MajorMauger Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Hitmen is a wonderful, completely original nickname that should be kept. Wouldn't it be better for any MDL team running out of Buxton to be called the Bulls or even better - Buxton Shotguns?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Buxton hitmen and if you’re using the high name it’s high edge not high peak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Well it’s good to see the Buxton name back, whatever their nickname is 👍 I’ll have to make a point of travelling to the Peak District next summer to take in a meeting (with my coat!).

Buxton didn't get great crowds & they've not ridden league Speedway since before COVID, so it's different to the Reading situation. That being said I think Buxton Hitmen rolls off the tongue, so I wouldn't have changed it, but don't see it affecting crowds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
