the standard of the internet connection., just keep an eye on smedernas website on race nights and you will notice if they have a stream or not. Oh and Robert Pettersson was suspected to have broken his thigh bone but examinations showed that the bone was not broken. However Masarnas Pontus Aspgren had to pull out of the ongoing allsvenskan meeting between Masarna and Hammarby after a crash. Pontus probably have broken a collarbone.

latest news is that Gnistornas Robert Pettersson have a broken tigh bone. The other three riders escaped uninjured.

reports says that all 4 involved in the crash in Eskilstuna are back up on their feets. And yes i think Ikaros Smederna will try to broadcast all of their meetings this way. look at the calendar at ikarossmederna.nu for their meetings and the links to the live streams (different link for each meeting) will be posted at I.Sm. website.

unfortunatley there has been a crash in Karlstad in the Allsvenskan meeting between Solkatterna from Karlstad and visitors Masarna from Avesta. Sources says that Sebastian Aldén (Masarna) and Robin Törnqvist (Solkatterna) have collided. Aldén probably a broken wrist and Törnqvist a severe concussion and hip pains. Both will be taken to hospital in Karlstad. The crash happened in Heat 14.

last years spectator statistics (from speedway.nu): Dackarna....... 4255 Lejonen..........3800 Indianerna......3452 Elit Vetlanda...3338 Västervik........3138 Piraterna .......3111 Vargarna........2508 Rospiggarna...2473 Smederna......2163 Smedernas home meetings were held early in the season before they went broke and the weather wasn't especially good at the first 2-3 meetings. And the final home meeting at Vargarna, which was held at a sunny June evening, attracted 3183 people and their lowest attendance was against Rospiggarna when only 1400 showed up.

the swearing in Swedish terms aren't really that bad but there aren't any English word that you could translate it to.

Seimour Östervall is the club president as he is the chairman in Västervik Speedway. Swedish teams doesn't have the promotor system you have in Britain. Its really *swearing* bad. The amount of spectators continues to go downwards and the chairman Seimour Östervall, is to say the least, very frustrated. Sunshine and speedway usually means that the poeple will come in good numbers to Sparbanken Arena (sprabanekn is a local bank in Västervik) but against last weeks meeting against Rospiggarna, only 1744 people showed up. Its really *swearing* bad, i had expected more now when the weather was good but perhaps icehockey on tv (world championships) affects the amount of spectators. I feel very frustrated says Seimour Östervall. The question is if Västervik's inhabitants isn't more interested in seeing their speedway team or if the club is not good enough at market and promote the team? We just had a crisis in the club. I think that Västerviks inhabitants should leave the coach says Seimour. Can you market yourself better? -Well we can only hope that people comes. The low attendances is not an immediate disaster since the club have calculated with a spectator average at 1800-2000 people/meeting. -its better to make a lower expectation budget then to make a budget with exaggerated expectations that will be hard to reach up to. Haven't you put the ambitions to low? -after the crisis we have had to focus on chasing sponsors and money while we also have lowered our rider salaries, says Seimour, who explains that the club haven't had neither the time and financial resources to promote themselves better. Will it become better in the future? yes then we will have the time to structure it allot better. the bold lines are the reporters question to the club president. http://www.vt.se/spo...ticleid=5384737

yeah Rospiggarna is a weak team however their best rider Jagus was missing for some reason and i think a rider like Pawlicki should be able to perform much better,

Vargarna wanted to ride tomorrow but Indianerna said no.

i think it is in that way that Pepe (1ist reserve) replaces Emil until Emil is back. That was the case when Tony Rickardsson pulled out midway into the 2006 season. Then Hans A took Tonys place in the remaining GPs that season.

Speedy den boy, do have a link to where you read it? If you post it i can give you a much better translation. Also a little side note, Swedish speedway teams does NOT have a owner, they own themselves. Evben if all teams have incorporated the actual team organisation always owns at least 51% of the stocks of the "Speedway team Inc."

Vargarna vs. Indianerna is cancelled, a new date have not been decided yet.

Hey again, david, i've been looking again at the bus/train times. according to Östgötatrafiken, there are no train or bus that leaves Motala at 21.30. Your only option/hope is to take bus 520 fro Motala to Linköping where you either stops or switch to a commuter train to Norrköping. You'll be at Linköping around 23.30 and in Norrköping about 30 minutes later. I'havent beena ble to find any times for the last stage from either Lkpg/nrkpg at your day of travel since time schedules are only available to July 31st. However looking at times a week earlier there seems to be two options from either Linköping or Norrköping. From Linköping you can either: 1. take a train (SJ Regional train nr 10220) from Lkpg to Norrköping where you will switch to a trainbus (SJ Tågbuss nr 6322) from Nrkpg to Nykpg and again in NyKpg switch to a local bus (line nr 715) that will take you to Skavsta Airport. The train departs at 06.15 from Linköping Central station and you will be at Skavsta at 08.28 or 2. you can take an expressbus (Swebus Expressbuss nr 830) at 06.25 from Lkpg to Nyköping and switch to a local bus (line nr 715 the same as in option 1) that will goto the airport and you'll be at Skavsta at 08.28. From Norrköping: 3. take an expressbuss (Swebus Expressbuss 830, the same bus that leaves Linköping 45 min earlier) which will depart at 07.10 from Norrköping Bus station and it will take you to Nyköping where you'll switch the same local bus (line nr 715 ) as in the options above and you'll be at Skavsta at 08.28 4. trainbuss (SJ Tågbuss nr 6320) at 06.15, from Norrköping bus station, to Nyköping where you'll switch the local bus (line nr 715 ) as in the options above and you'll be at Skavsta at 07.51 note that on the first train in option 1 you (probably) need to make a reservation and the same goes for the expressbus in those option it is used this is if you want to be certain to get a seat. The train is booked at www.sj.se and the bus at www.swebus.se if you pm me your email i could send the links to it.

AJ has been handed a €300 fine for his argument with the referee. http://svt.se/2.93021/1.2013240/jonsson_botfalls_efter_utbrottet?lid=puff_2013240&lpos=rubrik

imo the ref made the correct the decision. AJ was initially ahead of Gollob but left a gap for Gollob on the inside. Gollob saw the gap and moved into it and AJ was still keeping his foot at the side of his bike. Then when Gollob had almost past AJ, AJ decided to put his foot down in front of Gollobs backwheel and contact was inevitable with the result of AJ falling.

two meetings in Allsvenskan tonight: Griparna v Solkatterna http://www.speedway.nu/2010/reportNY.asp?Alls.AD Örnarna v Masarna http://www.speedway.nu/2010/reportNY.asp?Alls.EC

Gotland Islanders AKA Bysarna have been granted a construction permit from Gotland's planning and construction office, for their new track in Hejdeby, which is just a few Km east of Visby. They have earlier been granted a permit from Gotland's environmental office, however that permit has been appealed. Apparently noise measurements have been conducted in a manor to simulate a real heat start. The results were most satisfying and the engines could not be heard as close as a few hundred meters away at the local church. When finished the track will have several noise reducing constructions such as high and wide dirt walls and noise reducing fences. The construction will be done in two stages. In the first stage the access road and the 80cc track will be built, in the second stage the 500cc track, service buildings, pits, stands, parkings and etc will be built. http://sverigesradio...artikel=3710320 http://gotlandsnytt....hejdeby-kanske/ http://www.helagotla...ticleid=6023598
