I wouldn't have thought so. Valsarna were the only ones with the ambition to go Elite, but Thomas H Jonasson was their main asset, and he already has an Elitserien team.
Elsewhere, Leigh Adams has agreed to do 7-10 meetings for Lejonen after Masarna's relegation and subsequent bankruptcy. Presumably in a job share with Nicki P - now where else in the world would you find Pedersen and Adams in the same team?

Griparna won't be affected, their new partner club is Vargarna and Griparna won't be involved with Hammarby any more - nor will I.

Magnus Karlsson has signed for Solkatterna and will be their captain. source: www.solkatterna.comRumours on Valsarna's forum suggest the team could be offered Hammarby's place in the Elitserien. However, the consensus seems to be that it's not viable to accept. I'm sure we'll hear more on this in due course. source: www.webvoter.netOther rumours surfacing on Rospiggarna and Masarna's guestbooks are that there may be a new team in the Allsvenskan next year. Vargarna are hoping to have the backbone of their new team in place over the next fortnight. They are talking to three GP riders (presumably Nicholls and Zagar) and are feeling more positive about next season, although still angry about losing Lindback. source: www.nt.se

Adam Shields has signed for Vargarna from Rospiggarna. source: www.folkbladet.seIt looks like Ryan Sullivan and Mikael Max will be leaving Piraterna. The Pirates have already signed Antonio Lindback, and the latest rumour is that Jonas Davidsson, who lives just a couple of minutes from the Motala track, will be joining him. source: www.motalatidning.seFormer SVEMO Chairman, Jan Alkebring, says clubs must get together to do something about the situation in Swedish speedway. He believes wage caps are a necessity. source: www.folket.seRune Holta could be off to Indianerna. The club can't currently afford him, but there are sponsors willing to step in to help if they can "find the right name". source: www.hogland.nuIt's a big week for Smederna, who are hoping the sale of the name of their stadium will be resolved. They are also hoping to sign Magnus Zetterstrom. source: www.folket.se

Jan Alkebring is a very sensible and knowledgeable man, I met him personally at a meeting last week. He also has great insight into the financial situation at all clubs, since his current position is within the Elite License committee where they review just that.

SVEMO are having a meeting on the 15th November to discuss whether to invite another team to Elitserien. Under the current rules, Masarna, being the team who were relegated, should have had first option, but as they have now folded that won't happen. source: www.sr.se

Last week, it was declared that Avesta Speedway Club was bankrupt. Now there is hope that the newly formed Gasarna SK will be able to revive speedway in Masarna. For the moment there is an interim board, which together with the old sports group and a sponsor group of Masarna are working to put together three teams for 2009 - one in the allsvenskan, a team in division 1, as well as a team in the 80cc series. It looks the the main question of them running lies with what happens to the fixtures from Masarna - the air fence, tractor and water bowser. They are also hoping to repay some of the debts owed to Masarna's and Team Dalakraft's riders in the hope that they will ride for the newly formed team. The quest for sponsors, large and small, has already begun. source: www.dalademokraten.se
