Foxes not here to "make up the numbers"

NORTHAMPTON chief Paul Hunsdon insists the club are not here to “make up the numbers” ahead of next season. 

The Foxes take on King’s Lynn in the last ROWE Motor Oil Premiership fixtures of the campaign tonight, live on BSN at 7pm.

The two clubs both finished outside the play-off places, although the Foxes’ first season has still been regarded as a major success.

They bring in Sam Masters to guest at No.5 for the injured Jaimon Lidsey and operate rider replacement for Niels-Kristian Iversen at No.1, whilst the Stars track their regular septet.

Foxes co-promoter Hunsdon said: “Tuesday night isn’t our normal racenight so it’s a little different for us, but hopefully everyone will turn out in good numbers and we’re looking forward to saying our farewells for the season.

“It’s our final meeting and the weather forecast is on our side, and we’ll be thanking the fans by bringing all the riders out to meet and greet them afterwards as well as the management, myself, Tony (Gaul) and Chris (Adams).

“Then we can start to plan things for next season, and we do have plans to be a force in British Speedway.

“We’re not here to make up the numbers and we want to develop the club.” both and off the track. It’s been a good first season, and we hope it will be a great second season!”

NORTHAMPTON: Niels-Kristian Iversen R/R, Kye Thomson, Nicolai Klindt, Adam Ellis, Sam Masters, Mitch McDiarmid, Luke Harrison.
KING’S LYNN: Max Fricke, Ben Cook, Jan Kvech, Cooper Rushen, Chris Harris, Jordan Jenkins, Jody Scott.
