Can't see it myself - very vague if it is! I certainly wouldn't say "fox" if someone asked.

 

[RHYDAL]

Because you've been hounded out of the Championship?

Looks more like a rhinocerous to me.

In the early days of the club there wasn't an official nickname.
The Mockery used the name the 'knuts' for a while. Many supporters have started using a similar nickname more recently.

It’s because we get mercilessly slaughtered every time we come out to play

 

[Jeff]

We'll be crap until we get a stuffed fox.

 

[OldGit]

Proud wild creatures reduced to scavenging round dustbins and in danger of being run over every time we venture out?
