This completes a shocking fall from grace for Boxall. I remember seeing him at 15 and thinking he was the future of British Speedway. He should be an Elite League number one by now.

 

Still, if his heart is in it he should be a cracking signing.

I agree Stevie had and I think still has that potential. But this isn't a fall from grace so much as the beginning of a comeback - because he has had a spell out and indeed was concentrating on other sports so I hear - it's fantastic news in particular for the Kent club to have such a local star at their disposal: one to capture the imagination.

"Boxer" Boxall to lead the way, I am sure that he will have some decent machinery and will want to prove himself.. Young Marc Owen I believe is a Lakeside asset and would possibly be guided by Jon Cook regarding his career, he was struggling with the costs involved a year ago so a move to a closer home team could sway him if the opportunity arose.

It's a shame to see Steve Boxall in the NL. He'd average 4 in this season EL. If eh really wanted to commit to speedway I think he could walk into the majority of PL and EL teams and improve them. But I guess if he only wants to play at speedway, NL is the place to do it. If Kent do sign Robert Lambert too, they'll have the top 2 riders in the league and Len Silver and David Mason will probably be correct, this team will win the league.

I have said before that hopefully Kent will have a team that competes for the League to try and get and keep a good number coming each week.

And maybe win some sort of silverware in the season.

I think it looks like a more competitive League than last season with Dudley,Mildenhall and IOW in the shakeup.

Interview with Marc in a recent Speedway Star. Still got side effects from his head injury.

Am sure everyone wishes him well.

I think Marc was probably the most talented 14-year-old I've ever seen and I'm sure he can bounce back from the several injury set-backs he's had since then had to realise his brilliant potential.

Smart move to get Boxall in the team. It will take something very special to stop him becoming the league's number 1. I don't see a problem with him starting in the NL. It will only be a matter of weeks before the PL and EL come knocking on his door. Surely it's all about getting as many meetings as he can for a year so that he can blow away the cobwebs?

 

If Lambert has signed too then Kent become the new favourites with only IOW capable of challenging them in my opinion. Mildenhall and Dudley perhaps the favourites for 3rd and 4th but the rest are very much closer this time so I'll take nothing for granted at all.

21st think you are right,this could be a very interesting League with a number of teams fancying themselves to do well.

 

Really looking forward to the Kent v Heathens clash.

 

Sure Heathens will bring big support,could be a cracker.

:t:

If lambert has signed he is "the something very special" that will stop boxhall becoming the leagues #1...personally cant see lambert riding in the national league when he could be riding in germany,possibly even poland for a lot more money.best of luck to him what ever he and his family decide.

I'm sure a fair few will make the trip. It's a long round trip though so perhaps not so many as do the more local ones. :)

 

Lambert will be up there as a top heat leader if he has signed. I've long-since said that if he intends to ride in the British league next year then coming over to do the NL this year would serve him well. Not for the competition but for the head start on learning our tracks and bike set-up. It would prove valuable practice for the PL and EL next season. NL only won't stop him still heading back over to the Continent to do some meetings at a higher level as well.

 

The league's top 5 should be Boxall, Lambert (if signed), Perry, Nielsen and Ellis. :)

Germany (and Poland) probably won't clash with too many mid-week NL meetings. The more he races the better ATM.
