Did you really place the name ‘Phil Taylor’ in the same sentence as ‘sportsman’?
Alongside Formula 1 and squash. Ye Gods! Let’s watch the paint dry – although darts is probably the most exciting of the lot.
Thanks Seabird. Not a problem. Almost everywhere I post on the forum someone tells me I should be posting elsewhere. Rather than have this hastle it would easier not to post here so this will be my last.
Thank God for that.
Perhaps a single enclosure at all courses, with entry dependent on the ability to pay plus a swipe of a national ID card to indicate that the entrant doesn’t have a criminal record.
Mind you, that might discount a significant number of the moneyed ‘classes’ and, if we had a fair, honest society, the Royals too.
Doncaster hav turned their premir race into a chav filled piss up witha crap under card.
The idea that the requirement to wear a jacket and tie will restrict the audience to a ‘better class of person’ is laughable! How many well-dressed, cocaine-snorting boneheads are there in the members enclosure at Newmarket on any given Saturday?
It’s like saying that the owner of a £30K 4×4 is automatically a better driver than somebody who drives a budget model of car.
Get real.
Silly boy! It amused me to point out your error, nothing more and I really can’t be bothered to enter into further discussion. Feel free to have the last say, if you must.
Withnail. In the same spirit of improvement, I feel it only right to point out the unusual version of ‘available’ in your signature. A typo, I’m sure.
Under the circumstances do you think that a I could give a sh*t?
Now, where’s that lighter fluid?
Can’t speak for anyone else but I’d appreciate it if you’d stop trying to use the forum to promote yourself.
There is far too much racing in the UK and why? Largely, perhaps, to serve self-seeking industry interests. Having been mad keen on the sport since my teens and a regular bettor, I pay relatively little attention to it now – viewing it as dull and unimaginitve. However, I’m sure that the spend of lager-swilling chavs carries far more weight than my views and a good time will be had by all this Saturday at Ascot.
Who, in their right mind, uses the like of Hills, et al, for betting on racing anyway?
The point to point comments smack of inverted snobbery.
The remarks regarding unimaginative programming of individual racecards are valid and cards where 50% or more of the races are run over the same or similar distances are not uncommon – Haydock and Newmarket take note.
I went to Thirsk for the first time on Saturday. £13 into Tatts (the paddock), convenient free parking just over the road and very compact with easy access to the pre-parade ring and paddock.
Plenty of food and drink outlets were available and, in the grand scheme of things, the prices were reasonable – although the pints had a healthy head.
The quality of racing was modest but so what!
Lots of coach parties were in attendance but we didn’t experience any trouble. However, the insistence of females (young and not so young) to dress like lap dancers and plaster themselves with fake tan on a damp Saturday afternoon in North Yorkshire was bemusing.
