PIRATES GO FOR THE WRIGHT MAN

Swindon and Somerset rider Charles Wright will deputise for the absent Bjarne Pedersen in tonight's meeting at Wimborne Road,

Bjarne Pedersen has returned to Denmark under compassionate grounds to attend to some sad family news and the Pirates have sought BSPA approval to be granted a facility for him under the circumstances.

"Our thoughts are very much with Bjarne" admitted Poole boss Matt Ford "as ideally we would have wanted to field our own riders, but the management committee have understood our plight and confirmed that we can bring in Charles Wright for our meetings this week."

In a further change Wolverhampton have drafted in Rory Schlein to provide cover for Joonas Kylmakorpi who was due to make his British return tonight but was been taken ill ahead of his Swedish meeting last night.
