Hey Ghostwalker it's an excellent service thanks for it. my question should have read do you still update/maintain it. People will often complain about something speedily and in numbers but rarely take the effort to express thanks and praise. I have to use my main tv for Premier Sports and the speedway as it's not available on SkyGo. No problem though i'll use SkyGo for Man U and once the speedway is over go to the interactive that lets me see the other 7 CL matches lol. I so wish my mum had gone out with an octopus, maybe i would have been born with eight pairs of eyes and ears. I'd be very popular with the ladies if.........ok i'll self censor that thought lol.

Also it did forecast that it would be dry during the evening. Do you still have your Google Earth page for Swedish tracks? If so have you thought about adding weather and specifically radar links for each track? There are several very good free radar services available to link to. Oh yeah without wishing to flog you to death overworking, whilst you are at it add local media links too lol....ok i too lazy to compile them myself lol. Nooooo none we are waiting for you to tell us lol. Awww this delay means i'm not going to be able to give 100% concentration to Man United in the Champions League. Ok Dave there was too long a gap in the commentary there you need to start singing or something to entertain us! Second thought update Don't as it may have a sudden and immediate detrimental effect on your viewing figures.

Wow well rainsodden track on first sighting. Maybe during this season riders should have had a spare ice speedway bike with the spikes at hand. Lol lol spoken like a true speedway fan lol.

Very welcome and thank you for the thanks lol. Wiziwig has another link but that will be in Polish too. Wiziwig is usually very good for speedway streams. Fortunately i'm in the UK so can subscribe to Premier Sports and watch in on the biggggggg tv screen. Yeah last time i checked it at lunchtime it was forecast but nothing too threatening for the meeting as such? So no 96702 then? Are they broadcasting something else now?

Regarding tonight's match i've found "Dackarnas solution is to run the rider replacement for Dudek - all drivers except Darcy Ward share the Pole's heat". And for Piraterna "Linus Sundstrom, who was the Deciding Factor in Målilla last week, has Incurred a concussion and will not run. Probably choose pirates Running riders for him, with the result That Greg Hancock and Chris Holder can not run his race."

Valsarna have just accepted their relegation to the Allsvenskan On the bright side it leaves them on a firmer financial footing and keeps the club in business.

Yeah indeed ditto regarding updating the MiniMax racecard too. I was dubious about Tai starting and even checked his Twitter account (i'm not a Twitter or Facebook person lol). UPDATE Several sources now confirming the new line-ups including the Dackarna official site. In case of any further late changes or team reshuffles the racecard wil be amended further this afternoon, so download when you think best. It's not a speedway thing to moan about as football teams only declare their sides an hour or so before a game. Also, it is due to a batch of injuries and even the Swedish press is referring to 'chaos' regards the line-ups. AVAILABLE NOW MiniMax Racecards - Swedish Play Offs Semi-Final 2nd Leg, PIRATERNA Vs.DACKARNA (WEDNESDAY) http://speedway.manc.../racecards.html Normally in speedway, in contrast to other sports, a close first leg would result in a romp and big win for the home team in the second leg. However, i was reading the other day a rider saying that Dackarna ride their opponents track as good as their own. Coupling that with the way away sides have had great results in the Elitserien this season and it's fingers crossed that we do get a good match.

