Well it was a frenetic start to the night Fred Taylor without Security clearance was stopped from going track-side to get together with the riders, but after conversations with the Stadium Manager the head of security allowed access with a visitors tabard.
Once there it was skipper Ambrose whose words inspired his team, Fred was playing an overseeing role although he made midweek changes to the team, he wouldn't change much from where Craig was at.
What transpired was a very hard fought bottom of the league clash, Wantage were solid throughout, whereas Hampden relied on the efforts of World Champion guest Luke Treadwell for the bulk of their points as Hansen gave good support.
On the night newbie Adam Bridgett belied his years to top score for the Kings, it was the solidarity of the team for getting behind the skipper during these sad times for the club owner, that won the fans over.
In an after meeting interview Adam explained Nick had told us to ride with pride and to respect the boss and his family by bringing in a must win victory, for me it was about proving myself as Craig thinks very highly of me, I think I might have done enough to make Craig proud of his efforts for me.
A very well earned victory and two important points, especially later in the season when we travel to Hampden
