  1. a new webportal about swedish speedway have been started: http://www.elitspeedway.nu/ it is governed by Swedish Elite League Association Google English Version
  2. not all Swedish 80cc tracks are standalone tracks. Some 80cc tracks like Brovallen in Avesta have their 80cc track inside the main 500cc track. So possible some British tracks maybe could build 80cc tracks inside the main track?
  3. according to a danish news article Nicki is Prepared to accept a 20-30% pay cut in Poland: "Den fynske verdensmester er i konkrete forhandlinger med to klubber i Polen efter krakket i Czestochowa. Men Nicki Pedersen må indstille sig på en lønnedgang på 20-30 procent" it says that the World champion from Fyn (The Danish Island Nicki is from) is negotiating with teams in Poland after he broke the contract with c'towa.
  4. Nickis orginal Swedish contract is for two seasons and is said to give him about 3,85 million Swedish kr per season which is about £320k
  5. no its 25%. http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/jonkoping/nyheter...Artikel=2730469
  6. if you would have read the first thread (http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=47305) about this subject you would had know that the company indeed is the Cognor metal concern.
  7. well they can hardly become that much worse can they? but honestly i think its just regular PR nonsense coz they have said things like this before. Especially about Gbg.
  8. yeah it will be intresting to see how he and his Swedish team acts since they have said that they want to lower the riders wages by 25%.
  9. according to Nickis website. Nicki will not ride for c'towa in this season of Polish Extraliga. the reason for this is that c'towa is suffering from severe economic difficulties since their main sponsor Cognor which is a part of the metal concern is suffering from the global finance crisis. Both Nicki and the club tried to re-negotiate the contract but were unable to reach an agreement. Nicki is therefore free to begin the search for a new club. source: http://www.nickipedersen.com/Default.aspx?...amp;NewsID=1636 http://www.nickipedersen.com/Default.aspx?...amp;NewsID=1637
  10. 5 euros is for a single meeting while 40 euros is for the entire season.
  11. the TVP usually have live streams aswell has archived meetings.
  12. i cant really understand why PK is so persistent in trying to reach the GPs again. but on the other hand i dont see that any other rider could take his place in the nominations.
  13. all teams and official averages and calendar are now available at : http://www.speedway.nu/
  14. 1. Nicki Pedersen 2. Hans Andersen 3. Jason Crump 4. Greg Hancock 5. Andras Jonsson 6. Leigh Adams 7. Gollob 8. Fredrik Lindgren 9. Holta 10. Nicholls 11. Emil S 12. Ulamek 13. Walasek 14. Harris 15. Bjerre i think that lack of GP experience will make the newcomers struggle although they surely will while Lindgren who will do his second year will benfit from that he had a full gp season last year. I also hope/believe this is the last year we see the 3 "old boys" Leigh, Greg and Tomasz. its time for them to let go.
  15. Just read that reigning German champions MSC Olchin have decided to withdraw from the Bundesliga because of the new match format where they go from 4 teams/match to two teams /match. Neither does SC Neuenknick och MSC Pfaffenhofen like the changes and have decided no to file any team registrations. more info can be found here: http://www.racemcsport.com/nyhet_spec.aspx?NyhetsID=80
  16. yeah clan is a good translation. "House" could also be used as in Ätten Windsor/ House of Windsor also Kinship could be used.
  17. well no he is wrong : http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geting and then check the english article (Vespoidea) Hornet is something else.
  18. about Vargarna i think there should be bus line that passes the arena. yes it is: http://www.ostgotatrafiken.se enter your departing adress (should be Söder tull) and enter Kråkvilan has your destination. check this picture for where the destination busstop is and how far its from there to the arena: http://bayimg.com/image/ianipaabj.jpg
  19. i have some additional info about that list actually Getingarna means the Wasps and not the Bees. and i would translate Gastarna with deckhand since seamen is a bit too general. Also gast could mean ghost. Masarna is a nickname for people living in the province Dalarna (for those who doesn't know where the team is from) Rospiggarna is a nickname fpr people living in the area called "Roslagen" which is the coastal areas of the Province Uppland. Njudung is an old area in the province that today is known as Småland. Then Småland is a province and not a county. also Ulv(arna) is more of old Swedish for Varg (wolf) then a synonym and is not really used in the modern Swedish language.
  20. Another news is that the club that today is called SMK Östgöta, of which Vargarna is a part, is to be split up into 3 independent clubs.
  21. Anders for Ikaros Smedena this would be my starting 7 at the premiere: 1. King 2. Zorro 3. Kasper 4. Batchelor 5. Jagoda 6. Max 7. Eklöf 8. Robbie Henderson for the most other meetings i would replace Max with Buczkowski or Miskowiak for the reserve spot. Then also switch places between King/Kasper depending on home/away.
  22. Nyköping is about 50km closer then Gothenburg. use: http://www.hitta.se/ or http://www.resrobot.se or http://kartor.eniro.se/ for driving directions and maps.
  23. Gubbängen will be the only track to host two independent teams, Hammarby and Getingarna.
  24. there are no point limit for the 9 rider squad but for the lineups the limit is 42.00
