Race card for tomorrows meeting: http://www.mediafire.com/view/60cdv4nnxjjvd6j/ES.R10.Varg-Ham.pdf Looks like sh* but excel is really awful to use compared to Open Office that I normally use.

I think PK is doubtful for SWC following his crash yesterday.

Emil have made clear that he will focus on Russia for the reminder of the season and will not ride any more for Indianerna. Indianerna will meet with a lawyer to decide how they are going to deal with the situation. Indianerna (understandable) considers Emil to have made himself guilty to breach of contract. http://na.se/sporten/speedway/1.2135149-efter-nytt-mote-stjarnan-anmals

I agree with you and I think it is a good suggestion. However try to find available dates in an already packed schedule. Especially with the EL have a meeting almost every day from March to October. Add to that GP's, GP-qualification, World U21's, Swedish, Polish and Danish league meetings... Judging by this forum there are already allot of complain that other racing infringes on the EL.

Oh dear more "drama" in Swedish speedway. Before the season an agreement was reached that every lineup have to have three Swedes. The thing is though that now, Smederna, Västervik and Dackarna all have their best Swede injured. These teams initially all had planned to use R/R for the injured rider. However apparently there was a meeting on Monday this week where some teams voiced their opinion that only Swedish rider are to be allowed to take R/R heats when R/R is used for an injured Swedish rider. It seems that Hammarby, Indianerna and Vargarna are the teams that wants to have it like this. After this meeting Smederna and Dackarna changed their plan and decided not to use R/R while Västervik went ahead and used R/R for Nermark. Previous years there have not been any problem with using non Swedish riders in R/R heats for an injured Swedish rider despite that there have been minimum quotas for a few years now. So the question is why did this suddenly become a problem? http://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=179&grupp=7514&artikel=5582664 Well that was the plan, but for some reason Emil and/or his manager is really p*ssed at Indianerna for some reason. Emil requested to be excused for one meeting which Indianerna accepted and brought in Holta. Holta did well and was given a new chance which left Emil outside the team for another meeting and since Emil and/or his manager does not even talk to Indianerna and riding for them is out of the question. Also have in mind that Indianerna paid Emil allot of sign.on money (some 600'000 SEK is rumoured) so I would guess that if Emil continues the boycott he could probably expect that Indianerna will try to force him to re-pay the money.

Kenni is expected to undergo surgery on Friday after which he will be wearing a plaster for 6 weeks so Smederna are looking to replace him as soon as possible. The club have already talked to Emil S but no surprise, he wasn't interested in anything. If one are to speculate, maybe someone like Kasprzak could be of interest, fairly low average (1,379) but a high capacity. The replacing rider have to have an average that is lower then 1,735. Woffinden would be a good reinforcement for any team but he have said that he are interested this year, especially not with his GP success in mind since he don't want change his season plan. Then there's trio of good but quite "Unteamish" riders; Gollob, Zagar and Bjerre. They'd probably would ask the same kind of money as riders like Nicki and Greg H. Indianerna are also, most likely, looking to replace Emil as he doesn't seems to bother on riding for Indianerna anymore.

There is a rumour that Hammarby will bring in Kenneth Bjerre in the transfer window.

I don't know, just a bad night I think, no crash though and he wasn't that hot at Parken GP either.

I'd say that Smederna, Indianerna, Dackarna, and Vetlanda probably are on the safe side. Piraterna and Västervik are on the limit and Hammarby and Vargarna need more.

To be honest, crowds are a bit too small if you look at all tracks and do an average of it.

Then there will be extra heat(s) to determine the bonus.

Well during the days when Billy Hamill still rode for Smederna, Smederna made used Billy to do a radio commercial in which he was tricked into saying, come see Smederna versus Rospiggarna, you know "the Pigs". Smederna had him believe that we say that all the time but of course we don't.

Valsarna is taken from the former valsverket (rolling plant) in Hagfors. Rospiggarna is a designation of someone living in the coast area of the Uppland province, this coastal area is known as Roslagen which have given Sweden its Finiish name Routsi. Örnarna - the Eagles (Radio)Piraterna . The Pirates taken from the expression Motala Piraterna: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlunda_radio_transmitter Gnistorna - the sparks. Griparna - the Griffins, the Griffin is a symbol for many provinces including Södermanland. Yeah there have been several teams in Stockholm, Gamarna, Eldarna, Getingarna and now Hammarby, Also a good effort from Smederna have resulted in a huge defeat but a secured aggregated bonus.

I can give you a short explanation: Ikaros Smederna, Ikaros is the title sponsor, Smederna means the smiths taken from Eskilstuna's legacy as a Smithting town. Västervik/Skepparna, Västervik is the name of the city. Skepperna means something the shippers. Indianerna is the Indians Vargarna is the Wolves Vetlanda is the name of the Town and Elit is the name sponsor. Hammarby is a name of a city area in Stockholm and it is also the name several clubs in Stockholm. Hammarby is a common locality name in Sweden.

No no no way you're both way wrong. Dackarna was another name for the people who lived in Småland and supported the rebel named Nils Dacke. So Dackarna pretty much means the Dacke rebels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Dacke

Nope, weather is supposed to be sunny in Motala. Dave is "logged in" on twitter though.

nw42, Swedish Elitserien always starts at 19.10 Swedish time. also pm sent. Also Smederna makes some changes. Eklöf will replace Jonsson as nr2 and they will use R/R for Kenni.
