i think it will be interesting to see how Jagus and Jonas D gets along in Piraterna. They didnt get along especially well last season in Smederna. And a few weeks ago the Pirate's team manager Stefan Andersson described Smedernas polish riders as a "polish mafia" but know he have signed "The don".
Other moves is Kasper and probably also King to Vargarna.

Other moves is Kasper to Vargarna. In place of who? no info yet but i would guess that Joe Screen is one of them. The other one well i dont know but i wouldnt be surprised if it is Eddie Kennett, he havent showed anything so far for Vargarna. Only 2p from 4 rides tonight which means 18p from 6 meetings so far this season.

unfortunately it seems there is more turbulence in Swedish Speedway. According to an article in Västerviks tidning, some of Västerviks members, club board members and sponsors wants to sack sporting director Conny Torstensson. The reasons they gives is that they think he is useless, he wont listen to criticisms against him, that he makes few constructive decisions, he doesn't inform the club board about some of the decisions. Board member Sven Åke Lindblad says: "the problem is that nothing happens. Deals that are discussed are tied up poorly, its not working. SÅL gives an example: We made a brochure that costed the club over 100'000 kr (divide by 12.8 for pounds) plus distribution costs. Its allot of money for a club and the question is how much the club benefited from it." Other parts of the criticism is that Conny is paid for his services whihc is to be considred as a half time job. He earns about 200'000kr/year and besides that money his salary costs the club another 100'000 /year in social fees. www.vt.se/nyheter/artikel.aspx?articleid=4984621the second article is a response from Conny. www.vt.se/nyheter/artikel.aspx?articleid=4984623

Also more info is that Västerviks finances aren't the best and some board members says that they cant get any new sponsors as long as Conny Torstensson is sporting director for Västervik.
Club president says that the criticisms is not an official opinion of the board and that they members should pull in the same direction and help each other instead of making statements to the press.
----------
I would like to say that its is very familiar from earlier this year when Smederna tried to elect a new board and club president. Allot of people wanted Fredrik Eklund but for some reason he and his proposition for new club board was rejected and allot of "Pie throwing" followed in the media until Jan Åkerviken could be elected with a sligthly different board.

Piraterna have closed their guestbook for the rest of the season after a series of personal attacks on a member of the club.
I didn't see it, but I guess that person would be Stefan Andersson?

schumi, well there are 2-3 options: Stefan Andersson, Emil S (for his manoeuvre on Hans A) or less likely JD for letting Zorro past him in the GP qualifications.

If I'm correct in my assumption of the specific guestbook entry which caused the guestbook/forum to close, it was an un-named staff member that was accused of being under the influence of alcohol at home meeting(s).
I reacted myself to this entry and thought it was strange that it wasn't deleted. I may have read it too soon after the posting so there hadn't been any time to delete it...

Following Smedernas withdrawal from Elitserien a conflict between vargarna and the other 7 teams have arisen. The other 7 teams dont want to remove Smedernas scores from the results table. They Consider that Vargarna would benefit too much on it since they were the only team to meet Smedern twice and they lost both meetings. Piraterna's team manager Stefan Andersson want Smederna's remaining meetings to be considered Walk Overs and 3 points (WO=64-32 win) for the opponent. IMO Smederna's score should be removed and the league table and rider averages should be re-calculated, Its not Vargarnas fault that Smederna dropped out. Note worthy is also that the pirates currently are in the second to last place in the total standings and if Smederna score would be removed the total standings would look like this (Current points and change): (i moved this entry from the Allsvenskan thread).

some more Smederna rider news:
Linus Eklöf most likely to be lended to Griparna in Allsvenskan. King to Vargarna (this eason+next) Mikael Max most likely to Lejonen. Martin Vaculik, Dackarna is interested in loaning him for the rest of the season as a replacement for Schlein.

SVEMO seem to have come to an agreement, but can't make it public until they can justify their decision. www.nt.se

that is correct Schumi and speculations are that SVEMOhave cooked up something on their own. SVEMo doesnt seem to have any rules of their own covering a team withdrawing mid season but the rules of Riksidrottsförbundet clearly says that if a team (any sport/league) withdraws mid season those results should be removed.
