  1. The draw will be made at 16.00 Swedish time (15,00/3pm BST). Read a claim that about 22'000 tickers are sold so far which is about 2/3 of the capacity,
  2. yes there will. The tickets are sold at the box office (Biljettkassa) at Entrance A. The box office will open at 14.00 Swedish time. arena map: http://friendsarena..../Arenaoversikt/ There will be extra buses to the arena: Extra SL-buses Bus #101 from Mörby station to Friends Arena (Evenemangsgatan) Bus #102 from Sundbyberg station to Friends Arena (Evenemangsgatan) for more info goto sl.se event newsletter: http://translate.goo...39&e=63e49e9edc
  3. Perhaps for you but not for me. For me the racing is not all that matters, of course its important but there is other things that also are important. I just don't want to spend 3½ hours travelling to Målilla by car and then 3½ hours back home a just a few hours later. Public transport means over a 5 hour journey which is even less desirable. I usually like to spend some time in the area when going to a Grand Prix but the Målilla areas is totally uninteresting and to sparsely populated area. Small villages and few smaller towns but not really anything to see and do except for the GP. A 7+ hour journey for 23 minutes of action? No thanks. Also the weather in Målilla is to unreliable, the Småland highlands are in general more rain prone then the area around Stockholm. Also in Stockholm even if the weather is rainy there is lots to do and the stadium got a roof, in Målilla if the weather is bad the racing will be muddy and there is absolutely zero things to do which means that the entire trip would be a waste of time and money. I had originally planned to spend the entire weekend in Stockholm during this weekend but unfortunately it wasn't possible this year. As I said, I think the GPs belong in reasonable big cities rather then in some remote village in the middle of nowhere where there basically is a super market but nothing else. A typical "håla" as we say in Swedish.
  4. That's very good but not as good as Smederna's home leg of the semi final where 6236 attended the meeting. That is the highest attendance this year. Hopefully they will return next year.
  5. year: series: play off. 2009: 3296 : 4708 2010: 2665 : 3933 2011; 2898 : 4342 2012: 2728 : 3290 2013: 2728 : 4392 So attendances have been pretty stable. Numbers from the latest issue of Speedway racing. It varies some from year to year depending on what teams that are in Elitserien. For next season we have changed Hammarby to Rospiggarna and I would think that Rospiggarna will have a higher attendance then Hammarby this year,
  6. It's a small track, even a crowd of 4500-5000 will make it look crowded. No way near Smedernas smashing 8848 from the final vs. Kaparna 10 years ago. Smedernas also had some 6200 this year in the semifinal vs Piraterna.
  7. anyomne got a stream? I decided to buy the official steam but just as last year it bugs out and just gives me an error code.
  8. 20'000 tickets sold already: http://www.dn.se/sport/friends-fylls-med-engelsk-sand/
  9. Meh I don't really care tbh, good venue but totally in the middle of nowhere and extremely boring surroundings if you want to do something else then the GP. Personally there would have been enough with just the Stockholm GP. Grand Prix should should be held in cities not in remote villages in the middle of the forest.
  10. It varies from club to club, mostly depending on who owns the track, the club or the city. I think most clubs that don't own their tracks pays rent to the owner (usually the City/Municipality). Dackarna own their own track and they are the only club that I can remember that have it that way. The only private owned track that I know of is Tallhult in Hagfors which was bought by a private person to save the speedway in Hagfors by making sure that Valsarna have a track. Obviously you just have to look back at the past 10 years to see that many teams have had difficulties and many teams have went bust but have arisen like a Phoenix bird from the ashes of the previous clubs. Allot of this stuff was in my article for Somerset Speedway that I wrote earlier this summer.
  11. I think what you see on Premier sports are not what we see in the Swedish feed. The Swedish feed is more thorough with more cameras, pit interviews, pit cameras and etc., 2 commentators, 2 people in the track side studio and one interviewer in the pits.
  12. Judging by the arena website there will be buses from Solna Station. Not sure what type of buses though. Other public transport option are as following: From Stockholm Central Station: 17.09, Go with commuter train #38 towards Uppsala C, get off at Ulriksdal station, board bus #502 towards Solna Centrum get off at the Arena. From T-centralen 17.20, 17.50, 18.20, Go with subway blue line #11 towards Akalla, get off at Solna Centrum, board bus #505 towards Järvstaden get off at the arena. 17.30 Go with subway blue line #11 towards Akalla, get off at Solna Centrum, board bus #502 towards Ulriksdas station, get off at the arena. You can search connections here: http://reseplanerare...442502&OK#focus Just remember that buses do not accept cash or credit card, only pre-paid tickets or pre-paid travel cards. I think that you might be able to buy tickets at the subway entrances, the tickets you buy there will include the bus. Both the central station and all the stations mentioned above is Zone A. Also a quick reminder about the open meeting at Gubbängen on Friday: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537&st=525#entry2336263
