Ghostwalker Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Will update it tomorrow. I will update the main post as well but probably not as quickly as previous years, due to lots of work at college. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537&page=1&do=findComment&comment=2028596 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Gubbängens IP speedway track have been permanently closed. An indoor bandy arena is to be built at Gubbängens IP which means that they have to put asphalt on top of the gravel. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/motor/speedway/article23716807.ab Gubbängens IP speedway track have been permanently closed.

Ghostwalker Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Jonas Davidsson will not ride for Piraterna next season. He says himself that Piraterna want to have a top 4 of Greg H, Emil S, Peter Kildemand and N-K Iversen then Davidsson's average would be to hight to fit in. http://corren.se/nyheter/han-raknar-inte-med-piraterna-om4341606.aspx I wonder what the heck Piraterna is thinking (likely they are not thinking at all). They have several times the past years have troubled finances but now they they continue to sign expensive riders as if they would have find their own gold mine. This kind of headless spending needs to stop (that goes for all teams) and the clubs needs to start to go with more home grown riders instead. If I could choose, I would like Elitserien to have 5 Swedish riders and 2 foreign stars / line-up rather then the opposite that we have now, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 If Piraterna are going for that top four it would leave just enough space for Palovaara and two 0.500 riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) In today's local newspaper, there was a very nice interview with John "Cowboy" Cook. It is available online but is behind a pay wall though. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4463751-legendaren-john-cook-om-livet-doden-och-vm-avslutningen Edited October 22, 2016 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June01 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 He says himself that Piraterna want to have a top 4 of ...Emil S... Hope they make the terms of his contract crystal clear this time and ensure he's going to make himself available for play-offs. Didn't go down at all well with the fans last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Pretty quiet on the signing front at the moment but it is till another 4 week until the squad declarations are due. Some top names like Nicki P, G. Laguta, N-K Iversen, Piotr Pawlicki and Matej Zagar still haven't signed a deal for next season. It will also be interesting to see if any team have the guts to sign Milik. A good prospect but he comes with a very hight average (2.000+). Then for Smederna, the question is whether or not Kenni L is fit for league racing next season. If he is reasonably fit I can't Smederna not signing him, I think that Smederna will be interesting in supporting him after what happened to Kenni. He has also been very loyal to Smederna and is said to have a, relatively, cheap contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smederna are rumoured to have signed with Milik. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4492586-avslojar-ny-forare-overens-med-smederna Smederna are also interested in Iversen but he is rumoured to have signed for Piraterna. Freddie Lindgren have signed with Dackarna. G. Laguta wants to wait a little more before making up his mind. Mikkel Michelsen initially intended to leave Smederna but after becoming burned by another team, he have made some contact with Smederna. So we'll see what happens. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4492586-avslojar-ny-forare-overens-med-smederna Edited November 1, 2016 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
