  1. The league will restart on 11 August. In the press release it says that they are planning on and working on a financial solution that will allow them to run the league without spectators even though spectators to some extent might be allowed once the league starts. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/xekkakb7p-21mi1/bauhaus-ligan-startar-11-e-augusti
  2. I doubt the TV-money will be enough to cover the costs. Speedway isn't football or icehockey.
  3. Latest runout is re-start in August for Elitserien but with 6-rider line ups and no spectators. I don't really understand how they are going to be able to make it financially viable without spectators. Teams outta bleed money like crazy in such case. Https://live.aftonbladet.se/supernytt-sport/news/5edbbe291f2ecd0018e0e2b9
  4. Elitserien (Bauhausligan) might be doubtful but I think Allsvenskan and Div 1 might be able to put some meetings in. Youth series will re-start next weekend.
  5. Elit Vetlanda - Smederna 2017 final 2nd leg. Smederna 8p down after first leg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVouJ2XxSG0
  6. Indianerana - Smedernna 2013 QF second leg, some really good speedway. Especially heat 13. https://youtu.be/BJqKINHD964
  7. The government announced that practices, knock out tournaments (cups) and regular games/meetings will be allowed from 14th June But the restriction of more than 50 people will remain in place.
  8. The street adress of the track was Gema-Kjells väg which doesn't seem to exist anymore (doesn't show up on Google maps, eniro maps, hitta, here wego.....) but I think I found the former location of the road and the track on Open Street Maps. https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Gema-Kjells väg#map=19/57.70181/11.86429 Transferred too google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/57°42'05.2"N+11°51'47.0"E/@57.7014418,11.8608573,815m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d57.7014389!4d11.863046 A large logistics warehouse so close to the port IMO seems like a reasonable choice compared to an old speedway track. There is however a folkrace track and a go cart track about 4-5 km north west of the old Arendal track which is an area that might be suitable for a speedway track. Sort of to put all motorsport in the same place (pretty much like it is in Eskilstuna) rather then having it dotted here and there.
  9. Track has been demolished afaik, note sure if anything has been built on the site yet or if it still is used by NCC as storage for construction materials.
  10. No elite speedway in June and postponed indefinitely. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/n26gaka6u-21mi1/inga-speedwaymatcher-i-bauhaus-ligan-under-juni-manad
  11. Jerker Eriksson is sceptic about Swedish Elitserien resuming this year. He also says that in his opinion Swedish speedway shouldn't push too hard about restarting. He says that people's health is the most important and that many people have lost their jobs. https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/7472645
  12. According to Dackarna's chairman Thomas Karlsson Elitserien will not start on 2 June. The clubs will have a new meeting on Monday and a new decisions or an announcement is expected on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thomas say he expects that there won't be any speedway in Sweden for entire June. https://vimmerbytidning.se/nyheter/artikel/da-kommer-det-nytt-besked-om-speedwaysasongen/
  13. Antonio Lindbäck have broken his contract with Masarna (to circumvent starting permit ban for Poland). https://www.masarna.nu/artikel/5tydak9wg-33661/antonio-lindback-bryter-sitt-kontrakt-med-masarna https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/8243/lindbacks-masarna-deal-terminated
  14. Doesn't matter though. DMU like Svemo and the Russians have blocked their riders from riding in Poland.
  15. The Polish federation doing as they want again giving the middle finger to the rest of the speedway world. I remember all the buzz when Darcy was over the limit but was allowed to continue racing until several weeks later causing arguments about team points and averages. He has been proven guilty already and should be suspende because otherwise every rider will do the same and claim TEU (get away with doping).
  16. Link: https://sport.tv2.dk/motorsport/2020-04-30-dansk-europamester-vil-blive-haardt-ramt-af-massiv-loennedgang Basically he saying the same as I wrote a couple of days ago, that it's hard to break up your home and move your family to another country even though it wouldn't matter to him as he already is living in Poland.
  17. Svemo just announced that all previously approved permits for Swedish riders in Poland have been revoked/declared invalid by Svemo to make sure that the Swedish riders will be available in Sweden if/when the Swedish league season starts. This only applies as long as the borders are closed/quarantine is needed. If/when travel restrictions within Europe are being lifted the Swedish riders will again be allowed to race in Poland. It only applies to riders who contract with a Swedish club to rider in the Swedish leagues. Svemo has taken decision after consulting the Swedish riders and the Swedish clubs. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/Speedway/svenskaspeedwayforaresutfardadestarttillstandipolenogiltigforklaras
  18. How much Family does Freddie have in Andorra (other then Carolina which I assume is coming along to Poland)? He was only going to do Poland + GP anyway so it isn't the same as if Nicki would have moved to Poland he would have to leave his kids and family behind.
  19. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/to8iak99k-21mi1/fler-startalternativ-for-bauhaus-ligan scroll down for English version.
  20. New decision today. All competive motorcycle sport (governed by Svemo) is cancelled until further notice. Training and membership/board meetings are still allowed though. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/forbundsnyheter/nyttbeslutfransvemosstyrelseomattalltavlingsverksamhetinomsvemostallsin?fbclid=IwAR1VwMyM94rowSuDtH1xHCgRk60-D_cyzPTqCzWEAAByfogr5ledNmsq5nA#.XoSgVN4rbX8.facebook
  21. Svemo have issued a ban from riders from other countries coming to Sweden to participate in activities (mainly motocross). Apparently riders from Denmark have ignored the travel ban and travelled to Sweden to participate in activities. The same goes for Swedish riders who are not allowed to leave the country to participate in activities in other countries. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/forbundsnyheter/forbudforforarefrandanmarkochovrigalanderattdeltaiverksamhetisverige?fbclid=IwAR3PearbbqBwURBRkUU3pWQW8lqiy3yw8slJLetdG7PO9bUrfhbWxgEi9aU#.XoMmZhTIPQo.facebook
  22. The Swedish elitserien teams have decided to postpone the start of the season to 2 June (4 weeks) . There will be no quarter finals either. Other changes are an increase of number of transfer cards from 3 to 7 and the average floor limit has been powered to 8.000 from 8.500. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/lfxwak87i-21mi1/framflyttad-sasongsstart-och-nya-regler-i-bauhaus-ligan-i-speedway
  23. There might be an announcements on Thursday on how the clubs aim to handle the Covid-19 situation. https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=86&artikel=7437052
  24. No decision yet on how to handle the Covid-19 situation except that there won't be meetings run without spectators. Problems mentioned are also quarantine of riders / people that traveöl between countries. A rider cannot go ride in different countries if they have to spend a week in quarantine each time. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/p8omak806-21mi1/ess-vi-kommer-inte-att-kora-utan-publik
