Recommended Posts

As you know Im normally the epitome of positivity,but a week or three ago you posed the question "Seb who",we will find out come this saturday wont we.

 

As for racing for his parent club,I thought that Alden had been transfered to Kings Lynn as a full-time star.

 

Good choice of guest...

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.

Fair enough,maybe then the author of the report on the Berwick site couldve been more careful with the termonology they used as it clearly says "name circulated for transfer".I feel its an important issue as some rely on this service so they can have an opinion on certain matters.

 

Did t realise he was a Berwick asset?? When did that happen?? Learn summit everyday!!

 

Oh yes bought on a full transfer from Swindon.

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.

so you buy an asset in this day and age only to make money on them?? Not to ride for and improve your team??.... No wonder I'm skint :) what would happen if he retired or had to retire through injury?? Insurance??

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 ?

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.

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.
