I take it the organisers asked Ipswich, Berwick, Sheffield, Workington and Redcar if they could supply a second rider before having a third Glasgow rider in the field.

It depends whether you want good riders in the event or not eg graversen is the Sheffield rep so who would be there second rider. Despite criticism from some Glasgow fans Summers has been in the championship top 20 averages all year so has earned his place

What's up with Bjerre or Bates? Whilst there is no denying Summers deserves his place on merit the PLRC or whatever has never allowed 3 riders from the same team in it. The year Kenni Larson won Newcastle also had Rene Bach, and Mark Lemon missed out when he was in the top TEN!!

No idea why bates and bjerre aren't racing but presumably not available otherwise graversen wouldn't be riding. Accept summers wouldn't normally get a spot but sadly with all the injuries he is an obvious last minute replacement. Of course I am sure Workington fans would rather James Sargent had been picked 😉

Picked up a leg injury on Sunday. He's out for at least two weeks apparently, so will miss this weekend and possibly the double header on the 22nd.

 

It's reported that they are planning major work on the track over the winter. Widening the straights by taking 1 1/2 metres off the insides, bringing the bends in by two metres on the inside and, I hope, reducing the banking accordingly.

I would rather another team had a couple of riders in the field than Glasgow and Peterborough having three. If the other teams cannot provide a second representative then that's a different story (sure Ipswich or Berwick could find another rider for the field).
