Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted September 2, 2023 I wonder if batch would have been pulling wheelies at the back if Stewart Dickson had been present ??? and if so what Stewart’s reaction have been when he returned to the pits. Both Batch and Craig cook need to decide if they want to continue riding speedway then they either give it everything or give up. This half hearted efforts do them or the promotions no good at all. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who said he was after the Wild Card? Surely another British Champion title was uppermost in his thoughts. He would then have declined the Wild Card. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,864 Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Pairs been a staple for Glasgow over relatively recent years. 4th time I can think of that we've won it. Shane and Geo, Shane and Danny bird, screeny and I want to say grievesy? Even in the doldrums had a habit of doing well in the pairs. Can't believe forgot cookie and rasser won it too Edited September 2, 2023 by Jaizer . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted September 2, 2023 Congratulations to Glasgow on their win. Just like the CLRC at Redcar a few days ago its sad to see riders either pulling out or just not wanting to race in the first place, you would think that riders would do everything possible to represent their club and the fans of that club who support them through the season. Alas it appears not. As for the antics from Troy Batchelor, I`m surprised anyone is surprised anymore. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batch shouldn’t be given that option in my opinion - total lack of respect for he event, the paying public and the race jacket of the team he was representing.

Unfortunately he has history off throwing in the towel during a meeting or doesn’t make the gate.Binning him wouldn’t do the Brummies any harm given their predicament now.Poor show especially with the cameras there.

lisa-colette 6,034 Posted September 2, 2023 Don't think Brum can sack Batch? As you are not allowed to sign anyone anymore, so wouldn't even get a facility? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
