Going places but big gamble as there are as many failures as success stories if heading down that route. Cheers....do not think that’s a goer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliantly talented on a bike but lack of funding and understanding on what engines need to do has held him back at anything above NL. If he gets a lot of assistance at Kent he could be a good option but how deep will the pockets be with two sides? Morley seems a no brainer but that doesn't always apply. How long has Steve Boxall got left on his ban? it's not just about the ban though is it ? do you know if he paid any fine imposed ? if there was a fine and he hasn't paid it the ban won't start until it is paid like danny bird .

I was mucking around a little although from the little i know he has an eye on a return to grasstrack once his ban has expired so who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueherb777 571 Posted November 21, 2019 What heat leaders are likely to sign for Kent? Looking at the Championship from last season....choice looks thin on the ground to me. T/R holder Ellis would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the Championship from last season....choice looks thin on the ground to me. T/R holder Ellis would be good. it's very hard for new Clubs moving up as we found last season and we only got Adam in when we did as he was "looking for rides" as Poland hadn't worked out. In Scott Nicholls you have an outstanding start but going to be hard to follow that up with another "big name" I think?? Poole would be favourites for Adam and Danny King and most of the others over 7.5 points are retained or signed up. I thought you might get Eddie Kennett but obviously not. I think best hope is to have Scott and a "Workington style" team of solid 5 and 6 pointer and then you have strong reserves all season. Days of len "buying a title" are over i would think as you'll need to get far bigger crowds in CL to compete with Glasgow / Leicester / Somerset / Poole etc who are big payers.

Forget Boxall, maybe Simon Lambert again not seen if he has a club Lol all of them sign for other clubs within the space of an hour except Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decent options are rapidly running out for Kent. Ellis widely tipped to be back at Brum, Bacon Poole bound and with Danish league also running on weds options are fewer still. Len has never been keen on the visa paperwork so its likely to be a European only side. Always have mixed feelings as should be a team who can gate but for entertainment it would be better with a team of crazy racers even if the track doesn't always lend to it.

If it is to be an overseas signing it could be someone he has worked with before. It won't be a Dane due to clash of race night but options might be Pontus Asprgen or, even, Linus Sundstrom.

I thought Ellis would be 'Dorset' bound? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
