former Team Bikab and Dackarna manager Jerker Eriksson have accepted the offer to be Valsarnas new Team Manager, http://folket.se/sportfolket/1.923706

Smederna says that they are interested in signing Daniel King if Birmingham's fixtures will allow it. http://folket.se/sportfolket/speedway/1.920813

Västervik have managed to sell the name rights to their track. The new name of the track is Stena Arena. Named after the Stena Group. http://www.nyheterna.net/sporten/nytt_namn_foer_speedwayarena

AS said in first post. In 2011 its mandatory with two Swedish riders in the 7 rider lineup for Elitserien of which one have to be a Swedish U21 rider and that rider. In Allsvenskan there have to be minimum 3 Swedish licensed riders in Allsvenskan lineups one of them has to be a Swedish U21 rider. The u21 riders can only be replaced once per meeting which means that they have minimum three rides/meeting.

A company called Avantia have bought the name right to Vargarna's Allsvenskan team Ulvarna. Ulvarna will therefore change name to Avantia Speedway. http://www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?ArticleID=6539243

Adam Shields have signed with Västervik which means that one rider in their squad have to be removed. http://www.wmsk.se/speedway/Lokala_Nyheter.aspx?id=2432

the Venue will be G&B Arena in Målilla again but currently no decisions have been taken about what weekend it will be held on. However i would guess that it will be sometine during the second half of the summer? information will be available at this website http://www.speedwaysm.se/ (it still shows info for 2010).

hmm tigrarna already have three guestriders so i think they need to put him in Tigrarnas squad and then use him as guestrider for Hammarby?

Griparna has been granted a reconstruction and elitlicense by Svemo which means that they will be allowed to participate in Allsvenskan 2011. http://www.svemo.se/ImageVault/Images/id_4610/scope_0/ImageVaultHandler.aspx

@ Jacqueline Henderson is spelled with one S

first practice at Brovallen in Avesta:

not a request but a recommendation: Daniel Henderson and Lars Daniel Gunnestad

Jimmy does not ride any longer, he is now Team Manager for Ikaros Smederna in the Swedish Allsvenskan league.

found it:. Fixtures for 2011: http://www.speedway-...dpost&p=1806261 (scroll down) http://www.aktuellsp...php?id=1&s=2011

the fixtures Elitserien 2011 have been released but i only have info about the first round so far: May 3rd: Vargarna-Västervik Vetlanda-Piraterna Indianerna-Dackarna Lejonen-Hammarby Allsvenskan and div1 fixtures are delayed due to the uncertain whereabouts of Griparna.,

Simon Gustafsson have signed with Rospiggarna as a guestrider: http://avestatidning.com/nyheter/speedway/1.1034048-gustafsson-gastforare-i-rospiggarna

Västervik's Team Manager says that Adams Shields is interesting for Västervik but they have not discussed a contract yet. http://www.vt.se/sport/speedway/artikel.aspx?articleid=5687252

no news yet that i know of. However i would guess that maybe Västervik or Hammarby could be interested.

and Jonas M and Linus Lydin have signed as guestriders with Tigrarna

its 7 riders/meeting and maximum 2 guestriders/meeting. and i also agree with f-s-p Svemo hasn't really been that good lately. Regarding their independence well the teams have an association of their own and this association is behind many of the suggestions/changes that we see even if Svemo are the ones that, in the end, takes the decision.
