Personally i would also replace Gbg with Stockholm, however i think Ullevi stll have a few years remaining on their contract. since its SPGP is more about money then quality of racing, i wouldn't be too surprised if they moved Målilla to Stockholm.

Nikolai Krasnikov apparently have announced his retirement from Ice racing according to the article below. He says that he doesn't feel the same motivation any longer. ¨http://www.unt.se/sport/mastaren-lagger-av-efter-guldet-pa-studan-1709980.aspx

Janowski or big brother Pawlicki. for the Polish Grand Prixs.

imo good result for Henderson so far.

with the signing of Oliver, Smederna can put this team on the track: Magnus Zetterström 2,229 Linus Eklöf 1,635 Kenni Larsen 1,914 Ricky Kling 1,595 Peter Karlsson 2,176 Oliver Berntzon 1,16 Rasmus Broberg 0,5 total average: 11,209 Yeah i agree but i also would like to claim that two new teams (Smederna and Gnistorna) as well as the guestrider system are two other factors that have contributed to the increase of the spectator sizes.

Smederna have signed Oliver Berntzon. http://ekuriren.se/sport/speedway/1.1390044-smederna-varvar-vispen-berntzon

Smederna have started a mechanic school for kids, the idea is to learn the kids, that are active in speedway, how to take care of their speedway bike. The full story (in Swedish) can be read here: http://www.ikarossme...ews&newsid=2179

The Allsvenskan fixture list have been updated with the new schedule.

Smederna and their sponsor today announced that they will continue to work together. The Deal is for 1+1 year. http://www.ikarossmederna.nu/?page=news&newsid=2178

Article about the the new track that is being built just outside Visby, at Hejdeby on Gotland. The aim/hope is to have the 80cc track ready for the summer and with this be able to keep the club alive. The space that Bysarna's old track called Galgberget (Swedish equivalent of Gallows Hill) was built on, was "needed" for a new residential area ( if i remeber. Currently Bysarna cannot afford to build a new 500cc track as well since its costs an additional 800'000 to 1'000'000 GBP. Hopefully one day we will get to see 500cc bikes roaring around as well. http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=94&artikel=5005257

latest news is that Patrik is very bruised but nothing is broken.

A preview video by Smederna's official photographer:

yes, quite interesting that Hammarby's ice racing meeting attracted a bigger crowd then their speedway team. Although the speedway team has allot more meetings per season so i guess that it is not a fair comparison. Anyway i hope that the final at Eskilstuna in 3 weeks will be just as popular.

Saturday March 3rd at Eskilstuna ice stadium. This is the new date/location for the Swedish ice racing championship. https://twitter.com/#!/FolketSport

there are 5 clubs that are interested in hosting the swedish championship. Smederna in Eskilstuna are one of them. A decision is expected in next week.

at Hejdeby, situated just outside Visby on Gotland, a new track is being constructed. Here is the latest images from the construction: http://www.svenskalag.se/galleries_show.asp?teamID=1227&TeamGalleryID=14655

Good news. Imo speedway in general would likely benefit from an increased awareness and interest in the states. I also think its a good idea to bring in people like Hamill. Well know names (especially former world champions) usually brings some extra weight behind a project like this. We have a similar thing going on in Sweden in rallying.
