wjm 261 Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Hope glasgow demand a huge loan fee for campton and price him out a team place Outraged when Glasgow signed Sweetman? These things happen…. Edited November 21, 2012 by wjm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted November 21, 2012 A bit late, I fear! He's been already sold to Workington where has that crack come from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,050 Posted November 21, 2012 Think the most annoying thing is if Glasgow hadn't took the risk on Bellego then Berwick would never even have looked at him. Even more annoying when he matched the criteria to be an asset Along the same lines as Campton, Glasgow took a risk and brought him half way round. Leicester & Workington think they're favourites to sign him, if he was waiting on them taking a risk on him he'd still be waiting in Oz. Your right but surely if Glasgow were so sure about Bellego they wouldve included him in last years team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firestone1 19 Posted November 21, 2012 Was he one you haven't mentioned?? He's certainly been mentioned! I think alot of Comets fans would like to see Mason riding for Workington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steelman 77 6 Posted November 21, 2012 Your right but surely if Glasgow were so sure about Bellego they wouldve included him in last years team. The feedback from the Glasgow promotion was that Bellego had said he didn't want to base himself in the North and was looking for hefty travelling expenses that couldn't be accommodated. Then out of nowhere he's apparently signed for Berwick and being spoken about as potential Berwick asset. Maybe it was Bellego that decided he didn't fancy Glasgow and if that's the case then ultimately he got his way and managed to ditch us totally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bellego was based in Berwick-upon-Tweed all year,and enjoyed himself thoroughly,what he,Glasgow,or Berwick thought I wouldnt know but one thing is clear,he is now a Berwick rider.Should,and its a very un-likely should,Berwick not run for 2013,Bellego could be a very attractive signing for someone.

Catch Me If You Can 260 Posted November 21, 2012 Your right but surely if Glasgow were so sure about Bellego they wouldve included him in last years team. I think, having read what you say, Bellego simply did not want to return to Glasgow for whatever reason? Seems he was extremely happy and popular in the Berwick area?

Paulco 7,072 Posted November 21, 2012 Paul perhaps you can elaborate what the 'mistake' was? Under the rules of 2011 David rode the requisite number of meetings to become a Glasgow asset - fact. I dont see anywhere in the rules of that season (or any other in recent years) that says to be an asset you must be signed for the following year. The mistake was being too soft and allowing the thing to drag on throughout the season . We should have never have gave in , Bellego rode the required number of meetings to be classed as a Tigers asset . When the BSPA said they were going to defer the thing till the end of the season we should have dug our heels in . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree the minute that Glasgow promotion allowed the BSPA defer it to the end of the season they allowed Berwick to sign him as an asset. I think that they really need to take a look at the asset situation is worked out, its far to complicated and too be honest out of date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad thing is , these days there aren't too many sellable assets . If we cant seem to be able to sell Nick Morris , what chance has Berwick got getting anything for Bellego if the chose to sell him in the future . Also if a rider states he doesn't want to ride for his parent club , like Grajczonek and Campton , then there isn't a lot the said parent club can do about it .

Paulco 7,072 Posted November 21, 2012 Heard on the grapevine today that Joe Screen has been released can anybody confirm this or is it just rumour Dont know too much about it , but apparently Joe has put something on Twitter about having to find new employment after a shock phone call yesterday . Of course it might not be speedway related , but i would not be surprised if it were . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transfers are exceptionally rare in speedway these days, the only recent ones that I can recall were Danny King and Craig Cook. The only profit you will make on assets these days that don't ride for the club is rake in the loan fees, but I still think that the system is out of date and needs to be brought into line with other sports.

I don't think there was anything "apparently" about his signing. Of course, one scenario that fits is that the Glasgow Promotion wer talking more bollocks than the Rangers official who said "The VAT cheque? Oh aye, that's in the post".
