Monmore is about twice the width of Arlington :D 

Many who attend Eastbourne regularly enjoy their speedway and I respect that but it’s without doubt the worst racetrack I’ve been too, far too narrow and tight. 

As a regular at Monmore and occasional visitor to Arlington I much prefer the latter. Technical but it can be attacked unlike Monmore. 

Monmore was designed for 2 riders and a fantastic opportunity missed to create a lovely d-shape down back straight.

Its got nothing to do with who can and who can't do it. Someone had to go, and it appears its because Thorsell was going to be based in Sweden rather than England. Thorsell himself said it would be a problem a few weeks ago.

It always makes me laugh when riders earnings are discussed. It isn't really anyone else's business other than the rider and club thats paying. Most deals are private and us mere mortals really don't know. I'm sure we'd be surprised if we did. Rumours abound that a rider is earning such and such but its a subject thats taboo in so many ways.

no one has mentioned how much they are earning or what it is ? every club has a rider on more points money than other riders what's up with you !! thorsell would have been top earner there !! just like all other number ones at other clubs for christ sake :rofl:

But...you'll never know...keep assuming.

There's a lot more to it than points money. You've got guarantees, van or no van, accomodation, flights, sign on fees, etc, etc.

Three heat leaders all on the same guarantee per meeting is one FACT I do know (not Wolves).

My point is, you don't really know, and my guess is that money had nothing to do with Thorsell not riding for Wolves in 2021.
