King's Lynn call on Wilson for Bees clash.
King's Lynn have booked in Sheffield's Sean Wilson as a guest replacement for the injured Sebastian Ulamek for tomorrow night's away Sky Sports Elite league match at Coventry.
The 32 years old Yorkshireman is, in fact, a former Coventry rider having had two spells with the Midlands side, the last being in the 1997 season in which he rode in 31 matches and achieved a 5.67 average.

With Ulamek and Russian Roman Povazhny once again ruled out through injury when it came to team selection for the match, Knights boss Nigel Wagstaff had to work hard to find a suitable guest burning up the phone lines, finally plumping for Wilson.
"Once again it has not proved easy for us when it came to finding a guest replacement," he explained, "but I'm confident Sean can, and will, do a good job for us.
"He is afterall one of the, if not the top riders in the Premier League and, quite simply, there was no suitable replacement for Seb to be found from the other Elite League sides especially given the fact that Seb's average is below eight points.
"I did try both Steve Johnston and Lukas Dryml from Oxford but neither are available and that is why I plumped for Sean who, as I said, I'm confident will do well.
Team for tomorrow at Coventry: 1. Nicki Pedersen (C), 2. Tom P Madsen, 3. rider replacement, 4, Travis McGowan, 5. Sean Wilson (Guest), 6. Freddie Eriksson, 7. Emil Kramer.