It may be this article i referred to in a post in a different thread back in June... A lot of pertinent points in this translated article http://www.nyheterna...slaar-till-igen With a gravedigger thrift pulls speedwayens sovereignty back and do the most to bury the origin and the real with the speedway.Country resort and permanent speedway stadiums. The latest is that the World Cup organizer, BSI, is set to the new National Stadium in Stockholm. Cheating and mutbygget Friends Arena in Solna. Somehow it feels like BSI has come to the right ...Up in the capital, cheering, of course, so-called experts and other speedway fans. And with the new organization, SSI, sitting Board and rubs his hands. We remember very well the proposed SSI came with a few months ago, to arrange league matches at Friends Arena. Even fyrlagsmatcher. Law Dackarna, Vetlanda and the pirates would have to run their home games in Stockholm.Talk about stupid proposal and that rural clubs are fighting against stupidity. clubs said no, and could say no to this proposal from SSI. But the BSI can not clubs or SSI do so much. And SSI will NOT do anything but stand with hat in hand and welcomes Paul Bellamy, Managing Director of BSI Speedway. SSI is on the same wavelength as BSI - the speedway to run in the big cities.Well, the Premier League and Division 1 may safely provinces get to keep. There's not much money to squeeze out. I personally think that both SSI and BSI are on a short track. It is clear that there will be GP races in Sweden next year in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Målilla get a pat on the shoulder and thanks for the interest. What the genuine speedway audience thinks rubbishs both SSI and BSI in. The big cities draws VIP fans, but certainly not the large audience that BSI fantasize about. 13 000 saw the GP race in Gothenburg for a few weeks ago, despite the good weather. As many looks GP races in Målilla. Guess which stadium is by far the highest mood? Any facility that does not leave a single spectator unmoved? A half empty or fulsatt Ullevi stadium in Målilla? And how will it feel with 15,000 at Friends Arena - which enroll 50,000 people? desolate is probably only the first name. I'm pretty sure that Målilla only need to sit out the next year before the BSI realizes that Booth is incredibly empty without G & B Arena in the GP series. It becomes Gothenburg receiving step back. Now, if we dare to be sure of anything when BSI or SSI involved.

Put the racecard online for Wednesday's second semi-final. Rider replacement has been reported for Linus Sundstrom and one presumes the same for Patryk Dudek. Only seeing one report indicating he will ride! "Dackarna with damaged Patryk Dudek and Tai Woffinden and pirates lacks Linus Sundstrom." but most reports say he is still in hospital. Really should go without saying but a reminder that it may be worth waiting as long as you are able to in case of any late changes or team reshuffles which will be amended to the racecard. AVAILABLE NOW MiniMax Racecards - Swedish Play Offs Semi-Final 2nd Leg, PIRATERNA Vs.DACKARNA (WEDNESDAY) http://speedway.manc.../racecards.html

It's been confirmed that as expected Piraterna are indeed running rider replacement for Linus Sundstrom.

Heat 15 nothing to write home about. Off to watch the Champions League myself, deciding whether to watch all 8 matches at once courtesy of Sky's interactive service or two matches with Goal Alert switching to any matches when goals are scored. The modern man is truly spoilt when it comes to watching sports. We've had quite a few multi-screen speedway matches recently too with our international fare. Incidentally, i'll put tomorrow's racecard online in a few hours once i've had a good scour of local news and sports feeds in Sweden, Poland and Timbuctoo! If as may be likely there are late changes during tomorrow i will of course amend the card.

Guess Elit Vetlanda chose the path of least resistance!

Not even if Lindback and/or Andersen begin to ride to their potential to join the scoring Iversen, Holta and Kylmakorpi? Mind you taking another look at the Vetlanda line-up it does seem a tall order lol. Crump, Sayfutdinov, Hampel with Madsen and Ruud scoring well too!

Oh Antonio 0 and 0 Thankfully in the Elitserien we don't have teams trailing on the day able to go for double points and heavily affect the two-leg score. Left him in his wake again in heat 7.

That was my point lol as in hopefully it might go down to the later heats, we shall see. What do you reckon of the crowd size Ghostwalker, has the rain potential affected it or is it a case of it what it is?.

OK Madsen showed them all you can pass tonight so no excuses The previous regular season result of this fixture was an 8 point home win for Elit Vetland 49-41 in May.

With the meeting about to start i'll just bump the fact that the MiniMax racecard is available. AVAILABLE NOW MiniMax Racecards - Swedish Play Offs Semi-Final 2nd Leg, ELIT VETLANDA Vs. INDIANERNA (TUESDAY) http://speedway.manc.../racecards.html

Apparently they are appealing the appeal and have two weeks to do so, can you confirm this? They are quoting that it's only on a single matter which is to do with the processing of paperwork and unknown to them something wasn't handed in in time. I only briefly read a news article so i'm not sure.

