"Igår hände det vi många hoppats på! Ikaros Smederna besegrade Rospiggarna och är klara för Elitserien år 2013."
Yesterday it happened that many of us had hoped for. Smederna defeated Rospiggarna and are qualified* for Elitserien in 2013
"Det var en laginsats som gjorde att Ikaros Smederna är tillbaka i svensk speedways "finrum".
Alla förare levererade och nu väntar ett hårt arbete för föreningen att se framemot.."
It was a team effort that brought Smederna back intospeedway's finest room.
All riders delivered and the club now have a hard work to look forward to.
* its not really the exact translation but I couldn't come up with a better one at the moment.
Judging by various statements on their website (see above) and twitter as well as the jerseys.
It seems that they've already made the decision to step up.
Its a very tough job no matter what league you are in.
If you go to Elitserien it will cost much much more then Elitserien and it requires more sponsors and spectators.
However with the new rules for Elitserien and Allsvenskan, staying in Allsvenskan might risk
getting your team drained on good Swedish riders, like Berntzon, Kling, Eklöf as the Elitserien
teams needs to have one additional Swedish rider next year.
btw found a picture at Tarabanko's twitter. Who's the guy to the left?
The guy on the right on the other hand is Zetters, forum member and one of Smederna's two announcers.
