tomorrow 19.00 really really bad luck for Smederna. When the bus pulled out from the arena access way onto the main road, about 20-25 minutes later after the speaker had announced that it was off, the rain stopped and the sun started to break through behind the advancing rain clouds. Although you can't affect the weather, there was NO public info from Smederna at their website after 1.30p.

Doubtful if Smederna-Masarna can go ahead as planned. It was looking good midday but since around 15-16 in the afternoon, lots of rain have pulled in over the area around western Mälaren. http://www.smhi.se/v...ge-beta-1.16531

yeah, unless he manages top three in the GP challenge.

Apparently decisions about new rules for Elitserien next season have already been taken, although no official statement is available. average cap is lowered to 9,750 /// to low in my opinion, needs to be at least above 10.125 Mandatory U21 is scrapped. ///i think that i would prefer it to stay. It will be mandatory with minimum three Swedes in each lineup . ///nice idea but where these riders come from? Answer is hey will be taken from the teams in Allsvenskan. Its just rumour but it seems that the guestrider system is very unpopular with someone since its rumoured that it will go away. A Very very bad idea and in combination with 3 Swedes per team, this could seriously hurt Allsvenskan.

Valsarna-Dackarna Heat 15

R/R is not allowed when a rider rides in another country so i guess that Woznick or Ricky Kling will replace. Also its for the play off that Smederna wanted Coventry to allow Kenni to ride for us but Cov refused.

Yes i know, i was referring to Coventry/Smederna fixture clash for Kenni Larsen.

A play off would surely take precedence over a regular league meeting (except for Coventry). So i think Iversen will ride for Indianerna.

Indianerna's team manager, Daniel "Dalle" Andersson is very upset about the team that their opponents fielded. " i hope they get demoted says Dalle, " Indianerna won with 68-22, a victory that costed Indianerna £30'000. Hammarby came without their three biggest stars, Gollob, Miedzinski and Walasek. "-I'm very disappointed says Dalle. They shouldn't be allowed to be in Elitserien. I don't know how they are reasoning in their office, its up to them*. Its really bad. I really hope that we get them in the quarter-finals so that we can crush them." * what i think Dalle mean is that he cant answer for Hammarby but that they have to explain it themselves. "- its .... really. We had 3700+ spectators tonight, but it still is not enough. We have 68 points that needs to be paid. I'm sure that its 300'000kr said Dalle. I had a crisis meeting in the interval and Pepe then said that he could pass on his next heat." http://avestatidning.com/nyheter/speedway/1.1776681--hoppas-de-aker-ur-elitserien-

Also nice to see that there were as many as 3000 people in Hagfors tonight. Also, 3000+ in Vetlanda, 2660 in Västervik and a whopping 3700 in Kumla.

Quarterfinals: Dackarna - Västervik, Dackarna chose to have first meeting at home on Tuesday Canal+ sport 2. Indianerna - Hammarby, Indianerna chose to have the first meeting at Hammarby 's track on Tuesday. Canal+ sport 1 Semi-finals Elit Vetlanda - Piraterna- Both Rospiggarna and Smederna have said that they want to take the step up. But if either will if they win who knows. A Play off thread for both Elitserien and Allsvenskan will be made shortly.

stay tuned for play off pairings.

Bad luck for Vargarna. Västervik to play off. 1. Vetlanda 2. Piraterna 3. Dackarna 4. Indianerna 5. Hammarby 6. Västervik 7. Valsarna 8. Vargarna However Vargarna can still stay in Elitserien if, any team drops out, any team is forced out or if the winner of Allsvenskan do not want to step up. yeah i agree 120%

Valsarna won with 7p. Which means Vargarna to Allsvenskan. unless Västervik gets 3p.

Harris Red gate 1, Jdz Blue gate 3. white Pawlicki gate 2, Greg yellow gate 4

no coin toss. home team can pick. Västervik will pick 1/3.

Great heat. And Ljung lost his dragshoe before the start.,

Vetlanda behaving very poorly. Deciding the bottom fight by not doing their best. There is NO WAY that Vargarna could be only 2p behind if Vetlanda does their best.

Not sure what Vetlanda are doing. Only 4p ahead of Vargarna and only 1p from Emil on 3 heats.

well no need to do a TT then. A reserve can replace any rider whenever. except with the three mandatory heats for U21 riders.

Valsarna needs to win with 7p to avoid relegation if Västervik wins with at least 3p. Also depends how many points Vargarna will loose in the second half of the meeting. The results from the previous meetings between the teams: Dackarna-Valsarna 48-42 Piraterna-Västervik 46-44 Vargarna- Elit Vetlanda 40-50

seems that i was wrong. Valsarna still at last place.

I don't really like that a rider that does a TT can be replaced with a reserve since the whole things looses its meaning.
