screm Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Surely not! No mention of a transfer in the press or on Lynn website Berwick Manager Ian Rae announced on Wednesday (28th November), “Seb has been in discussions with us and for family and personal reasons feels he cannot commit to Premier League racing in 2013. This has meant him often being away from Friday to Monday each week and with more and more Premier tracks racing weekends it has not helped. With this in mind he has expressed a desire to race full time Elite League and Berwick have today circulated his name for Transfer to all Elite clubs and one track is already in talks with him.” Taking from the Berwick site Wednesday November 28th.

Did t realise he was a Berwick asset?? When did that happen?? Learn summit everyday!! Oh yes bought on a full transfer from Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So buy him as an asset, then he doesn't want to ride.... Sounds like good business Two years' loan fees from Lynn would go a long way towards paying off the transfer value (which wasn't as much as some reported at the time). With the option of a return to Shielfield later on. You were right -- good business, even although you were trying to be sarcastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder I'm skint what would happen if he retired or had to retire through injury?? Insurance?? Ive know doubt that Alden was signed as a full time asset as at that time the club and the rider thought that they had a long term relationship in place.That changed by the looks of things for a variety of reasons. He WAS circulated for transfer, obviously didn't happen, so better to get a seasons loan fee ? Should this not be discussed on a Berwick thread instead of Glasgow v Berwick ? Would Berwick get a loan fee from Kings Lynn,with Kozza Smith coming the other way maybe there was a swap agreement for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
