Rospiggarna have decided to step down to Allsvenskan from Elitserien
One of their board members,Göran Lindblom, says that Rospiggarna neither can or want to be apart of Elitserien under the current circumstances
he also says that he finds the entire system sick.
So yesterday evening the board took a unanimously decision to step down one notch to Allsvenskan.
This means that Rospiggarna who won the playoffs as newcomers in 1995 and during the 14 following seasons
they won the gold another three times 1997, 2001 & 2002.
Göran Lindblom continues and says that the y have several reasons for their decision.
They have had problems with decreasing attendance levels and sponsors incomes so
they don't want to risk the clubs existence by staying in Elitserien and by that risking to
send the club into bankruptcy.
Göran also says that Rospiggarna will do a break even financial results this year and that it is not
an immediate financial crisis. All riders and contractors have been paid.
So in general it is all about that we don't want to gamble with another season in Elitserien and hope that it
would work out alright.
The current season have costed Rospiggarna about 4 million Swedish Kronor (approx £356'000GBP) and
to take a step down would means that they would at least lower their cost with 50% Göran says.
