Ghostwalker Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Lennart Andersson have been elected as the new chairman in Valsarna. Other news about Valsarna is that even if their finances look very bad for a majority of the season, Valsarna did managed a 60'000kr (~£6000) plus last season. Hopefully the finances will stay on black figures for Valsarna. Other new chairmen are Johan Thuresson in Piraterna and Jeanette Moback for Tigrarna. More news: the ovaltrack racing section of Svemo (that is the section fo (speedway, iceracing, longtrack and grasstrack) have been affected by several changes and defections. First the 4 people strong sections were slimmed down to an one person section were Leif Fredriksson were supposed to be the man to lead the section, with Kristian Stenström as a co-ordinator. However Kristian left his position in February and a few days ago Leif decided to leave his position as well. Pelle Westlng , who is secretary general of Svemo, says that the workload put on Leif became to much but there is a support system that can step in. However, at the moment, we dont use the tern leader of the section. Its on the volounteer side that we have problems. *1 Leifs duties will be managed by Bertil Bergström from Svemo's main board, he will be assisted by Pernilla Larsson at Svemo's secretariat and by Svemo sporting director Annika Pettersson. Tony Olsson will also assist them in an advisory role. In the article there are also questions about the National team's team manager and whether or not Peter Jansson (also TM for Vargarna) will stay as tm. He is not replaced at the moment but he might be replaced. We don't know yet, but clearly he have had too many roles, we just can't give him all the work just because he is a kind man. We need to start having full or part time employed national team, team managers. It is connected to a larger structure, we dont need just one tm like the National football team, Svemo have several different sports. full article in google english. * 1= Many of those who work in the various sections of Svemo, are doing it on a volunteer hobby basis and there for have regular jobs and etc. as well.

Ghostwalker Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) @Dexer i dont know, time will tell how the issue will develop. Anyway Svemo made an announced today the new team manager for the Swedish national team. Elit Vetlanda's Bosse Wirebrand have been appointed new TM for Team Sweden, which means responsibilities when it comes to World Cup team and coaching. It also means that Bosse will be in charge of nominations for GP/EuroChamp qualifications. Bosse says that he will continue his work for Elit Vetlanda as usual and that his employer, Elitfönster (Vetlanda's main sponsor) and Elit Vetlanda have all approved to let Bosse take on the national Team. Bosse also says that he will try to give support to those that participates in the qualifications. He then says that its important that the riders gets the info in time and that it is important that Sweden defends its position in the speedway world (world cup). He ends with that he finds it exiting that the GP Challenge will be held at Vetlanda's track. (but honestly i am not that thrilled about it). "there are several Swedish riders that are really fast around Vetlanda's track. Svemo also announced that a new development group has been started. Masarnas team manager Mats Olsson together with Peter Jansson (tm for Vargarna) and Anders Kling (formerly Dackarna, now instructor at Hultsfred Speedway High Shool). The idea with this groups is to catch the young talents with the help of several training camps. An elite group will also be created during the year. Me, Peter and Anders have a long experience with U21 speedway and we have followed the development during the past 20 years. We believe in this and we are really on fire for our U21 riders, says Mats Olsson. 2011 is a very important years for Swedish U21 speedway, since many of the best U21 riders are doing their last years as U21's. There are potential in all of them to achieve something great duringthis season. Mats olsson says that he wont be surprised if we have some World Championship medals among these guys when the season have finished. Pierre Gustafsson will stay as tm for the 80cc national team. http://www.svemo.se/...nsiktenpaSVEMO/ /// personally i believe in this too. Bosse, i would think, is one of the major contributing factors to Vetlandas success the past 6-7 years or so and i think that the U21 trio will do good too. Hopefully this will be slightly more long term solution rather then just a "quick fix". Edited April 1, 2011 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will be slightly more long term solution rather then just a "quick fix". Its obviously the year for ex national team mangers to come back into the role, with Neil Middleditch coming back to the UK team. I first met Bo way back in the 80's when Per Jonsson and Jimmy Nilsen were first making an impact at world level, and found him to be a good guy, who was quite a motivational team manager ( not dissimilar to Rob Lyon here in the UK)and was very popular with the riders. I think that he will be good for Swedish speedway at this level and I have no doubt taht he will have the full backing of Svemo. With the team that they have put in place for the U21's I don't think that this is any kind of short term fix, but is definitely for the long term.I don't know Peter or Anders, but if they are the same kind of people as Mats, then I think things are looking positive for Swedish speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Where can I obtain a list of current averages for Swedish Elitserien? there is a list available already. however it only has the riders that rode in sweden last year and riders are sorted by what them they were registered with last season. but as far as i know there is no info similar to the one speedway.nu used to have, since Svemo have decided to handle it themselves this season.

Ghostwalker Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Bysarnas new track at Hejdeby, near Visby on Gotland, have been heavily delayed. The reason to the delay is that the past winter was longer then expected and that there fell more snow then expected. This means that the 80cc track, at the earliest, won't be finished until the 2012 season. In the meantime Bysarnas 80cc team will have their home meetings at the Veddesta track outside Stockholm.
