Ghostwalker Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Zagar was very good in Sweden last season. amazed he can't get a place. He was very good all season but it is of course despite that not justifiable to accept his offer for a doubling of his pay rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 TOO costly perhaps. Swedish tracks feeling the pinch. Ok thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Interesting article here states 18 Poles have a place in the Swedish league so far. At current count there are two Brits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Interesting article here states 18 Poles have a place in the Swedish league so far. At current count there are two Brits.And we know why- no need to set up with equipment for Sweden. The Poles and their mechanics catch a ferry after their Sunday league action with the van and bikes and some then do Denmark on the Wednesday before going home.

Ghostwalker Posted October 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Interesting article here states 18 Poles have a place in the Swedish league so far. At current count there are two Brits. IMO, very few of them actually add any value to the league. Janowski, Dudek, Zmarzlik, Wozniak and Pawlickis and Protasiewicz fine, they add something to the league but the rest no not really. Swedish teams and many fans usually claim that Elitserien is not a place to develop talents but at the same time they have no problem bringing in any foreign talent they can find, pretty much a perfect definition of double standards or of throwing stones in a glass house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Drabik and Woryna?? Well there was an article earlier in the year saying that Zmarlik uses Sweden to test his equipment. Says a lot about the league really. At least you cant do that in the UK because of travel. But Timo Lahti is so popular on the continent. Swedish teams really wanted him and extraliga teams yet it England is good at number 6. Partly because he did not bring over his good bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drabik and Woryna? we'll see about them but they are still young and not established reliable heatleaders yet. "ell there was an article earlier in the year saying that Zmarlik uses Sweden to test his equipment." perhaps but he is doing a very good job with his testing then: http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Elitserien2017/Rankinglista/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Couple of years ago there was a big article on Walasek where he said that Sweden was "no pressure speedway" for him. A swedish journalist followed him from sunday Morning to wednesday or similar. He did an Ekstraliga meeting on sunday and then travelled to Sweden for the Elitserien meeting and had a few drinks the night before... It was all in the interview that in some parts I found too revealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Kasper Lykke Nielsen and Rasmus Jensen are both Danish. Ahh i thought Kasper was Swedish. Did not see the Nielsen part of his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ahh i thought Kasper was Swedish. Did not see the Nielsen part of his name. Swedish names are rarely spelled with kk but rather ck. so as a rule of thumb, you can assume that a person with a double k in the name is Danish, Norwegian or possibly Finnish. Another example is Mikkel Michelsen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealFiend Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Could Hampel be on his way to the UK. No deal in Vetlanda and I don't see any team place for him in Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenit Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Sorry for the offtopic. I see that you have disscused something about differences in swedish and danish names. Now i have question for Ghostwalker. I've noticed that danish surnames finish with "-sen" and swedish with "-son". Example: danish: IverSEN, PederSEN, MichelSEN... Swedish: JonsSON, RickardasSON... Are there any swedish surnames which end with "-sen" and danish with "-son" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) There are Petersén and af Petersens which are Swedish names. I don't know if there are any Danish -sson names. That is important.You have to allow for the fact someones forefathers might have moved to a country.So it might be possible to find Danish people with -sson,but it doesn't mean that is a Danish spelling.Just like Hampel is a Germanic name or further back Glücklich. And Smolinski is a polish name Edited November 13, 2017 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
