Mr Egginton also tried to calm fans' fears that Mr Batchelor's 'wacky ideas' could end in Field Mill being bulldozed for a housing development - one of his plans during his ill-fated time as York City boss.
The mayor told Chad: "It is absolutely bizarre and he is not endearing himself to the fans at all.
"He doesn't seem to be interested in the supporters or the community at all . . . and after all they have have to put up with over recent years this really isn't good or doing the town any good at all.
"We need an owner who has a desire to build a strong foundation at Mansfield Town FC and get the club back to where it should be.
"He seems to be playing games with all this Harchester nonsense . . . it will not help the club at all.
"We need the club to be at the hub of the community as it once was, with, for instance, all schools finals being played there. It should be part of the community spirit."
He added that any name change would also hit the economy of the town. Mr Egginton said: "Part of the benefit of a football club to a town is simply the name which gets us represented through the media. Obviously, Mansfield is not Harchester."
However, Mr Batchelor has made it clear in comments at Chad.co.uk this week that he has no interest in engendering a community involvement at Field Mill.
In response to one of the questions posed on this website, he replied:
"As I said in an earlier answer, I do not buy into the club being a community resource, it's a business in the sport and entertainment industry, if we don't provide an appropriate level of service/performance, people won't come and it won't succeed.
"My job is to ensure that the club works at all levels, but if anybody else wants a say in that, then they have to invest and take risk.
"Frankly, I got sick to death of football fans saying that they wanted a say in how the club was run when I was at York. Do you get a say in how Tesco's is run?
"No, But we all use it every week don't we? If any fans want to share the not inconsiderable burden of running the club, then they are welcome, but not for free."

In response to fans' fears over the future use of the ground, should Mr Batchelor be successful in his bid to buy the stadium, the mayor added: "The Regional Spacial Strategy, in effect planning guidance, is just being adopted now and says that the Field Mill area has to be used for leisure use.
"If he had plans for the site, he would first have to build a new stadium elsewhere."
