Well, it was certainly interesting to see Troy Batchelor at Brough Park this afternoon.

Interesting, in what way?

A proper no1 would be a good start.Barker def ain’t that.a team manger that knows what it’s about would be another huge step forward,why Royno wasn’t put in 14 is anyone’s guess.

could've been worse, imagine Flint or Dan Thompson replacing Freeman!

Can't imagine it as both of those riders were in the same U19 Final meeting that Archie was in. :o

What is Batchelor doing at this level, other than making easy money of course?
 

Nice to see Max Clegg back to 2019 form.

For Batchelor read a great many more...

Hence teams are struggling at the 2nd tier level due to the costs involved in paying many 1st tier heat leaders..

I don't think Batchelor is finding it easy money in the Championship.  He has been beaten many times and even had the occasional last place.

Is there any chance of bringing anyone in before the transfer window shut 

With only upto 3 home and, after Wednesday upto 3 away league matches left,,, could you see it happening?

No surprise really as he is riding against virtually all the same riders he rides against in tier one..

My point was he shouldnt be singled out given so many tier one riders are doing exactly the same..

It’s the pay rates for these “dropping a league “ riders that’s the problem.

Somebody has got to agree to pay them, you can't blame a rider for being overpaid, when a promoter agrees to pay it. Its a bit like people blaming MacDonald's for being fat.
