Having gone to meet the riders and having heard from the new promoters I have to say my first impression is that I think the club is in very good hands. Chris Louis had really pushed the club to new professionalism levels and commercial success. He and Julie deserve a lot of credit and I thank them both for their efforts  Richard Coleman spoke very openly and honestly and he is definitely a very strong leader with a clear vision. He believes like most fans that the way forward is for an independent ruling body to stop the self interest ruining the sport.  it’s going to be a very interesting seeing how the top table deal with this breath of fresh air. 

They got the name following conversations with local people as the thing they kept hearing when mentioning Northampton speedway was ”wear the fox hat”.

Scunny team is a bit unbalanced at the minute in that they only have 1 strong heat leader at 1 and 5 and on last nights showing the important 3 and 4 pairing wasn't strong enough away from the EWR.  After getting 10 heats in by 8:15pm we got an electrical delay and on a very  cold evening should maybe have gone to green flag starts sooner. After not grading during the delay we got 2 heats in after the resumption of racing and then had a grading break. Scunny using a tac sub added to the overall meeting duration with Pickering having 3 rides on the trot in 11, 12 & 13 which may have prompted the grading break before 13. Think the meeting finished around 21:50 so the last 5 heats took about 95 minutes by which time I was pretty darn cold. Roy Clarke intimated rabbits may have been responsible for the electrical problem which prompted a picture in my mind of the Ware Rabbit running round the ECCO Arena.

Pulled a win out in his 3rd ride and looked neat and tidy. 3 lasts in his other rides, No2 is a tough position though.

As someone who's grew up in Leicestershire Foxes is an odd choice..

Foxes? The progress is glacial!
