Lake Bodom Comet

thanks to all for the info I just wondered about Malilla because they usually make the announcement straight after the event about dates for the following year. Assume Malilla will be in August again.....

Thanks for the Goteborg date Any news on Malilla please?

Do any of our Swedish members know if Sweden will still stage 2 GPs in 2010 and if any dates have been fixed yet? I think I read somewhere that Goteborg will be a definite but what about Malilla? Is it likely to be retained as a venue(depite the rain!)? I need to know dates as soon as possible please to plan leave from work in 2010!! Thanks in advance

Laughable to call it the Nordic GP unless the Wildcard was truly representative of the Nordic title and it went to someone like Finland's Kauko Nieminen or even Joonas Kylmakorpi. Might have well just called it GP of Jutland

Can any of our Polish friends help me obtain Krosno speedway scarf with their wolf logo? Can offer British scarf/souvenir in exchange! Thank you

Does anyone know if the pits will be open to fans before the meeting or if there will be any rider autograph/photo sessions??

Mine just arrived too!

Just checked the ticket tracker on the Seetickets.com website and it now says mine have been despatched, didn't say that at lunchtime. So relying on my postwoman to have them through my letterbox for Saturday as travelling down from Cumbria on the Monday and post never usually delivered until the afternoon!!

Unbelievable really...........

with just 4 post days to go before the meeting still no sign of tickets Maybe someone else has had more luck!

Typical of speedway organization!

Yeh that message been on tracking for nearly 2 weeks!! Maybe they're being posted from New Zealand...by seamail !

Has anyone received their SWC tickets yet?

Seems ages since the last issue came out! When will the next issue be published please?? Thanks!

Still no sign of tickets yet, anyone else received theirs yet?

Many thanks! If we haven't received them by 10th July I will be panicking as that leaves just 2 days before the meeting and one of them is a Sunday!!

Has anyone received tickets they ordered for this through Seetickets.com yet?? Thanks!

Think Warsaw team rode at the Gwardia football stadium near the centre of Warsaw but they dropped out of the 2nd Division a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly Andy Smith was in the team. There have been rumours of maybe a Polish Individual Championship meeting being staged there but so far nothing definite...shame really as Warsaw pretty easy trip for British fans!

Well Norwegians ride for Poland in speedway, Slovenijans for Hungary and GB used to have New Zealanders in the national team so don't think your point would make much difference Iris!!

Well done Kauko for a great 4th place in GP Qualifier @ Lonigo!!! Bad luck to Joonas @ Divisov, the meeting probably came a bit too soon after his recovery from injury Anyone know which semi-final Kauko will be flying the Finnish flag in??

Yeh good crowd and the opening League meeting seemed to be quite competitive too! Despite the team championship being down to just 4 clubs hopefully they will each have a bit more strength in depth and it will make for closer racing and the title will go right down to the wire. Also good to see the feature in the fantastic SPEEDWAY SANOMAT magazine about the Finnish microspeedway project! With it up and running I feel it is definitely a step in the right direction. Who knows this season might just herald a revival in speedway in the land of the lakkahillo!! Kiitos for the results update F-S-P

Many thanks GW for taking the trouble to answer all my questions so thoroughly and with many interesting opinions Lets hope Smederna can come through their difficulties and have a secure long term future! Thanks for all the tips on visiting tracks in Sweden!! By the best track I was meaning for atmosphere and quality of racing...and also best track shop!!

Question(s) for Ghostwalker! How are the levels of support in Swedish Leagues this season compared with 2008? Are some clubs still experiencing big financial problems and is there any signs of improvement in this area? How are things with the 2 Stockholm clubs? has Getingarna's return been successful and can Hammarby ever return to Elitserien level in future?? Which is best track in Sweden to watch a speedway meeting? Can Smederna survive in the long term as surely Eskilstuna is a true speedway town? Does the TV coverage still get good viewing figures and will TV contract be renewed? Will the crowd for Goteborg SGP be above 20,000 mark? Why can't Sweden support it's own Speedway magazine ? Hope you won't mind all these questions GW but as our resident Swedish 'expert' I would be interested in your answers! Tak

Does anyone know when tickets for this will go on sale and who will be selling them?? Thank you.
