Title: Nixon Cricket
Post by: 123* on May 28, 2025, 07:50:00 AM
Anyone know if Nixon Cricket is still going in North Yorkshire?

Can’t seem to work it out from trying online?

Try giving them a ring! Just double check their number on google and their facebook page.

Turns out they are no more!

Wasn’t aware Nixon was no longer trading. Out of interest, did you hear this from the horses mouth?

The Cricketer reports: "An acclaimed bat-maker has walked away from the industry, blaming lack of help from the ECB and post-Brexit red tape. Wishing to remain anonymous, he said that the game is costing manufacturers and customers too much money."

It's probably Nixon if he's stopped making, but not sure he'll be the only one with how things are. It's difficult, especially with softs, willow prices, demands on bat sizes etc etc
