OK rollercoaster ride time......

 

1. Great news above.

 

2. Uh oh how realistic or accurate is this report from Swedish Speedway News?

 

"Threat: No television coverage of the Elitserien arenas

Writer: John Wahlberg March 21, 2014 @ 18:09.

Elitserien clubs have been in a conflict with the union and now it is very unclear whether C More, which has rights will be allowed into the stadiums in early 2014. The reason is that clubs may only take part in 800 000 of the 3.5 million that the agreement entails.

- Svemo, we believe, confiscates the revenue we create by television broadcasts, said the chairman of ESS, Wolves Lars Berlin to SVT Sport.

SVEMO Chairman Hakan Leeman, however, is satisfied with the distribution of money.

- Yes, I think it looks fairly out. We have quite a large cost of running this business, and we have shown them how much costs we have to take this and that we have also divided the money that we consider reasonable, he says to SVT.

A motion to Elitserien clubs shall have 80% of the money will be raised on SVEMO Federation meeting on April 12. But it remains to be seen what decision becomes."

 

 

@MP I am pretty certain that there will be Swedish speedway on tv.

 

If they would block TV from showing meetings the biggest looser would be the clubs themselves.

 

I have written about this before so I'll see if I can find those posts.

As expected the clubs have backed off from their threat to stop C more from broadcasting from this years Elitserien.

That's a big relief, thanks for the news.

Well perhaps a bit to fast?

 

According to Norrtälje Tidning, the previous statement was "mis-interpreted". and the clubs previous demands still applies and no negotiation are taking place.

Hi Ghostwalker can you update on Bysarna?

 

What is happening with the track at Hejdeby, is the for 80cc? will senior racing return to Gotland?

Yeah the track is 80cc only, at the moment there is no plans to build a 500cc track as well since it's too expensive to build it

and because is probably isn't economically possible to support a 500cc team at Gotland.

 

I had a look around on their website but there aren't much info or pictures so don't know the actual status of the track.

From what I have understand the club's members/volunteers have done almost all work themselves during the build process to keep the cost down.

does ghostwalker run swedish speedway ? if not, perhaps he/see might fancy coming over and giving our lot a hand. declared sides for tomorrow look brilliant to someone who isn't used to swedish lge, makes our elite lge look a bit pale. really looking forward to tomorrow night.

[Ghostwalker]

Yes if there is anything to tomorrow. Clubs still threatens to block tv-broadcaster c-more so we will see tomorrow if there will be any live tv.

[manchesterpaul]

Hopefully Jonny's boys will muscle their way in

This taken from Speedwaynyheter:

"Negotiations on television agreement with SVEMO has stalled announces ESS Monday. ESS has submitted a bid to SVEMO how Elitserien clubs would be willing to see out the last three years, but the union has chosen not to respond to the request.

- Svemo has not responded to the offer, which we perceive as a rejection of the proposal says Lars Berlin, Chairman of the ESS in a pressmeddalden.

As the Elitserien clubs not received a reply to its bid will highlight the situation with measures against television coverage of the Elitserien Arenas.

- We will be sending down a team and according to our indications should not be any problem to broadcast the match, says Jonny Soderstrom on C More's press service.

What happens if you do not get admitted?

- Then it's a breach of contract.

And it's SVEMO contract terms with?

- Yes, like it's Svemo."

does ghostwalker run swedish speedway ?

 

He probably knows more about it than those who do!

[Ghostwalker]

I would assume that Cmore will demand money back from Svemo if there won't be any tv-coverage. What will Svemo do then? They will probably demand the lost money from the teams.

 

I can agree that the clubs should get a bigger piece of the cake but I don't understand what they think that they are going to gain from this?

[manchesterpaul]

Nice to see that PIraterna have doubled their season ticket sales and increased sponsorship in light of their recent successes.
