though i am not 100 % sure i think what it says is that you need to fill in your personal information to register but that you can give or deny them or their partners the right to, use it for marketing surveys (the first give/deny) and advertisings sent out via email or sms (not spam). The emails will have info about special offers at ticketone or from their partners. The second give/deny consent only applies if you are company. Again this is what i think it says and i am not sure.

i told you so as long as they got their money rolling in the quality of the racing doesnt matter: http://speedwaygp.com/en/newsdetail/a298?S...6705894c672959b

Vargarna are interested in lending Troy Batchelor from Ikaros Smederna. Smederna Team manager says he might consider a switch with Troy for Kim Nilsson. Personally i'd prefer to keep Troy he have only been riding in 3 meetings and though he didnt do good at the two home meetings i think given some time he will improve. About Kim he is a talent but i don't understand why we would need another low scoring U21 rider? Kim havent really done good this season from reserve. He would have to fight with Eklöf/R.Henderson/ R. Bergqvist for the last spot in the lineup. It feels like Smederna wouldn't gain anything on it more likely loose on it.

here is an article about one of the grid girls and also the Boss of the techical Steweard team who's assignment is to check that all the bikes are within the regulation. http://folket.se/sportfolket/speedway/1.371507

well no matter what happens on Saturday they still will comeback for next year since Ullevi signed a 3 year deal. And as long as they have 15-20'000 people watching it i doubt that they will move coz' money talk and more spectators is why they moved it back to Ullevi from Eskilstuna.

found an article about Speedway in Finland http://www.svenskmotorsport.com/nyhetsarki...ticle464687.ece

in general i think its the same old story about who will do good. Crump, Nicki, Hans, Gollob, Greg.... It will be interesting to see how Emil handles this long temporary track. Track length is 400m+. Hard to predict without a proper draw but i think The Final: 1. Nicki 2. Crump 3. Gollob 4. AJ Semis: Nicki Crump Gollob AJ Greg Lindgren Adams Emil S.

Anders, firstly i did not write that article, i only linked to it and im not out to trash anyone im just really pissed that the away team's opinions is worth more then the home team's. Which could have costed us a victory. Secondly. The home team represented by Zorro who spoke directly to the spectators, on a direct question on why is it takings long, replied that "we want to ride, the track is in the way we want it but Holta think its to wet". Then the clock had already passed 19.15. Also there had been a meeting about 1 hour prior to the start (=18.00) according to a statement by Smedernas racedirector, on a question why the track was not inspected earlier, but that nobody had any complaint on the track then. You should also realize that when i arrived around 18.30 the trac was very wet but dried up considerably after the track team had put on new dry material. It wasnt wetter then 3 weeks ago against Vetlanda. Another statement from Smedernas Team Manager, Bosse Jansson said that the track was ready at 19.15 but it was not good enough for Holta and Walsek who got the referee with them. Holta and Walasek are of course entitled to have an opinion but should accept that the home team team want to have the track graded in a certain way. So they would have two options either ride and try to make the most of it or dont ride. Of course the safety is very important but if the track is safe enough for the home team then it should be the end of discussions. I still cant understand why the referee chose to listen more on the away team then the home team? I mean for a team like Smederna that dont have the the same amount of stars as Indianerna the preparations of the hometrack becomes even more important and with the complaints of the away team that affected the referee this advantage I think you would be pretty upset as well if Smedernas riders when visiting Vetlanda would convince the referee to prepare the track in a different way then you team's riders want?

an fan written article about when Rune Holta chickens out :mad: :mad: (no offense Anders): http://www.svenskafans.com/motor/artikel.a...354&todo=ok

Indianeranas Piotr Protasiewicz celebrated 10 years for Indianer with how own testimonial earlier tonight: 1. Hans Andersen 14p 2. Joonas Kylmäkorpi 11p 3. Rafal Dobrucki 10p. full results: http://www.speedwayresultat.com/2009/ovrig...90527kumla.html

