Islander15 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Has Marc Owen got a team place with anyone this year? Â His average is too high but he needs to go back to the hospital anyway because he still feels dizzy at times, so expect to see him make a mid-season return.

waco Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Best wishes to Marc,,,, he sensibly is not rushing his return from a head injury ,, i am sure he will return when he feels ready ,,a natruly talented rider with potential... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazeaway Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 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. Â Still, if his heart is in it he should be a cracking signing.

Â 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel1 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 "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.

bolly Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 So, Lens bringing back Stevie B into team ? Maybe he's boxing clever ? Or it could just be a stab in the dark ?? Hmmmmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 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.

Pinny Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Really like Boxall and hope one day he returns to the PL and becomes a heatleader once again. Â Spoke with him a few times at Newport and Somerset in the past, a top guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yes I do think with a brand new track like this challenging for silverware (remember the season starts off with the Trophy) will indeed further press interest (already excellent in the county) and will add numbers to the gate. Looking good! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Didn't know that Marc Owen was still on the injured list. Take care Marc and wait till you are fully fit again,speedway is a tough game. Cheers Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 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.

21st century heathen Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 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? Â 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.

blueherb777 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 21st think you are right,this could be a very interesting League with a number of teams fancying themselves to do well. Â Really looking forward to the Kent v Heathens clash. Â Sure Heathens will bring big support,could be a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

21st century heathen Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 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. Â 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. Â 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
