Just came on to post to see if you had any information about this rider as i saw on Sportowefakte he had a great win yesterday too. I see you had already mentioned him in his previous meeting. How highly do you rate his prospects after his latest meeting? Is he likely to seek out further opportunities around Europe? Does Finland have any more potential top riders waiting to come out? From his Facebook page he looks quite a character, 16 years old with very long blond dreadlocks!

I haven't got the time to do it all for you but you can get all the rules regarding meeting format and team line-ups etc. plus lots of other regulations (some very strict lol) in a single document. I've had a good look at it and was going to copy and paste parts but i really haven't got the time. The meeting format, including how many rides particular riders can take is explained very simply at first. However, if you refer to whenever it says "the exception to the rule is" well lol. I have Google Chrome set to automatically translate any foreign language page which led me instanly to the official documentation. Anyways..... 1. Go to and download http://mfr.ru/wp-con...ент-2013.pdf 2. Go to Google Translate http://translate.goo...co.uk/?hl=en-GB 3. Click on translate a document and upload it via the browse button. Hey Presto! it's all in quite good English. I've found that Polish is close to being the worst translated language with Google Translate, most others make more sense. Polish as you know is full of hilarious 'Slag' headlines and references, mind you, Italian proudly has the word for a fatherless person emblazoned frequently throughout it's speedway articles. Regards making it up as they go along, hey don't the BSPA do that with the whole season

Thank you, you're welcome. Well all i can say is MY racecards ARE the BEST.......(to those who download them)........and OTHERS racecards ARE the BEST (to those who download them) Simple as that! There are many different cards for many different tastes. Anyway enough, i think the racecard thing been done to death and i don't want 'boredom' as the cause on my death certificate. Please God don't let the forum glitch and only print the first part of the above paragraph, i'll be lynched lol lol. I ended up not going out tonight so managed to format the Danish ones so fingers crossed for next week. Too be honest i want them for myself more than anything lol. I've also set up the British Final ones, including the new DUAL GRID design.

Incidentally, and hoping that the translated details on the official site are up-to-date, in the 'Notes' box on the racecard i've added the rules concerning the make-up of heats 13 and 14, reserve rider rules, tactical reserves and joker double points etc. Maybe it's just me but i was unaware of what was going on at times in recent meetings lol lol. Oh well, it's staying if only to remind me with my poor memory

OK i can envision that might be the case regarding tv, but how about the more 'affordable' option of bringing it to our computer screens via streaming? Premier Sports now stream the Swedish League in the UK and looking to expand it internationally, and Kanal Sport gives us free high quality streaming from the Danish League.

Oh yeah that's a thought, although police often take great interest in 'civil' matters on behalf of their political masters Lol awwww that's tight.

Any chance of confirming the MAY fixtures being shown? I went to Sky's speedway home page and clicked on 'Live On Sky' http://www1.skysport...speedway-on-sky May's listings are: TUESDAY 21ST MAY Berwick 19:30 Newcastle Premier League - League, Sky Sports 1 HD (19:30) *SUNDAY 26TH MAY King's Lynn 19:00 Swindon Elite League - League, Sky Sports 2 HD (19:00) MONDAY 27TH MAY Poole 19:30 King's Lynn Elite League - League, Sky Sports 1 HD (19:30) * Shurely shome mistake here! I've checked both the King's Lynn and Swindon websites and no such meeting is scheduled. Guess i'm not adding the June fixtures to my calendar any time soon with such a clanger for May present.

I've got quite a busy and hectic few days coming up so not sure if i can make it in time for this coming Monday's and Wednesday's meetings, due to the British FInal and Swedish Elitserien racecards also to be done too, but i will try and start the MIniMax racecards for the Danske Liga this week if able. Goodness me! that news is gonna cause apoplexy in a few people on here who trail me around the forums lol lol, but hey as with posts on here, you can block people you don't like so nobody has to read their posts and also nobody is forcing you to download racecards etc. So leave be those who like to

Lol geez my SatNav gonna blow a fuse, just hope it's not dyslexic too.

I disagree with withdrawing as it hurts the teams chances right now, although with only one team getting through the race-off and that might be a tall order for us it might well be a chance to blood younger riders? I must add though he made some fantastic points and i strongly agree with a lot of what he said in this week's Speedway Star, it's well worth picking up a copy.

Yeah i know, i've already corrected the original typo.

Can't help picturing and wondering if the police will suddenly swamp a track this season with batons drawn and hurling tear gas towards the riders at the starting gate because it's gone past the curfew time! There seems to be more tracks than ever with curfew times imposed? Or has there always been and they are just getting stricter or narrower? It does seem wrong that Kent have such an early shutdown on them that will undoubtedly negatively affect crowd levels. It's very galling in that football clubs who attract far, far greater crowds, tons of litter in streets around the grounds, very high traffic levels (hey! traffic JAMS), and more prolonged noise both in AND out of the stadium are allowed to operate late into the evening. Has your club ever gone past the curfew time to finish an important meeting?, if so i'm guessing more likely in the past than in recent years, Has the local council in view of the importance of the event or rarity of the breaking of the curfew been forgiving and not issued any punishment? Although i was only a little kid when i first went to speedway at Belle Vue's Hyde Road, i'm sure i can remember a British League Riders Championship in front of over 20,000 fans going on very late, and that meeting always had football crowd noise levels. Ahhh! don't want to do a Mary Hopkins but those were the days my friend lol. Then again on reflection there was a permanent amusement park, entertainment halls and zoo attached to the stadium grounds lol. I don't really see a Mr Jobsworth from the council trying to attach a noise abatement order on to a noisy tiger, lion or bear.

