Probably already been poached by Wolves.

Suppose we are just going to have to play the waiting game :-)

Can imagine most Swindon Fans gutted as know I would be if I was one of them. Whoever gets him on that 6.60 bargain GSA are going to be happy bunnies that's for sure.

At least Swindon have now announced his release together with Bellego

Gutted Morra is leaving - hoping he is going to Wolves which was the original rumour months ago.

So does this mean that Batch is staying?  If not, why not announce him at the same time?

Maybe Rosco wants to spread the news out to keep the fans interest on these dark/damp and dreary days.

Swindon possibly looking at this 1-7 now.

1. Jason Doyle 9.80

2. Dimitri Berge 4.00

3. Tobiasz Musielak 6.52

4. Adam Ellis 6.42

5. Troy Batchelor 7.69

6. Zach Wajtknecht 4.37

7. Stefan Nielsen 3.67

Not sure this works, if the numbers are correct, that would mean Zach at No 2, I would have thought the plan would be to have Zach at reserve.

Can see another Miedzinski situation here, bargain average rider doesn't ride for us, goes away ups average, becomes worthless to parent club.

Correct Zach at No.2. My mistake. With the Swindon statement stating David and Nick not returning it hints at Batchelor and Ellis staying otherwise Swindon would have added those names to the statement in my opinion 

Batch isn't out asset, so no reason for Rosco to mention him.

How can a rider be ‘poached’ if announced as released by parent club?:blink:

The announcement said that Nick had asked to be released.

Would he ask that if not already set up with another team, I wonder?

Not gutted just pleased that this means Troy will be retained meaning a very potent one two with Doyley

I’m sure with the vast majority of the riders they already knew where they were riding at the end of this season.

looks to me that he just wants a change, a shame for Swindon fans with him being on such a bargain average.

I said if last years regs remain

There was nothing in last seasons reg's that stop him riding on a Championship converted average. It only states that if a rider is given a 4 average, he can not drop below 4 during that season. It does not mention following seasons.

Joke really as Nick was chosen over Jason last season & then when his average, which he attained riding for us will now benefit another club. Thanks a lot Nick!!

No way are Zach or the 2 reserves you name good enough to ride in the main body of the team.
