MATT Ford's plans to announce his full Poole Pirates one-to-seven look set to be delayed.

Promoter Ford had hoped to announce the final two riders to fill the septet today.

However, Ford admitted "a few issues" had caused problems.

He said: "My plans to finalise the team later today may have to be halted as there are a few issues that need to be addressed before we are in a position to announce the line-up.

"We are working hard in trying to resolve these matters, which, whilst not insurmountable, do require our full attention.

"Until those matters have been settled we are not in a position to confirm our one-to-seven as I had originally hoped."
