Daniel Smith Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Does this now mean that Niels will be able to now ride in Poland, Denmark and the UK, instead of Sweden/Denmark and Poland ??? No, Neils had already signed for a new Swedish team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Any news or gossip locally where the missing millions have gone in Eskilstuna? Most people in Eskilstuna likely doesn't even know who Smederna are so there aren't much gossip around the city. Eskilstuna have about 100'000 inhabitants maybe 10% knows of Smederna and follow scores and etc but it's only 25-30% of them 10% who show up for meetings. I don't really know either. At the end of 2014 Smederna (club | föreningen) and Smederna Speedway AB (AB ~ Ltd) had a combined result of + 260kSEK. Last winter the profit was suddenly a large loss and now they tell us that they are back to a large profit (about 1,2MSEK) despite that Smederna had a really poor attendance average last season. Sure the team rode like rookies but still. As for Indianerna, well a 4MSEK debt. How is it even theoretically possible to achieve such thing?

Ghostwalker Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Smederna will host one of the U21 qualification meetings. The meeting will be held on May 20th. Smederna assumed the hosting of the meeting since original hosts Indianerna decided they no longer wanted/were able to host it.http://www.ekuriren.se/sport/smederna-arrangerar-vm-kval/http://eskilstunasmederna.se/internationell-kvaltavling-till-eskilstuna-motorstadion/You coming DG?

Ghostwalker Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Before I forget it, Tuesday June 6th is a public holiday which means that some meetings (may) start(s) earlier. Smederna - Masarna will start at 17.00 but I am not sure if there are other meetings that also starts earlier. Also round 7 Indianerna - Masarna and round 9 Masarna - Indianerna have been shifted so that it now is the opposite. This was requested by Masarna since they did not want to have a home meeting the same week as the SM-finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Indianerna's application have been approved. http://www.na.se/motor/speedway/beslutet-indianerna-beviljas-rekonstruktion However, everyone that are owed money by Indianerna are to tell if they approve or not at a meeting later this week. I am not sure how that works technically. I think that even if some say no, the reconstruction can still be approved. Antonio Lindbäck says that he will say no. http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=161&artikel=6645820 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't know. I think it is likely that it won't be shown, at least not on Eurosport. They didn't really seems to understand how league speedway worked. That there is delays due to weather, broken airfences, injured riders and etc and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meetings take too long. 15 heats which is only 15-18 minutes of racing should take no longer than 90 minutes from end to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think that the Swedish broadcaster C more have no problem filling the gaps in a 2 hours meeting with interviews, intra discussions between commentators and the track side studio people, guests as well as feature stories. The issue is the for ESP these gaps are filled with a fixed feed where the camera just overlooks the track. So C more might want to have the 2 hour meeting as it is while ESP want to have it shorter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Looking on http://www.elitspeedway.com/matcher/ I see the dates are in for the final Final 1 - 26 septemberFinal 2 - 27 september(Reservdag 28 september) Does anyone know if this has a chance of moving or if these dates are set in stone. Always wanted to do these 2 nights and this sounds appealing. 2 nights in Sweden then down to Pardubice for the Golden Helmet/U21s sounds like a great week of speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