Ok like the Holstebro riders before they get lynched, i'm outta here, was a fair meeting. Hmmmm British Final and a Danish meeting on Monday. Like many i suspect, i'll watch both on different mediums, however one would think the Danish one will end before the British Final. It would have done today

Not a good race for Balinski to be caught napping at the start, a damaging 1-5 there. Wow anyone else having the forum go incredibly slow again?

That was a pretty clear 5-1 to mix it up but hang on....i remember this happening in the last match, and in the next heat it's a reversal with the home riders 1&2 against the visitor's 4&5. I getting used to this Danish format now lol.

Most of us try not to draw attention to our mistakes, hush now lol. I was just glad Hougaard didn't storm to a win in the race after i criticized him.

We really must concentrate on the speedway, but seeing as you told an oldie before i got to follow with...does the outfit make her bum look big? no her big bum makes her bum look big lol.

Bloody Hell you are right Alan with your recent observation on the eating habits of the Danish start tarts, what a hefty rear on that lady in yellow.

How Patrick Hougaard has fallen, he looked so promising a year or two ago.

Good to hear you're able to watch, looks like we'll be getting some good racing.

You likely have to update something, Flash? Cool, i am a kind person but still can't get my head around this business of if someone is watching a meeting delayed then nobody can talk about it in the match thread. Nice racing in Heat 2.

Evening/afternoon, great quality pictures i see.

First of all hopefully the delayed broadcast won't be a regular occurrence. I got to admit i made a point of staying away from this thread on the grounds that i wouldn't expect others who can watch the meeting live to not have the pleasure of discussing events live. Obviously i would expect the score and unfolding events to be talked about as they happen. Absolutely no offence intended Pandorum but i don't see why people would come to this specific thread if they didn't want to know the score of a live match. A lot of my sports clash and i occasionally have to record one of them and take it as a fact of life i've got to avoid going to where i'll see the score/result. No worries though you'll never get the score in advance from me as i won't be coming to the thread when there is delayed coverage. Aside from those who have to utilize streams because they don't/can't have Sky, obviously in this section we do have many international fans watching in Sweden and wherever else the Elitserien may be shown on tv, so they don't rely on Premier Sports for their coverage. It would be a bit like a fan from a country where the SGP is only broadcast days or a week later asking us not to discuss it until they've had a chance to watch it. On to the meeting, i'm not sure why so many people had Indianerna as nailed on favourites for this match. Whilst i didn't by any means expect such a large victory i don't see it as a massive upset. Vastervik technically had two top riders in Hans Andersen (yeah i know he fluffed it) and Chris Harris, and they also ended up with a third in Tomasz Jedrzejak, but they clearly pre-meeting had a good advantage in the reserve positions. Troy Batchelor and Ludvig Lindgren must have been expected to outscore Damian Balinski and Mathias Thornblom surely? What's up with Antonio Lindback he seems to have had a few stinkers recently in league racing. He started great in the GP on Saturday with two wins only to fade badly and not qualify for the semi-finals. He had another poor meeting here too. Glad to see a broadcaster do something i've mentioned before, and beat Sky to it in the process, that is display a riders individual heat scoring along a single line instead of a bare total. The Swedish graphics have been stepped up a considerable notch or two, quite impressive. Sky's Elite League table is quite odd with the limited chosen columns they show, especially as it would appear they could fit more in? Sad to hear of Hammarby's thrashing at home to Dackarna (38-52), i know i said preseason that they looked weak but wow! that was a shocker indeed. The forum has been very slow at times over here too. It's not my broadband connection either, that's merrily chugging/speeding away at 76Meg. Also, the forum is occasionally showing as "not just you" at the 'downforeveryoneorjustme' site which always comes in handy to check if it's the site or your connection/computer. http://www.downforev...neorjustme.com/ Great to hear that you had such a quality stream. You'll appreciate it even more when you come over and watch speedway in the raw, chilly, wet British summer. But don't worry you can have plenty of to numb the cold. We don't want you going back to the sunny US of A with a chill.

Gee Dave i know we can be a bit rough on tv commentators on these forums but surely you didn't need an armed convoy to get you there did you? lol. Appreciate you are doing the commentary 'live' but it is correct that we'll only be seeing it 'as live' because they've put Ice Hockey on instead?

Lol just have to hope my SatNav does typo. I'll correct it. Cheers, as ever, i'd be a thickie if it weren't for Wiki.