I'll hold back the provisional Wednesday racecard until tomorrow or in a few hours time once i've trawled the news wires a little more. Just a little surprised at Patryk Dudek being listed when on Sunday evening it was reported that; "Patryk Dudek unfortunate crashed earlier tonight in the match between Stal Gorzow and his Stelmet Falubaz Zielona Gora. Dudek decided to go to the hospital for further investigation. The doctors announced that two ribs are probably broken and he sustained a hematoma on the liver." Also today in Poland a further news release; "Unfortunately for Patrick Dudek ended with Sunday's derby Lubuskie in Gorzow. "Duzers" in his second race fell on the track and was transported to the hospital for tests. As reported sport.zgora.pl service Dudek has broken two ribs and a hematoma of the liver. 20-year-old speedway rider will most likely wait for surgery, this information gave his mom." Eeeek! does that translation mean he is going to ride with broken ribs!, maybe it's just got lost in the translation. Then again Tai Woffinden is in the line-up despite being far from fit. Interesting comment from Piraterna; "Pirates coach Stefan Andersson is surprised to Jonas Davidsson not running. I was almost sure that he would run. But we'll see, a lot can happen tomorrow."

Lol Lol. Hey i was doing enough to qualify as multi-tasking but just don't ask me any questions as to who won what. It did slightly fry my brain as over the next two days i frequently found myself at the bottom of the stairs wandering if i was about to go up to get something or if i had just come down!

AVAILABLE NOW As ever any late changes through injury or whatever will be reflected in an updated racecard. Your choice as to download now or wait until Tuesday MiniMax Racecards - Swedish Play Offs Semi-Final 2nd Leg, ELIT VETLANDA Vs. INDIANERNA (TUESDAY) http://speedway.manc.../racecards.html

Oooops lol. Before i posted i did scroll back a couple of pages and must have whizzed by the small post you refer to. In my defence i had two tv's and two computers going whilst watching a live NFL match, NFL Red Zone and also Nascar lol.

BIG APOLOGY FROM NICKI ON ALL 'CHARGES' Not seen this anywhere else yet but a translated version of http://www.aktuellsp...-om-urs-kt.html The three-time world champion Nicki Pedersen, apologizes for his reaction after the judge's decision to exclude him from the race fifth heats, after the incident with Andreas Jonsson in Målilla. In a statement issued by Pedersen and his team says Nicki, among other things, that as a permanent driver in the Cup series since 2001, he is aware of the rules of the game and says he apologizes for his actions afterwards, that may have offended among viewers and child. The communication from the team writes overpriced That Nicki is a driver with a huge winning instinct and he always runs with great passion for the sport. Pedersen is currently third overall in the World Cup table and struggling to find a new medal. With this in mind, the emotions run away when a driver is aware that they are sentenced improperly. The team writes overpriced That the World Series is live and many drivers thwart get a camera or microphone in front of Them as soon as They took off his helmet after a fight. In other sports, the media is not the chance to do so and the athletes have time to evaluate a situation before they are interviewed, they say, and continues: and Continues: As a dad, Nicki is overpriced very conscious of his role for the youngest viewers and he is always willing to sign autographs and set up on the image.

OMG! (part two/amended) this will drive Alan insane there is even a picnic table in the area inside the main entrance and behind the main grandstand. (lol) On a serious note, sorry GW i forgot to offer Congratulations and Jubilations to your team, although saying 'cool' is good. Do let us know, probably in the main Swedish thread if a decision is months away, as to whether Smerderna will be taking up the promotion into the top tier.

