Wee Eck Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 There is one rider who seems to get very little noticed this year and yet he is doing well enough that, although not number one at Swindon, with his average, he’d be number one at Ipswich, Peterborough, Poole and Wolverhampton. Could Troy Batchelor be the Robins secret weapon that will spur them on the league success? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly did a great job helping spur Poole to the title a few years ago, with a 'Man Of The Match' performance for them in a crucial 'must win' meeting for them to qualify for the play offs.. A great performance that night, all live on TV too.. Unfortunately he was riding for Swindon that season who Poole then beat in the final.. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Troy really is one of those riders than can win or lose a meeting for any team he races for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have never beaten Swindon in a Grand final, although we beat them in 2012 final, and are their bogey team. Doyley and him top 2 at moment. I remember a young Batch easily beating Leigh at Swindon when riding for Poirates. Edited August 10, 2019 by auntie doris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the year he helped Poole into the play offs (2013) it was the Semis he (and his team) got knocked out by them... Shame it wasn't the final, he could have got a runners up and a winner medal maybe? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) The way he is knocking up the points, often scoring more points than Jason in away meetings, he can whinge and swear at the ref all he likes.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Perhaps Rosco has bought one of those useful lanyards that stop the dummy from falling to floor even if its spat out Its then easy to reinsert and avoid prolonged disruption 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but if he is whinging and swearing it distracts him from his scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly works like that for some, but I get the feeling Batch isn't one of those people. Need the theory tested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
