Ghostwalker Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) with the signing of Oliver, Smederna can put this team on the track: Magnus Zetterström 2,229 Linus Eklöf 1,635 Kenni Larsen 1,914 Ricky Kling 1,595 Peter Karlsson 2,176 Oliver Berntzon 1,16 Rasmus Broberg 0,5 total average: 11,209 Which would indicate that live streaming on the internet has had a VERY positive effect Where it matters .

Yeah i agree but i also would like to claim that two new teams (Smederna and Gnistorna) as well as the guestrider system are two other factors that have contributed to the increase of the spectator sizes.

brandonbee48 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Didn`t do any harm to rock music CD sales either ! Well, not in this house it didn't . Since this old fart single handedly keeps the CD companies in business to the chagrin of my "downloadin" 17 year old. I recall our friend Ghostwalker saying there was initial opposition to the live streaming from the clubs but the attendances soon reassured them. Until we get "Smellovision" i would much rather be there, but the cost from 3 thousand miles away is a tad prohibative Super Polski Sundays are almost here!!!! Take care. Alan. with the signing of Oliver, Smederna can put this team on the track: Magnus Zetterström 2,229 Linus Eklöf 1,635 Kenni Larsen 1,914 Ricky Kling 1,595 Peter Karlsson 2,176 Oliver Berntzon 1,16 Rasmus Broberg 0,5 total average: 11,209 Champions!

No name have been mentioned but rumours are that its Bjarne P and Tai W that they are interested in.

Ghostwalker Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) There where supposed to have been an Allsvenskan pair meeting in early May. However since Örnarna have declined participation and since Gnistorna haven't even replied, it seems that the pair meeting have to be scrapped. Possibly there might an individual competition instead. http://ekuriren.se/sport/speedway/1.1402309-allsvenska-lag-vill-inte-aka-till-eskilstuna Edited April 11, 2012 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Valsarna have signed Robert Kosciecha while Smederna after some discussion and negotiation decided not to sign David Ruud. Imo Smederna did the right thing since it would be very unfair to kick one of the younger riders out just before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Firstly thanks for the very good & informative opening post, and keeping us updated ghostwalker. If a new foreign rider starts over here then they get an assessed average, I was wondering if that was the same in Sweden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Firstly thanks for the very good & informative opening post, and keeping us updated ghostwalker. If a new foreign rider starts over here then they get an assessed average, I was wondering if that was the same in Sweden? It depends from which country the riders comes from and in what league he rides in, in his/hers home country (home league). For Swedish Elitserien average the following applies: If the riders home league is Extralliga (Polish riders) or Elit league (British, Australian and NZ rider) they will get the same average as they have in their home league. If the riders home league is Polish Liga 1, Danish Superleague or Czech Extraliga the riders will get the average from their home league multiplied with 0,7. If the home league is British Premier League the rider will have their home league averages*0,6 For Polish Liga II, German Bundesliga, Czech div. 1, Russian first league, Ukrainian league its their home league average*0,5 For all other leagues its home league average*0,4. However the initial starting average for non-Swedish riders, can never be lower then 1,250 (5.00), For Allsvenskan and Swedish Div1 the averages will be recalculated with the standard formulas. These formulas are: Current average divided by 0,75 + 0,667 for conversion to nearest lower series (like from Elitserien to AS or from AS to Div1). Current average multiplied by 0,75 – 0,500 conversion to nearest higher series series (like from Div1 to AS or from AS to Elitserien). 2012 rule book pages 74&36; http://www.svemo.se/...eedway_2012.PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
