They interupt the flow of punter traffic on the way up to the course - for that they should be removed (finally a use for our Health and Safety culture).
Mind you Cheltenham themselves do it - radios, that ticket caravan office with a snake like queue outside it , the timeform and racing post kiosks etc etc.
Then you have activists, people emptying the Irish independent to give you a program for a quid, buskers, table dancers and bookmaker fliers ...... it all adds to the buzz though
