Yeah Stefan Klemetz is a veteran motorsport commentator who works/has worked as motorsport commentator for SVT and C-more. He knows allot about speedway but I think he would need an expert to join him and they should obviously be on location at the track with a reporter doing interviews.

no that is not possible. Heat 13 is the last heat in which you use tac-sub.

Smederna had almost the same amount of spectators as the other three meetings combined, 5431 vs, 6031. However, I do think to an extent that Vetlanda and Västervik might steal some spectators of each other.

Yeah, there is lots of complaint on their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pg/speedwayplay/reviews/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/speedwayplay/community/?ref=page_internal I didn't watch this any of the meetings (neither stream or on location since I have an exam tomorrow) so I don't know myself yet if it was good or bad.

Reserves only have 3 scheduled heats now and they have to ride in all of them.

ok, I had missed it when updating the post. It is 8 points since last season.

The first transfer window opens on 30 May and closes on 7 June which means that Lejonen have to wait until then.

It is 8 points behind for tactical substitutes.

Nicki P will not ride tomorrow.

well, at what position/team would you put him then?

Also weather forecasts looks good, warm and mostly sunny weather expected for at-least a couple of days forward.

The spring is here and so is the speedway season. The teams have been announced (that always happens at 21.00 CET on Sundays (two days before the meeting)). The big difference this season is that the heat schedule have been changed. The second reserve heat have been scrapped and replaced by an extra nomination heat. This means that the remaining three regular heats have been re-numbered to 11,12, 13 instead of 12,13,14. Someone came up with the not so brilliant idea to adopt the British style with gate draw. The new heat schedule looks like this: http://www.svemo.se/ImageVaultFiles/id_14025/cf_44/K-rschema_2-15.PDF There is also no televised meetings in Sweden this year (but still shown on tv in the UK and Poland). It will be live on speedwayplay.com only in Sweden. I don't know if this is available outside Sweden.

It seems that http://metalspeedwayleague.dk/forside.aspx will have som sort of live update from tonight's meetings.

I have seen rumors that it will be Västervik - Indianerna but afaik it's not confirmed.

The first ever Swedish 250cc league meeting was held two days ago. https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionHeatSchema.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Season=2018&Serie=250cc Serien &Resultfilter=APPROVED&Columns=FromDateShort,Name,HeatSchema,HeatResult&pagesize=20&CompetitionId=9545 https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionHeatResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Season=2018&Serie=250cc Serien &Resultfilter=APPROVED&Columns=FromDateShort,Name,HeatSchema,HeatResult&pagesize=20&CompetitionId=9545&ShowAll=true

The rulebook for 2018 was published a while ago http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Regler/ Apparently, Allsvenskan will use the old heat schedule while Elitserien uses the new one. Another thing that I didn't know of is that there apparently will be a UK-style "toss" to decide which teams goes from which gates. To be honest I really dislike the new schedule. They should have kept the second reserve heat and made it mandatory for each reserve to ride in all of their 4 scheduled heats. So now it is: "5.8.5 Körschema för Elitserien (2.15.7-Elit). Heat Gate 1/2 2/1 3/4 4/3 1 B2 V1 R1 G2 2 G7 R6 V6 B7 3 R3 V3 B4 G4 4 V5 B5 G7 R6 --------Grading-------- 5 B7 G4 R2 V6 6 G2 R3 V1 B4 7 G4 R1 V3 B2 --------Grading------- 8 B4 G7 R3 V5 9 B5 G2 R6 V1 10 V6 B7 G5 R1 ---Grading & Interval--- 11 V3 B4 G2 R5 12 V1 B2 G4 R3 13 R1 G5 B5 V3 --------Grading-------- 14 V/R V/R G/B G/B 15 R/V R/V B/G B/G"

Jarek Hampel have apparently reached an agreement with Lejonen to ride for them. http://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/21216/efter-tolv-ar-i-vetlanda-hampel-klar-for-ny-elitserieklubb/

1 meeting/round will have 5 cameras. The other 3 meetings will only have 1 camera. http://eskilstunasmederna.se/speedwayplay-com-klubbarnas-egna-kanal/

I fon't have the link at the moment but from what I've read. There will be one of the meetings each round that will a 5 camera production while other three meetings while the others will have fewer cameras. I assume that the 5-camera meeting will be the one showed on Premier sports/Freesports(?).

I don't know for payment methods. I would assume bank/credit cards would be one of them. You can change language in you account settings, click the three horizontal bars in the lower left corner.

There will be no live speedway on tv, only on speedway play. It will be a subscription service for either 149 SEK (~12.6GBP) /month or 99 SEK (~8.4GBP)/ day. There is no information whether or not this is geo blocked outside Sweden. https://www.speedwayplay.com/elitspeedway/posts https://www.speedwayplay.com/elitspeedway http://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/20601/klart-sa-sands-elitserien-i-speedway-alla-matcher-visas/

You tell me? As far as I can see there is no need for umbrella girls in motorsport. They do not add anything other then embarrassment. In F1, from what I have read, the original use was for them to hold umbrellas to shield the drivers from sun or rain. F1 have come to the conclusion that such service is no longer required. The only "use" the umbrella girls have in speedway is eye candy for old men and teenage boys i.e. no real use at all. I have yet to see a valid argument regarding what the umbrella girls add to a speedway meeting. We don't have them in the Swedish leagues and we do just fine without them. Our spectators comes to the meeting to watch speedway racing not umbrella girls.

Another crazy idea would be to stop using grid girls. There is absolutely no need to still have them. Grid girls are a thing of the past and isn't something that should be present in 21st century motorsport events.
