Changes
Start at Glasgow
Posted 17/06/05
The changes that the promotion promised began
last night with the announcement that Glasgow will have a new rider
in the stripes on Sunday.
Stefan Ekberg is the man coming in and he will slot straight
into wearing the number 3 race jacket according to an announcement
made during last nights meeting.
He currently rides for Lejonen in the Swedish Allsvenskan
as well as having turned out as a squad member for VMS Elit of the
Elite league-he was one of the riders in the team that won the Swedish
Team Cup in April. Last season he rode in the Piraterna
side alongside Shane Parker on a few occasions. As Lejonen are known
as the Lions he will be continuing the feline theme with the Tigers!
Stefan did previously ride in the UK in the mid nineties
with Oxford for a few seasons where he started very well before falling
away at the time he left UK speedway.
In a posting on the British
Speedway Forum, a Swedish fan who has seen him of late feels that
provided he gets his equipment right, Ekberg should be a solid signing
for Glasgow.
Welcome to Glasgow Stefan.
Alan Dick did indicate that there was more to come in the
way of rebuilding and a further announcement is expected from the
promotion in the next few days.
