Will only be just turned 16 and  UK born  so comes in on a 2 point average. Would love to see him at worky, but the south coast £££s will probably have him signed up unfortunately 

What like Anders Rowe was

Interesting comments by Andrew Baines about the Batch signing -

“Troy has shown over the past two seasons exactly what he brings to the team, both on and off the track, and having him in that second or third heat-leader role strengthens us massively"

Second or third heat leader? I wonder who's coming in

I guess if they used Batchelor at 3 rather than 5, that could be called the "third heat-leader role" even if he's 2nd in the averages?

For example I would say Howarth had the 2nd heat leader role (heat 13s) for Glasgow, despite Dan T having a higher average for the majority of the season.

I dont have a problem with any of the 4 signed allready 

You can have best team ever on paper but they don't perform on track 

Only time will tell how the team gells and perform on track 

 

Won’t be long into the season before Batchelor gets in a strop.

Isn't it strange all the people who are knocking batch only talk about a couple of episodes of strange behaviour, but Troy has had some very good meetings for the Comets over the last couple of years, at Redcar he was superb same as at Oxford and Plymouth, true fans witness these meetings and don't take notice of hearsay. Agree can be frustrating when not in the right frame of mind, but 98% of the time I have no issues at home or away with Troy on a 7.10 average

Troy, other than the start of the season in the KO comps, has been decent. He, on countless occasions, has made embarrassing results less embarrassing.

This season he disappointed at redcar but the season before he was phenomenal there, beating both King and Wright.

This season he was good at Plymouth, Oxford, Scunthorpe, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

In fairness he is probably worth his average, it seems low for his ability but like Lewis Kerr had some bad meetings for whatever reason.

I really like your new number one, rode very well when guesting for Poole at Glasgow, I am sure he will be an excellent signing. It has been said many times about Troy's temperament even going back to his Kings Lynn days, he has never ridden for Kings Lynn since but he is a good rider when he is in the mood.
