g13webb Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 All this talk, insinuating it was Lynn's fault of Kerr leaving, but from what I am lead to believe this is his doing. He has choose to leave the Stars, siting the race night as the reason why. But the truth is he would rather to ride for Ipswich than the team who has given him the best opportunity, for his career to improve. Obviously, Lynn would have wanted to keep Kerr. It wasn't about Lynn not wanting him, it was a case of him wanting out....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Kerr only been riding about 4 years. He will be up there with the best no doubt in my opinion Some said that about Roynon. I like Kerr, clearly has natural ability and made great progress in a short time. Let's see how he comes back from a serious injury and time on the sidelines first.

It wasn't about Lynn not wanting him, it was a case of him wanting out....... He has tweeted that he "can't wait" to be at Lakeside and have it as his home track. Which suggests that for whatever reason, everything in the garden at KL was not rosy, and it may well be that for some reason he had fallen out with the KL management. No doubt there are two sides to the story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 He's got to look forward to racing for Lakeside, he wouldn't be tweeting anything else ..... I read it that it's been on the cards to race for the Witches for a while and something he wanted to do. Had Lynn kept to Wednesdays it would have worked out perfect, but he's chosen the next closest now he's a new Dad . Hope he has a good season apart from against Lynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Don't really understand why people think there has to have been some kind of fall out or that anybody has to take the blame for the Kerr situation.....circumstances have conspired against Lewis riding for both Lynn and Ipswich, just one of those things. Personally I think riding two different circuits next season at what are two decent clubs will do him a lot of good and help his career. Pretty sure we haven't seen the last of him at King's Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Baggy. Bound to see him again when Lakeside are at Saddlebow Road! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there are two sides to the story. What is he meant to say"not really looking forward to riding at Lakeside".Because that would get the fans on his side straight away.Most riders wherever they go will say that they are looking forward to riding for their new clubs they would foolish not to.Honestly people read into things and automatically thinks he has fallen out with the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't about Lynn not wanting him, it was a case of him wanting out....... I think your wrong but you may also be right. We'll never know. One thing for sure, he owes us nothing. He's gone above & beyond to deliver on track for us and that's what he gets paid to do. I suspect, this change is about ambition to develope and better himself and a change of scenery may deliver just that. This may also have come about because of his accident, knowing life is short and financial gains cannot be ignored. I certainly don't expect rider's to see out the career at one club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't expect rider's to see out the career at one club A lot of what you say I agree with. but to me its the timing of it all. Obviously he agreed to be a draft nominated rider for Lynn when asked, otherwise Buster wouldn't have choose him. Had he told Lynn of his ideas then , Buster and Rob could have approached the draft selection differently . (for instance), By protected Rose in tier2 instead, we would have had first selection of the remaining riders in tier1. By leaving the club now, he has made the Draft process even a bigger joke, than it was when left to the BSPA. Just because our race nights clashes with Ipswich Kerr decided to leave. He was made aware of Lynn's intentions of racing on Thursdays before he signed for the Witches, but he still went and signed. That's not the action of someone who had any thoughts about this club, that says he couldn't get away quick enough. No, He's certainly gone down in my estimation......

semion Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I agree, Baggy. Bound to see him again when Lakeside are at Saddlebow Road! But will we ? With Ipswich riding on a Thursday night and now Kerr out on loan at Lakeside who has first dibs on his services ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gone up in mine - expected him to ditch the Witches which to my mind would have been very unfair as they have done nothing wrong - it's Kings Lynn who are late in the process of signing riders and now we finally learn why - changing race night. Whether Lewis was aware of this possibility or not is immaterial as I would imagine it's in the PL where he will earn more than riding as a FDR in the EL from what I have read on the pay scale previously. There are very few PL teams who could at this late stage accommodate his average and with a new baby I imagine he would not wish to travel to Edinburgh or Plymouth on a weekly basis for instance. He has done what he thinks is right for him and his family and good luck to him at both new home clubs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have just messed about there own rider and if anything they should have made a decision on race night BEFORE the draft. Do they really expect Lewis to sit around twiddling his thumbs with a huge possibility he could be left without a PL club whilst they make decisions? If anything they owe their assets more respect. They can't blame Lewis in the slightest. He has a career to think of and his parent club haven't really helped his cause. More fool them if he sees his future elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I think Kennett was transferred to Rye House after Lakeside signed him so Lakeside still had priority as he was a Coventry asset at the time he was announced in the line up.
