I second your observations on Dave Goddard as he seems to have absolutely ZERO communication with the providers of the feed from Sweden. Premier Sports must surely pay a reasonable fee yet apparently they get no updates from the track regards rider changes etc.

 

I do expect that Dave is totally on his own. Bear in mind it's not just Premier Sports taking that feed - Orange Sport in Poland get the same pictures. Unfortunately what should happen and what can happen are often a good way apart, Ultimately it's probably all a matter of money. Dave clearly uses his research well to cover the gap. If only I'd had the internet in the 80s!

Question to Ghostwalker, TV commentator wondering too, what happens if aggregate scores level? half a bonus point or none for each team? I'm presuming the latter?

Then there will be extra heat(s) to determine the bonus.

 

 

10.1.7.1 Skiljeheat om lagbonuspoäng vid lika resultat

I händelse av att båda lagen har uppnått samma antal förarpoäng efter de båda mötena

skall ett (1) skiljeheat genomföras för att fastställa vilket lag som vinner lagbonuspoängen.

Lagledarna nominerar 1 förare + 1 reserv för denne enligt SR 5.5. Hemmalaget nominerar

först.

Seeing these Swedish matches with the world's best riding in front of healthy crowds really does make you realise how much we have lost in the UK - and they can still afford proper tactical substitutions too!

To be honest, crowds are a bit too small if you look at all tracks and do an average of it.

Cool a much more enjoyable match race than the old 'Golden Helmet' bores we used to have in the UK when i was a very little nipper in the 70's.

 

I do have the Swedish Regulations downloaded so apologies for being lazy and not checking it for myself lol.

Compared to ours they're superb. I know there are problems over there, as Smederna fans are all-too aware but compared to here...

Haven't got the link off hand but i think it's the main svemo site has attendance averages etc. I referred and linked to it recently elsewhere.

 

UPDATE

Recent average and total attendances

 

Ikaros Smederna 3,337 16,686

Indianerna ~~~~ 3,314 13,256

Dackarna ~~~~~~ 2,823 14,117

Elit Vetlanda ~ 2,273 9,093

Piraterna ~~~~~ 2,269 6,807

Västervik ~~~~~ 2,182 6,547

Hammarby ~~~~~~ 1,987 7,947

Vargarna ~~~~~~ 1,865 7,458

 

Total ~~~~~~~~~ 2,506 81,911

 

These average attendances may likely rise once we finally get a steady summer. Also, the battle for play-off places and the play-off themselves should more than counter teams who have nothing to fight for. Most teams are usually in with a chance of accessing the play-offs until late in the season.

Anyway, thanks to Dave Goddard for another very professional evening's work and thanks also to Ghostwalker for the information.

 

I have so many fond memories of my trips to Sweden - not as much as one of our cameramen at Vargana's Norrkopping track when as the meeting ended a gorgeous blonde ran up the grass bank to plant a smacker on him. Tragically it was a one-off.

I'd say that Smederna, Indianerna, Dackarna, and Vetlanda probably are on the safe side.

Piraterna and Västervik are on the limit and Hammarby and Vargarna need more.

Dackarna's attendance figures are falling at quite a rate. Fortunately they have set a break even budget figure at 1,800.

 

"Despite the low attendance figures so do not club boss to some drastic measures need to be done in the current situation. - No, no! There is no panic, but surely start alarm bells to ring. I think this will correct itself during the season and we have only budgeted for a cut on 1 800. In recent years, we have always budgeted between 1,700 to 1,900 paying spectators."

 

Dackarnas attendance average the last ten years:

2003: 4,128

2004: 4,415

2005: 4,431

2006: 4,242

2007: 5,341

2008: 4,302

2009: 4,255

2010: 3,877

2011: 3,968

2012: 3,930

2013: 2,471 (after 3 of 7 home games) This has risen to 2,823 after five matches.

(Playoff matches are not included)

Anyone know what happened to Iversen tonight. 2+1 from 3 is a very unusual score. Crash, just a bad night, ill???

 

He's been missing off Twitter too. Very strange

 

I don't know, just a bad night I think, no crash though and he wasn't that hot at Parken GP either.