wow thats allot of questions. i'll do my best of answering them. with level of support i assume you mean spectator levels. In general the level of spectating have increased compared to last season. Although i think Lejonen have had a decrease of the number of spectators. About economics teams rarely reveal their economic situation until its very critical. Question mark is for Ikaros Smederna, Västervik and also Lejonen i think who do have a large sponsor but they have lowered their attendances this season and they had red figures last season with more people on the meetings. I Think Weather and injuries will be a very decisive factor as usual. You can compare for yourself on these links: 2009 2008 As for the Stockholm teams. Obviously i think they will draw some spectators from each other. This year Hammarby have an average of sligthly less then 700 so far and Getingarna about 300 fewer then Hammarby. Sure Hammarby can get back to Elitserien but i think that it will be difficult and will probably take a few years. The best track it depends on what you mean with "best". The easist tracks to get too is, Smedstadion/Smederna Eskilstuna, Kråkvilan/vargarna-Norrköping and Possible Orionparken/Rospiggarna-Hallstavik. For Eskilstuna you would have 3 airports to choose from (Stockholm Arlanda about 100km), Stockholm/Nyköping-Skavsta (about 80km) or Stockholm/Västerås-Hässlö A(bout 53km) The two latter are only flown too by Ryanair while Arlanda is the biggest in Sweden with full international air traffic. Eskilstuna and Norrköping also is by far the two biggest cities in Elitserien. In case you would like to stay a day or two extra these two cities would offer the most non-speedway activity and would also provide a wider range of accommodation and food, i know that the pasta restaurant on Kungsgatan in Eskilstuna is qite "popular" for some of Smedernas riders. Linus Eklöfs parents also runs a restaurant in the Town Torshälla about 8km north from Eskilstuna. I have to admit though that havent been to all that many other tracks in Sweden so i dont know really what they are like except track length. About Smederna this season is extremely important whether we will survive or not. If we just got a bit more spectators to the meetings i think we will manage atleast for this season. we got a new title sponsor for the nearest three years, Ikaros which was very crucial for the survival of Smederna. But it depends on the weather (not good so far) and the performance of the team good weather and good performance means more people which means more money. Micke (tarabanko) and Stephen (Zetters) know more about Smedernas chances then me so i think they should answer instead of me. ABout the tv viewing, i have no idea. if they have many or few vievers. it is shown on Canal+ who only sell their sports channels togther in a "package" costing about £17/month. They also provide single meeting purchases view on demand on their website. they signed a 3 year dela last year i think so they'll have one more season to go. more then 20'000 spectators for Gotheburg Gp? i doubt it. There were only about 17'000 last year and i dont think it will be more this year even if the weather is expected to be good during the weekend. A swedish speedway magazine. That would be nice. I remember in 2003(?) there was an attempt, i think they made one edition before they cancelled it. I dont know why people wouldnt buy it. Possible allot of people didnt know about it. There arent even a good online community like this one. There have been a few attempts but disagreements between creator(s)admins/moderators/ l ed to that they were closed.

Valsarna will make some changes when the transfwr windows on monday: Ted Hagansbo will switch from Vetlanda to Valsarna. The reason for this is that a team only can use two riders at the time from their partner team. This means that Valsarna will have 10 riders but since a team only is allowed to have 9 riders with an average of 2.01 or higher they have to remove one. The rider who will have to leave is either Krister Jacobsen or Cameron Woodward Its quite likely that there will be more changes in the teams in Elitserien and Allsvenskan during next weeks transfer window.

the Swedish Team Manager have picked the following riders for the first preliminary team: Jonas Davidsson, Piraterna Antonio Lindbäck, Piraterna Daniel Nermark, Piraterna, Andreas Jonsson, Dackarna Fredrik Lindgren, Dackarna Peter Ljung, Elit Vetlanda Tomas H Jonasson, Elit Vetlanda David Ruud, Lejonen Sebastian Aldén, Elit Vetlanda Magnus Zetterström, Ikaros Smederna

yes its 80cc Distric Championship and 500cc U19?/U21? District Championship. i dont know if they are still on but i think so. you could always email them and ask: info@lejonen.se

Smederna took their first home win with 52-44. After a huge delay (over 1 hour) because Rune Holta was not happy with the track (which was a bit more wet then usual) Honestly i think that Holta as an away rider. doesn't have any say about the how the track should be graded. The home team captain (Zorro)said that they thought the track was ok and IMO the ref should not take his opinion into consideration when deciding about the track. This way Runes "orders" might remove some of the home advantage for the home team. A second delay happened when Jesper B Monbergs mechanics finger got cut off just below the fingernail. when his finger somehow got stuck in the chain. A very close meeting all the way especially after the away team's 5-1 in heat 14 but home riders King, Max, Zorro and Jagoda ended the meeting with 2x5-1 :D The most exciting heat was heat 13 where Indianerna had 5-1 after the first corner but Zorro in a very elegant manner winded them up one by one :D Most exciting rider: ZORRO!!!!!!!! Man of the match ZORRO!!!!!!!! Biggest surprise: Miakel Max who scored 8+1 Biggest disappointment: Kasprzak and Holta spectators: 2427. Smedernas Score: Ikaros Smederna 52 Magnus Zetterström 13+1 Wieslaw Jagus 11 Mikael Max 8+1 Daniel King 8+2 Krzysztof Buczkowski 6 Krzysztof Kasprzak 4 Linus Eklöf 2

looks like there will be a stream tonight for the televised meeting between Lejonen and ELit Vetlanda: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=...amp;part=sports broadcast start 19.00 CEST (18.00 BST).

Linus Eklöf wont ride tonight due to Burglary. Some breaked in into Ikaros Smedernas garage and stole allot of stuff: Linus Elöf lost two carburettors. Other things that were stolen was a n Enduro Motorcycle, helmets, goggles, kevlars... Apart from Linus, Martin Vaculik and Robert Henderson also got things stolen. It is not clear who will replace Linus but i think its either Robin Bergqvist, Robert Henderson or Henrik Karlsson. http://ekuriren.se/sport/speedway/1.368071

the weather is expected to be warm and sunny for the entire weekend B)

i think that you can follow all meetings live at http://www.elitspeedway.nu as well.

i have to say i dont agree on Bosse J's pick for Ikaros Smedernas team. Why is Max and Buczek picked over Vaculik? or why not use Miskowiak instead of Max? Misiek did pretty good at the home meetings last season i think he would score more points then Max from the nr4 position. I would have liked to see this team: 1. Kasper 2. Zorro 3. King 4. Miskowiak 5. Jagus 6. L. Eklöf 7. Vaculik

Anton Rosén is said to have an aching shoulder and will see a doctor tomorrow. I Wouldnt be surprised if its a broken collarbone.

yep as well as wishes of speedy recovery to the injured riders.

yes he is, Eklöf is 2nd and Larsen is 3rd.
