E I Addio Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Kerr's 'actions' have made nobody look silly. Its all been blown way out of proportion. Depends how seriously you take it. This is only a discussion between fans based on partial assumptions. Bottom line is that as long as Chapman ( sorry I can't seriously call a grown man "Buster" ) keeps his own fans happy enough to come through the turnstiles no other opinions are of particular importance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 If Lakeside use Mear, Kerr & Blackbird that would leave 7.46 for the final rider! Kenni Larsen? 1 Andreas Jonsson 7.84 2 Kenni Larsen 7.26 3 Kim Nilsson 6.98 4 Eddie Kennett 5.86 5 Robert Mear 4.44 6 Lewis Kerr 4.22 7 Lewis Blackbird 3.70 Total: 40.30 I would be amazed if Mear is in the top 5, no chance of that happening at all would be my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 So has Kerr replaced Blackbird or Mear or no one knows yet!! It cant be all 3 surely. I would take Kenni Larsen over Bjarne Ped definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Kerr will be in place of one of them I'd imagine. My money is on Blackbird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Robert Mears sponsor on twitter seemed quite confident he was riding a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing he'd replacing Blackbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Surely if he was replacing a rider who was already confirmed for next year in Mear it would of said so in the statement released by the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I don't see how you can have two of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 We won't have all three of them, it will be Kerr for Blackbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Jon Cook to announce a signing on BBC Essex tomorrow. I hope it's one of the Pawlickis but somehow I doubt it. If it's Bjarne Pedersen I struggle to see what he can bring to the side that Mikkel Bech didn't . No announcement about Richard Lawson yet. If he doesn't come back it will be a massive hole to fill at second string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 We won't have all three of them, it will be Kerr for Blackbird. Agreed. Blackbird is one of the few riders smart enough to stay retired rather than make sporadic comebacks. Mear only wants to do one league so a lot will depend on how he fares with limited rides in the EL only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Strange that the SS has included all 3 in their list of 'riders signed so far', in this week's issue!! Mind you, they got the Heat Leader list wrong so who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePass Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Oh dear not filled with joy over the news of Bjarne Pedersen joining the hammers, he has been weak and seemed to lack commitment for the last few season lets hope he is going to have a second coming, only the weak league will help us now. Mind you will be happy to eat my words if he is on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) He did have a bad year last year. He was decent at Eastbourne always won heat 13 and 15 when it was most needed. Or as I like to say he helped us when the sh!t hit the fan Edited December 11, 2015 by Al3x200 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I hope the BP signing works out for the Hammers but thought the more interesting part of the press release was the piece about the new management structure: Jon Cook commented: “It’s an extremely exciting time behind the scenes and we have filled the breach left by Neil Vatcher with what we believe is a coup for the Club and a format that others will seek to copy.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Iam not jumping out my seat with excitement but I think in a very weak league he could do well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRushbrook Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Underwelmed with this. No disrespect to Bjarne who has been a fantastic professional over the years but he appears to be on a very quick downward spiral. Here's hoping he can arrest the slide a bit and recapture some of his old form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I think Thats a perfect marriage. Bjarne is a trapper, so should be a perfect fit around a technical track like Lakeside. can see him doing a decent job there. Not so sure he will pull up any gtrees away, but making ya home track a Fortress as to be the first thing on the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRushbrook Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 About 6.16 left for the final rider. Not sure Richard Lawson will return which is a shame. I wonder of we could get someone like Jedrezak. Or perhaps more likely, Peter Ljung as he is still an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
