A video I made after the gold in 2017, perhaps I need to do an updated version. I also read on social media that there were fans
from Wimbledon present at the celebrations. They had travelled here from London and Kent.

 

That mention of the Wimbledon fans is one of the most touching comments I've read for a  long time. Nearly half a century on Tommy Jansson's light still burns in faithful hearts. This troubled sport can still make you gasp. It's people like that who will never let the sport die.

us Wimbledon fans that remember Tommy Jansson, Bo Jansson and Stefan Salomonsson riding fro Wimbledon have great affection for Smederna. And our clubs will always be linked with love our Tommy.

Great video Ghostwalker I remember watching the 2017 final on TV in the UK ad brilliant team riding by the Smederna and their never give-up attitude in the second leg against Elit Vetlanda wh rarely lost at home was incredible. Their 2018 title after losing at home was also special. But 2019 to win both legs by such a maargain against a quality Dackarna team was sensational.

The Smederna gold ahts I think are brilliant and I want one.

I think you remembering it wrong. in 2018 the first meeting at Eskilstuna was postponed due to rain. Smederna won by 2p in Målilla
and then crushed Dackarna at home on Smedstadion the week after.

Many thanks for putting right Ghostwalker I never these meetings live but only  recordings of the live meeting, as I was in hospital at the time, and missed both meetings live. This is where my confusion must have came from.

many thanks for the links :D

The important thing now for Smederna now is to secure Jerker, Jimmy and Jarl for the next season.

Also the interview with Fredrik Lindgren after the meeting when the team celebrated, the reporter asked him if there is any chance for him to continue at Smederna, Fredrik obviously said No, but you could see that he got emotional about it, was probably a hard decision for him to take.

We all know that Smederna perform best when they need to, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that we would absolutely crush Dackarna.

Thankyou for watching and for all the info this season guys and girls :)

And thank you for your excellent work in the commentary box this season, although i was slightly disappointed that you weren`t translating the Swedish interviews shown  at the end of Wednesday`s match :D

With C More now showing all  the Elitserien  matches in 2020 with a 4 camera main match on both Tuesday`s and Thursday`s next season,  i wonder what the Swedes will make available to foreign TV stations - could it be 2 matches a week on Tuesday`s and Thursday`s ?

More importantly, will C More's captions include all changes to race line-ups, especially when rider-replacement was in use? It can't have been easy for Dave to spot some of those changes that were not mentioned on the feed. Nightmare! At least he had the English language interviews to tell him the nominated heat line-ups. 

It's hard enough commentating 'off-tube' with ALL the information that you need.
