Swedish broadcaster SVT believes in a victory for Lena Philipsson this year. They don't let the grass grow under their feet and joked that they booked the Stockholm Globen Arena for May 2005. We spoke about it with the Swedish Head of Delegation, Anders Carlsson.

SVT said that they “already booked the Globen Arena for next year's Eurovision Song Contest in May 2005”, but after some research it came out it was a joke. But the Swedish Head of Delegation was serious: “Actually, the story was only a joke, but it might be possible very well that we book Globen after all. When it comes to television production, you should always take your options into account and look ahead as far as possible”.
