  1. Wow excellent enlightning info thank you very much. OK let's settle the pronunciation matter...anyone listening to the Polish commentary please let us know how they pronounce his name.
  2. Vargarna-Dackarna now slated to start at 7pm
  3. Ghostwalker, or any one else who may know, when will the rained off matches be likely restaged? Do Swedish tracks have pretty much any choice of alternative race day? Do they have to restage as soon as possible within a stipulated timeframe? Will they get a much lower crowd or the usual numbers? What is the meaning of life?...OK that last a question too far lol. UPDATE Just seen that the Hammarby-Ikaros Smederna fixture has been primarily rescheduled for Monday12th August Heat 3 was a good one indeed.
  4. Are you getting to watch your delectable Polish lady in the studio Alan or do you have a static shot of the track whilst waiting for the meeting to start? Actually it's Swedish based coverage so you might not be seeing her tonight?
  5. Yayyyy good start to the evening as Bradley Manning just found not guilty (was so going to fall out with my American friends if not lol) anyway that's for another section of the forum i guess, AND we see a fair crowd at the Vastervik track. I keep forgetting when looking for weather radar and forecasts to zoom in on that Ghostwalker has a map available on the first page of his Swedish section pinpointing the exact location of the tracks. Ok just went and nabbed it http://www.mediafire...zoxknxrk3eaq1nk Just realized it's Google Earth and not maps but for those who have Google Earth it takes 0 seconds to download! And it was an instant download approve. Cool music in background at the track 'All Right Now' by Free one of the all time great songs.
  6. Ooops i thought the page i linked to had radar as well further down but didn't scroll to see. I just grabbed it quickly out of my list of links when i saw the radar was for all of Sweden. I've only just got home and was rushing, thanks for the CURRENT info. Dave when you get here, did you not get to send out the updated racecard this morning?. Although fortunately it's only rider replacement and not wholesale team changes mind
  7. Two forecasts for Vasterik specifically side by side http://www.vackertvader.se/v%C3%A4stervik/yr-vs-fmi/alla both look ok all depends on the state of the track i guess. Might not be a good crowd either now.
  8. It's usually always one hour later but nobody seems to have told Eurosport as i've checked several tv listings and they all have it down as a 6pm start (ending at 9pm). Scott Nicholls and his co-host are going to have to chinwag for a good hour extra ahead of the meeting lol. Superbikes qualifying is scheduled for 9pm and don't they give that preference over Speedway? eeeeek!
  9. Nice to see that on 7th August Esbjerg have got free admission to their match against Slangerup. Unfortunately we won't get to witness what hopefully will be a large crowd as the TV match is Grindsted-Fjelsted. Anyone know if this free admission has been done before at either Esbjerg or another Danish club?. If so did they do a Lakeside and have the place packed out or is the club like some of those in Sweden and in the middle of a forest so that even as a freebie it's hard to fill the place?
  10. Keep us posted i had forgot about the streams. I can handle two meetings at once, i eat 4 weetabix at a time.
  11. In the US Nascar fans have massive camper vans and motor homes with deckchairs on top of them to watch the racing from the infield Lots of food, beer and not sure what causes it but vehicles rocking during the racing. Admittedly like most things in America their infields are bigger than ours but yes it does block the view of the other side of the track for fans seated lower in the stands.
  12. You do know that decades and decades later 'Tufty' is about to be outed and arrested Saville style lol lol.
  13. Yeah it's confirmed in a few places now. Maybe they think it's best being able to use Hans Andersen up to seven times at reserve? Newly amended racecard in place so long as they don't change their mind...'nervous' lol. TV meeting racecard AVAILABLE NOW FREE MiniMax Racecard Elitserien Vastervik Vs Elit Vetlanda Tuesday, 30th, July, 2013.
  14. Was wondering if Premier Sports might consider showing this meeting but with it being staged on a Friday they'll likely have some sort of ball sports on? Also, we'd need two sets of eyes as the Danish Championship is being staged on the same evening!
  15. Gee they might end up with a stronger team! That's a JOKE Chris Harris fans (of whom i am one by the way). Thanks for that i've just seen it seconded in a local Vastervik newspaper too. Hope they update as soon as possible tomorrow or racecard users will get the full speedway experience of rewriting a programme lol. Oh well at least that will be done at home in the warmth rather than at a windy and freezing cold wall-less and roof-less track out in the cold winds of the UK lol.. Like i say for those who download the racecard from the website i will update the card once anything is confirmed.
  16. Gee amazing timing again this thread wasn't here when i was putting the racecard online and i thought i'd check back as i was logging off the computer, hey Presto! the thread is up and running. Mind you i'm guessing Ghostwalker should be more worried thinking like me than the other way around lol. TV meeting racecard AVAILABLE NOW FREE MiniMax Racecard Elitserien Vastervik Vs Elit Vetlanda Tuesday, 30th, July, 2013. Awww only three weeks of the regular season left now. Ooops, Ghostwalker's comment reminded me that i've just seen Chris Harris getting banged up on TV and forgot he's scheduled for Vastervik. I'd strongly advise not downloading until tomorrow. Don't know if they'll just use rider replacement or juggle the whole team.
  17. Very true and as in all walks of life people tend to find it easier to pick up a pen to complain than praise. There's a great difference being concerned with something and putting forward constructive criticism or asking for an explanation than just griping and insulting. Exactly and if watching on tv and you don't like the commentators, no harm in a passing mention but no need to vilify them at every opportunity. Certainly no matter how much i dislike a commentary style above all i'm enjoying the speedway and hugely pleased at getting to see it on the screen.
  18. Update Monday The Fjelsted site now has a different riding order to the League's site. The latter is usually wrong in most cases so a revised line up has riders 4 and 5 swapping places FJELSTED Peter Kildemand Jason Doyle Hans Andersen Jesper Sogaard Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen Esbjerg not currently showing any changes ESBJERG Artem Laguta Rene Bach Mikkel Bech Jensen Steen Jensen Michael Palm Toft
  19. Maybe there is some animosity from the promoters when in a positive thread about the sport - Birmingham's recent large crowd - out of the blue came this comment (i'll not name the poster as it's just one example of many) "Why dont they give the attendance numbers ? typical Speedway promotion - supermarket carrier bags full of cash and nothing declared to the inland revenue!" I think a lot of promoters display great restraint too be honest.
  20. He's in them all he was given a Wild Card for the SERIES, not a meeting Wild Card.
  21. Teams lined up at the moment for this top two clash are FJELSTED Peter Kildemand Jason Doyle Hans Andersen Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen Jesper Sogaard ESBJERG Artem Laguta Rene Bach Mikkel Bech Jensen (he still has three versions of his name registered in the leagues but that version covers the lot lol) Steen Jensen Michael Palm Toft
  22. Umm it's in surprise suprise lol the International section, currently 12 pages and 177 posts in content. But no worries we all sometimes struggle to decide where to make a post and many seasoned memnbers still post in blatantly the wrong section. But yeah do try International and SGP/SWC threads for such topics. http://www.speedway-...showtopic=72200
  23. Congrats! to yourself and Emil too. Looking forward to Togliatti now. Have a good evening all.
  24. Yessss second will do and surely he had to be expected to beat Puodzuks anyway.