Firstly i'll try and pre-empt those who trawl the forums with pointless non-constructive posts who AS OF RIGHT NOW (lol lol lol) have surpassed their cerebral capacity of reading a post more than a few words long. It's a discussion forum and as such civil and level-headed topics stretch to......shock! horror!......more than a couple of paragraphs. Also bold and capitalizised text is used for visually stressing specific points only. Ok on to the response..... Barrow Boy on that logic you might as well save yourself time and work and publish your tables ONCE a season and only after all the matches have been completed. Your last sentence totally illustrates that. You are resorting to a play on words to define it reflects them as they 'really' stand. The reason why i suggest only showing them come the final table is because your tables in effect add asolutely nothing to the comprehension of how teams are accurately truly performing at a competitive level - which is the whole purpose of the MiniMax tables. The plus/minus tables heavily and falsely distort a team's standing merely on grounds of how fortunate a team has been to race home matches more than away matches, ESPECIALLY SO if a team is poor on their travels. It's a bit like when Sky in their league broadcasts refer to a team for a good two thirds of the season as being in the play off chase just because they stand fourth in the table. Yet if that team is useless away from home and the vast majority of their points have come from having ridden a lot more home matches than anyone else then in reality it's a false claim. 'Trick Tracks' (and normal) in both leagues have often tended to pile home matches in early and gain a good visual placing in the league. Maybe certain promotions with regularly weak teams do this in order to gain publicity appearing to be an attraction to floating fans or non-followers of the sport. However it's only those who have little intellect and take the bare league table OR the plus/minus table at blind face value who crucially can't see the wood for the trees. Many other forms of media both within and outside of the sport are laughably only now coming to see who in the Elite League have been the 'Great Pretenders' all season.They are only now catching sight of the true contenders finally rising up the table. The MiniMax tables across the leagues have been displaying clearly for months as to who is genuinely involved in the play-off chases......HAVE THE PLUS/MINUS TABLES BEEN SHOWING THE SAME??? and if not, which they sooooo haven't, what is the point in publishing them when they serve no additional insight to a bare league table. Too be honest in the way you present them so bare and devoid of surrounding basic qualifying stats they can ONLY serve to DISTORT! I reiterate the MiniMax tables year after year give a clear and true indication of how teams actually stand (in a true reflection of sporting performance level) for a long time before the actual tables do, and a very long time - not far off the end of season - before other 'systems' do. If we were talking about football such tables wouldn't make any great difference but in a sport such as speedway where home and away performances differ so drastically it matters a lot. You may think that one can look at a standard league table and say that a team which has ridden far less matches let's you know that they are of higher standard than their position implies. However, using the MiniMax projected points calculation on the home and away performances gives a more accurate representation. I mean if a team has seven matches in hand their likely end of season total will be enormously different depending on them being seven home or seven away fixtures to take place. The MiniMax tables will show that NOW, the plus/minus table will only show that near or at the END of the season, begging the question what is their purpose?. Sorry if you took offence at the wording of part of my earlier reply, however at the time i was responding direct in kind - as in using their terminology - to a non-constructive post that simply hurled an insult. I have mentioned that i'm only presenting valid reasons for stating that one system (MiniMax) IS mathematically superior to another (plus/minus). The latter merely consists of a bare print-out of facts totally devoid of any meaningful parameters. I'd presume that a reply would consist of counter arguments or not but i see your reply seems only to present a play on words regarding the term 'how they really stand'. It's no biggie and i'm certainly not 'arguing' as such over the whole matter, nor am intending to upset anybody and obviously am not remotely upset over anything myself lol. I merely wanted to address a non-constructive claim that the Minimax were nonsense and i only initially referred to the plus/minus as a comparison. As far as i'm concerned all the best to you and merrily continue publishing away with no harm at all to anyone, well except for giving false hopes to their team being in a non-existent position of challenging for a play-off place or title lol For those that enjoy looking at the tables well absolutely all good there too. Personally myself i am very bemused at how they can be treated as having a meaningful purpose for the reasons stated above and i expanded on the reasons on the MiniMax league table web page.
