PIRATES fans will be given the chance to become a VIP for the night when the Pirates face King’s Lynn on Wednesday.

Thanks to meeting sponsor County Crest Pallets, the first 100 supporters to buy a programme will receive a free draw ticket to present the rider-of-the-night trophy.

The lucky winner will be allowed in the VIP pit lane with another guest during the final heats and will be able to watch heat 15 from the centre green. They will then hand over the trophy on the start line.

The award will be given to the rider who attracts the most votes in a Twitter poll being set up for the occasion. Fans can vote for their chosen rider during the meeting, up until the end of heat 13.

Supporters should vote by tweeting the name of their top rider to @poolespeedway using the hashtag #TopPirate.

In a battle of the SGB Premiership's bottom two, Niels-Kristian Iversen looks set to return for King's Lynn having missed their past two meetings due to a troublesome shoulder problem.

Fellow Dane Kasper Andersen is unavailable due to racing commitments in his homeland, with his place set to be filled by Simon Lambert.

Recent signing Nicolai Klindt will make his seasonal debut for Pirates.
